Wholly Inappropriate Topics for a Musical

[Full Tilt Boogie]

Like it says on the tin: pick a subject matter or topic on which it would be entirely inappropriate to base a musical.

For example:

"Jonestown - the Musical!"

With its scene-stealing numbers like "Drinking the Kool Aid", and "Gonna Shoot Me a Congressman", and "It's like a Jungle Sometimes..."

Tagline: "By Jiminy Jones, it's GREAT!"

[Ray Moscow]

Of course the South Park creators beat us to it with their early film, Cannibal: The Musical. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibal!_The_Musical)

[Full Tilt Boogie]

Abu Ghraib - a tale of forbidden love, enforced homosexual rape, torture, sadomasochism, racism.

Tagline - "studded leather collars, harnesses and dog leads - one for the BDSM crowd!"

[Berthold]

Ameslan - the Musical

[Full Tilt Boogie]

"Katrina - What a Blow Job!"

Tagline: "Bayou-busting Fun!"

Including numbers like:

"When all the Lights went out!"

"Dropping the Dead off at the Mall"

"When all the Drugs Ran Out"

"Daddy's been in that chair and hasn't moved for 8 days & is beginning to smell"

"Does The President Give a Fuck?!"

[Full Tilt Boogie]

"The von Bulows on Ice!"

Tagline: "So Good It'll Shake You Out of a Coma!"

[Monad]

Anna Nicole Smith - The Opera

At around the time of his arrest, Private Eye had a pseudo-advert for:

Fred West Side Story

And I remember it "featuring the hit song" '(I've Just Killed Girl Called) Maria'.


However, a brief Google shows that, much like one's lunch, you can't keep a sick idea down: apparently someone called Kevin Bishop did a piece with that title in his Channel 4 show.

I was thinking more "Working the Copa Guantanamo", a spicy little salsa number.

We could also have the TV game show:

Srebrenitsa Knockout

In which teams from Pontypool and Wigan take turns dressing up in huge padded VRS uniforms, and have to try to pull Bosnian Muslims off a bouncy castle and hit them with giant rubber guns while the other team, dressed as comedy UN peacekeepers, throw buckets of red-dyed water at them.

Fukushima Glow
****The Musical for the End of Days****

Star performances of great toe-tapping show tunes like "Swept Away", "Oops, There's Goes Another Containment Vessel", "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Hiroshima", "What's A 'Shima', Anyway?", "Low-Down Spent Rod Pool", and amaze to the stylings of the TEPsters in their Busby Berkley inspired dance medley number, "Everything's Gonna Be All Right/Get A Glow On". Revel in the show anthem, "Drifting To You".

[Noumenon]

Brass Eye presented Sutcliffe: The Musical (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V58_V83skJE) for our delictation.

For non-English readers, Peter Sutcliffe was dubbed "the Yorkshire Ripper" for murdering thirteen women and attacking another seven when I was a child, so I'm clearly not responsible.

For non-English readers, all the persons you see in that clip are comedians in funny costumes - except the last one, a sport-connected minor TV celebrity who really does look like that by his own choice (aside from god's involvement).

Mel Brooks was close with Springtime for Hitler, the musical featured in The Producers. See also the sprightly number "The Inquisition," featuring Torquemada as the soloist, in History of the World Part I.

When I was in high school, I participated in a production of T. S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral. For those who don't know, it's a dour and solemn verse drama about the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket by some knights of King Henry II. At the cast party, we put on the parody musical version; the showstopper was Becket and the Knights doing a high-kicking rendition of "I'm Gettin' Murdered in the Mornin'" ("...so get me to the church on time!")

Japan - The Musical - "a tsunami of fun!"

Bobbit: The Musical

link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_and_Lorena_Bobbitt) for those who don't know who this refers to

featuring the hit song "And he'll have fun fun fun till his wife takes his penis away." (with apologies to the Beach Boys.)

I actually went ahead and came up with the full lyrics:

Well, he got his daddy's cash And he found a latina wife, now

Seems he forgot all about decency

Like he told his old man, now

And with the radio blastin' goes Cruisin' just as fast as he can, now

Chorus 1:And he'll have fun, fun, fun 'Til his wife takes his penis away

Fun, fun, fun, 'til his wife takes his penis away

Verse 2:Well, the girls can't stand him Cause he walks, looks, and drives like an ass, now

(You walk like an ass, now, you act like an ass)He makes the Ted Bundy look like he's full of class, now You look like an ass, now, you act like an ass)A lot of guys want to kick his ass now

But he runs from them like a puss now(You drive like a puss, now, you drive like an ass)[repeat chorus][Instrumental break (organ/guitar solo):

Verse 3:Well, you knew all along That your wife was gettin' wise to you, now (You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)And since she took your penis You been thinkin' that your fun is all through now (You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied) But you can get it reattatched 'Cause you got a lot of bitches to do now (You shouldn't-a lied, now, you shouldn't-a lied)

Chorus 2 [2X]:And you'll have fun, fun, fun Now that Lorena took your penis away

(Fun, fun, fun, now that Lorena took your penis away) Coda [repeat to fade]:Fun, fun, fun now that Lorena took your penis away

Fun, fun, now that Lorena took your penis away
