Biped, The musical

I have decided that I need to make a musical... one with meaning... So I have started writing the script for it... I just need someone to help with the scoring (at some point, I will sing the songs out accapella so that anyone who wants to help score it can at least hear the tune...)

The musical is Biped, the Musical... It is basically about a lonely moped, shunned by the bipeds, that makes friends with a quadroped and an octoped and ultimately saves the bipeds from the evil Velociraptor... He may die but I haven't gotten that far...

HEre are the lyrics for the first two songs... by tonight, I should have the first two songs recorded accapella for anyone who wants to help... just don't take the lyrics or use them without permission...

Biped: the Musical!

(Oh, by the way, the spirit of Keith Moon touched me as I wrote these songs so he is credited as a coauthor... continue)

The lights come up on a group of bipedal hominids (or maybe they are bipedal dinosaurs) are onstage. They proceed to dance as a trumpet flourish announces that:

The Biped Song
By Karli Martin and Keith Moon

We… are…
Just a couple of bipeds
Living in a bipedal world.
We’ve got two legs
We’ve got two feet
And we’re living in a bipedal world!

We can wear pants
We wear a pair of shoes
We can do the splits
And we never sing the blues
‘Cause we’re just a couple of bipeds,
Living in a bipedal world!

We can tap dance
We can skip around
Where one leg is
The other one will be found
‘Cause we’re just a couple of bipeds
Living in a bipedal world!

Dance Break

Oh…
We… Are…
Just a couple of Bipeds
Living in a bipedal world!
We’ve got two legs
We’ve got two feet
And We’re Living in a bipedal world.

We’re living
(yes we’re living)
Oh we’re living!
(Yes we are living)
We are living
In a bipedal world!

Suddenly, the Lonely Moped enters, hopping, as most mopeds do. He is a monopedal humanoid... probably... maybe some kind of hadrosaurid dinosaur. The other bipeds scatter at the sight of him. A single spot light shines on him and he mounrfully sings accapella:

The Moped Song
By Karli Martin and Keith Moon

I'm just a lonely moped,
living in a bipedal world
I've got one leg
I've got one foot
And I'm living in a bipedal world

I cannot dance
I cannot skip
They won't let me play games
Or come along on their trip
Cause I'm just a lonely moped
Living in a bipedal world

I don't want to be a lonely moped
Living in a bipedal world
I'm living
Don't want to be living
Why am I living
In a bipedal world?
