Yeah, they had me sing 'Our Freedom,' I hadn't sung that since primary school.

They had me read the Delores Umbridge part. Also one of the portraits.

Oh, yeah. The twins used to change up the words on that one! And it would make Percy so cross. We were just talking about it again, because they were threatening to sing it while we were queuing to see the body. Percy was fuming!

They made me sing the first verse of 'We Shall Rise'. For the audition, I mean. And my voice cracked right at the part that goes up just before the chorus starts.

That's probably why they thought I could do the cat!

The twins've done new words for 'One Nation, Strong and Pure', too. You should ask them about those.

Heh.

Okay, I'll bite. My mum told me the original words once, the 'God Save the Queen' version, but I don't actually remember any of them. What did the twins write? Does it still have the word 'puissant' in it?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Oh, yeah, I'd heard that about the Muggles using the same tune for a song about their queen. Don't why, actually. It's not that great a tune. But, yeah, it totally does say 'puissant'! When they taught us that, I remember the teacher asking if any of us knew what that word means, and of course, none of us did.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Bloody hell, now that stupid song is in my head and I can't get it out.

I'm going to write all the lyrics and try to stick it in YOUR head, you know that's how you get a song out of your head, right? you get it stuck in someone else's?

One nation, strong and pure
With magic shall endure
Long may we reign.
Sign of most puissant pow'r
Ever to grow and flow'r
Now and in every hour,
Long may we reign.

I thought it was 'pleasant' power when I first heard it. Puissant? Who uses words like that?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Oi! No fair!

It's not going to work, though.

'Cause I'm singing,

Tra-la-la-boom-dee-aye
Wind blew your pants away!
And while you wondered where,
It blew off all your hair!

That's how you get a song out of your head! Put a new one in!!!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_gredforge]

We like our version better:

The scent of strong manure
In your pants shall endure.
Long may it stain.
Smell of most puissant pow'r,
The stink shall grow and sour,
Though you may wash or show'r:
Long may it stain.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_lee]

Wicked. I hadn't heard you lot sing that one yet.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_gredforge]

Added bonus: It makes Big Head Boy turn positively green every time we do.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Yeah. He doesn't like songs about pants.

Can't think why.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Now that?

That's poetry and no fib.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_terry]

Whoa. That's--uh--that's--

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_terry]

I had to put down my journal and stuff my fist in my mouth. And the Headmistress just looked over her glasses at me the way she does and said, "Just why are you making those extraordinarily peculiar sounds?"

I had to tell her I got a frog in my throat.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_gredforge]

You need to laugh more often, Professor. If you do, she'll eventually recognise the sound for what it is.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

That's...

That's the most juvenile thing I think I've ever heard.

It also made me almost spit tea all over my desk from laughing. It's a good thing Milli and Daphne are both out right now or they'd want to know what was so funny and I couldn't very well tell them, could I?

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Everyone will think you're so very loyal when you're walking down the corridors humming this all day tomorrow!

See if you don't.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_neville]

I'd hum it along with you, Sally-Anne, except I'm not sure I could do it without breaking up laughing. And that might sort of give the wrong impression.
