Magic Quarket Ride

Opening song, based on "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf

The idea behind this changes the plot somewhat, but not in a way that screws anything really.

Basically, the opening titles would happen, then we'd have a scene in which the scientist unveils the quark-making machine and the jurassic quark. The main scientist then gets one of the other scientists to go into the quark chamber and investigate. Its in this song that they're pushed into touching the quark, and thus we discover that quarks duplicate themselves by touching people (this can be explained in the next sketch, but the process occurs in this one).

Also, this is a nice set up for the main scientist to be portrayed as a bit of a bastard who we'll enjoy seeing being destroyed by his own creation :D.

Biggest issue with this song is that it ends with a fade-out, I'll have to talk to alvin and see if thats fixable (I'm sure it is).


I like to dream yes, yes,

right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away


Last night I held Aladdin's lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away


(instrumental)



Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free


 

Scientist:

I like to dream yes, yes

Come and see my quark machine

It can make quarks that are massive in might

Building blocks of all in sight

There's one, right there, it is very strange and rare


Well, you don't know what we could find

Why don't you help me see little girl

Understand that quark confined

We don't know what we could see

When you are in there with a quark

Will it die or will it spark?

Don't you hide girl

Go inside girl

Time to go investigate


Girl (during this verse she opens the door and steps through):







Quark: Well, you don't know what you could find

Why don't you touch my hand little girl

See what happens when combined

Scientist: Well, you don't know what we could see

Why don't you touch that quark over there

So that we can watch and stare

All three: Close your eyes girl

Hands will rise girl

Let (y)our fingers touch today


(instrumental as the girl gets quarkified, atom dance goes here!)


Scientist:

Well, we now know what we did find

When the quark touched that little girl

In the lab that is behind

Well, we now know what we can see

Quarks multiply themselves by touch

Touching should be stopped as such
