timepiececlock: (Frodo- boatload of manly responsibility)
Today I had the overwhleming desire to make a Fruits Basket vid to the E.L.O. song "Mr. Blue Sky."

Though it's kinda my parent's generation of music, it's a such a funky, cheerful song, with a really good beat. The kind that makes you want to clap. And somehow I think it'd suit the mood and characters of FB pretty well. The Delgados version is pretty fun too (::thanks the kind soul that put that one up for downloading::) but for FB I'm thinking the original works better.

Here's some lyrics for fun:

Electric Light Orchestra, Mr. Blue Sky

Sun is shinin' in the sky,
there ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
and don't you know
it's a beautiful new day. Hey-ey.

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
in the city
on the streets where once was pity,
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today. Hey-ey.

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
you had to hide away
for so long, so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face,
welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'
and today
is the day we've waited for

Hey there Mr. Blue,
we're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
everybody smiles at you

Mr. Blue you did it right,
but soon comes Mr. Night
Creepin' over,
now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
you had to hide away
for so long
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue [sky]
We're so pleased to be with you [sky]
Look around see what you do, [sky]
well everybody smiles at you



:g: I'm already planning it in my head. Too bad finals are in two weeks and I have reports due and other stuff.

"Hey you with the pretty face," ... could so be Yuki. And Mr. Blue Sky could be Kyou.... "You had to hide away." Mr. Night could be Akito. And the cheerful singer/speaker could be Tohru. Plus there's shots of sunny days and rain too, and stuff. And the weird electronica parts could be Hana. And there could be funny shots of the Prince Yuki fan club.

It'd be cool. And I already have most of the source stuff on CDs.

Damn! Now I'm getting excited.


*Edit: Also, some might be curious to know that this is the song that plays in the trailer for the new Jim Carrey / Kate Winslet movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Okay. I give in. I want to start making a music a video. [livejournal.com profile] saava, the day you never thought you'd see has come!

I've got the source material, I've got the song, I've sort of got a plan.

Of course, I don't at all have the time. But if I don't start now, with this, I'm never going to get the gumption to start one.

So, tell me... what's a good program that I can download from a website or Kazaa to make music videos?

For a beginner! Be gentle, it's my first time. ::batts eyes::
