Village Nights

I've decided the Village is missing something. A soul. No I kid. The Village is missing perhaps the greatest cultural barometer of the twenty first century; a cultural barometer so huge it signals that indeed a place has arrived in the mass consciousness of society. What is this barometer you may ask? A Laguna Beach reality TV show. However, seeing as that apparently isn't going to happen for a bevy of reasons - I've decided the Village needs its own rock opera and who better then the bard of the Village to pen said rock opera?

I'm figuring the story will be about a girl from East of Spadina macking a boy from West of Spadina. What will the neighbours say? Shunda indeed.

I've been busy at work and have already written the first song. It's to the tune of Summer Loving, from Grease.

[Benji]
Village loving had me a blast

[Jessica]
Village loving happened so fast

[Benji]
I met a JAP mishugenah for me

[Jessica]
Met a boy cute as can be

[Both]
Village days drifting away, to oh oh the Village nights

[YIDS]
Well-a well-a well-a huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?

[JAPS]
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a starbucks card?

[Benji]
She cruised by me, sipping her latte

[Jessica]
He ran by me, wearing some Louis

[Benji]
I saved her Gucci, it nearly broke

[Jessica]
He showed off, smokin some dope

[Both]
Village sun, something's begun, but oh oh the Village nights

[JAPS]
Well-a well-a well-a huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at her curls?

[YIDS]
Tell me more, tell me more
Like can she bring her girls?

[Benji]
Took her out to the Village Freeze

[Jessica]
We went strolling, life seemed a breeze

[Jessica]
We made out at Davids by Day

[Benji]
We stayed up at the Hope Street Cafe

[Both]
Village fling, don't mean a thing, but oh oh the Village nights

[YIDS]
Well-a well-a well-a huh
Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag

[JAPS]
Tell me more, tell me more
Cause he sounds like a drag

[Jessica]
He got friendly, bought me a frap

[Benji]
She got friendly with her hand in my lap

[Jessica]
He was sweet just graduated from CHAT

[Benji]
Well she was good, not your typical JAP

[Both]
Villave heat, boy and girl meet, but oh oh the Village nights

[JAPS]
Tell me more, tell me more
How much Gucci did he own?

[YIDS]
Tell me more, tell me more
Was her hair in a messy bun?

[Jessica]
It turned colder - she went to Camp Gesher

[Benji]
So I told her we'd still be Beshert

[Jessica]
Then we made our true love vow

[Benji]
Wonder what she's doing now

[Both]
Village dreams ripped at the seams, but oh those Village nights

[All]
Tell me more, tell me more
