Evil Filk Ideas

Writing Londo’s entry for this week’s theatrical_muse challenge, I suddenly got this image of him singing Don’t Cry For Me, Argentina My Centauri. Then I thought the Waltz for Eva and Che would work equally well for Londo and G’Kar in the second or early third season. And then then my silly filking muse told me that this was all wrong, that Delenn was Evita, not Londo.

“Just think,” she whispered. “A cynical libretto writer from the later Third Age. Delenn as Eva, Sheridan as Peron, Neroon as Che, Anna Sheridan as Peron’s mistress… it would work.

Pondering this insanity further, I came to the conclusion it wouldn’t work for either Delenn or Londo, but couldn’t resist filking two songs from Evita for each. Sometimes, only minimal changes were required.


I’ll Be Surprisingly Good For You ( Duet between Delenn and Sheridan )

And so forth, and so on. Then we get to the reaction on Minbar and on Earth:

( Sheridan's Latest Flame )

So much for Delenn as Evita. Meanwhile, my original inspiration, i.e. Londo standing on the balcony of the Casa Rosada the Royal Palace:

( Don't Cry For Me, My Centauri )

Which would presumably be the musical version of his holographic speech in season 5. Back to season 2, or maybe season 3’s Convictions, specifically, Londo and G’Kar trapped in the transport tube:

( Waltz for Londo and G'Kar )

And now I’ll have Andrew Llyod Webber tunes in my head for the rest of the day. Great Maker.
