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

or

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 :-)

We now return you to yourown reality

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!)
