Within Temptation morphs into filkers I know and love

[unclechristo]

Whenever I hear this song or see the video
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=reGlno9aUpw
there is an alternate strand in my mind that that hears tattercoats singing it. (except that tattercoats would do it better)

plus when I see it done live
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bXShWJSv7OU
or
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UfzSmaOGzrU
my alternate mind really imagines tattercoats singing it plus shaven headed GK and fleetfootmike  on bass and guitar, and micktim  on the drums (in a wig on the 2nd live vid) and Ookla's Adam on keys. Plus I would play a real tin whistle instead of the sampled one, plus we'd get little_cinnamon  replacing the fake cello. - (I hate fake flutes & cellos) - plus it looks like we need another electric guitarist - OOkla's Rand or Jeff Bohnhoff can fight it out for that place.

I also imagine us playing without a volume sensitive power cut-off device in the venue :-)

I can also now imagine stevieannie  and bardling sharing the lead singing role if tattercoats  had clashing dates

then we can look to recreate this Ice Queen video :-) - a doddle.

 this is what happens to my brain when I don't get my coffee in the morning :-)

Headbanging in a ballgown! I love it!

I don't want to return to my reality. Yours is more fun :-D

ha! - i just added that I could see you or bardling taking the lead singer roll if tattercoats had clashing dates :-)

Do you think you could fit in a Within Temptation covers band on top of Fleetfoot Mike? (and all the rest) :-) If so just dont get the rolls confused. :-) i dunno tho...

I think bardling and I should don ballgowns and sway in the background in an artistic fashion. Maybe wave our arms around if Tattercoats gets tired halfway through the song...

Oooh!

We could do the sampled vocalise harmonies for real, how 'bout that? :)
I'm not so sure about the arm waving/clapping though... I think I'd rather dance, perhaps. But yeah, singing & headbanging in a ballgown? I'd take that reality over mine right now, too. :)
(Hm... can we do different colours for the dresses though, for Mother Earth? I even like the shorter dress-with-boots, too, although ballgowns would be more fun!)

You know, now that you say it, yeah, it WOULD suit her voice very well.

One-shot at the filkcon, anyone? :D

(...only half-joking...) :)

Boy, that's really not a stretch to imagine at all, is it?

[tattercoats.livejournal.com]

I have the ballgown already; I hadn't found a reason to wear it onstage yet... hee.

Why not a 'Kindly Ones' three-way shared lead?

OK, girls, I have ballgowns in red or green.

Pick your colour.
