Subject: [OTL]: [Filk: Jean, Maddie] The Ballad of Jean and Maddie Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 02:48:59 -0700 (PDT) From: Lyssie Sinclair Original tune: "The Homecoming Queen Has Got a Gun" by Julie Brown. You can prolly find it on one of the Dr. Demento albums. Disclaimer: Jean, Scott, Maddie, Logan, Sinny and Chris Claremont all belong to Marvel or themselves (you pick which). No clones were harmed in the making of this filk, though a few people at the Science Center gave me extremely off looks when I mumbled things like, "Scott married Maddie 'cause she looked like Jean." under my breath. Also, this got exceedingly sillier and any mischaracterisation, misinterpretations and miscontruations are my own fault. "The Ballad of Jean and Maddie" On a trip to the moon to save the world The whole team was there--it was totally cool When they almost died on the way back to the earth Our best girl Jeannie got the Phoenix Force The bird was so golden, the power sky-high Healing the Crystal of the M'Krann Back on Earth, she's going semi-schizo Does she love Scott or Logan? You know like one of those soaps? I mean, definitely a love triangle. {Hellfire} Dazzler was found, Kitty rescued herself Emma was beaten and Jean seemed more powerful, or something They infiltrated the Hellfire Club And then were introduced to fiendish plots "Oh my God! Wyngarde unveiled his new Black Queen!" Everybody run Dark Phoenix has begun Everybody run Dark Phoenix has begun Jeannie's smiling in passionate glee Darkness consuming every inch of her being Oh, she just slapped Ro in the face with her whip! Oh no, Scott's fallen on the floor without a breath The redhead's on a killing spree Somebody try reason--or is it not to be? Now that she's triumphed over the X Is she really turning on Wyngarde? Everybody fight, at the Hellfire Club tonight Everydody fight, at the Hellfire Club tonight {Oh Jeannie, we've made such a mess Of your psyche in its twistedness} A fight in Central Park now proves Phoenix more than a match for our heroes--oh dear, they've lost The Shi'ar, in space, unable to stop her She destroys a planet, consumes a star "Professor Xavier, give us Jean Grey, the price of an inhabited world is death." A fight on the moon proceeds, as the X-Men Fight valiantly for their friend's life One by one defeated, till only two are left Her power flares and she sacrifices it all Mourn for our loss, Jean Grey has died Mourn for the loss, Jean Grey has died {Suicide instead of our lives Noble though it be, we'll never realise} While flying he met her, this Madelyne Pryor Then wedding bells rang and sea monsters attacked Was she Jean or was it all Wyngarde's plot to wreck? Proved against Wynnie, they left all ecstatic A couple months later A spat broke out Then things were revealed A child was born And then Jean came back, fighting her fear It was then I knew, Inferno was near So, like, Jean was found in this coccoon in Jamaica Bay And, Maddie she went totally bonkers and proceeded to lay-- Some demon and Sinister Sinister? Well, like, who's Sinister? Answer me, Maddie! Who's Sinister? Do any of you X-people know who Sinister is? Are you Sinister? There was this guy named Sinister, but he was a total geek and always had clones in his lab Answer me, Chris, who's Sinister? Oh, God this is like the whole Rachel thing You know where we don't find out who she is until she calls Jean "Mom"? And now we'll never know who her father is 'Cause, like, Claremont has left The clone has died, we're all so real surprised The clone has ressurected, and now more fun and games ... End as the song trails off... hugs, Ana === 'I like to read a murder mystery. I like to know the killer isn't me...'--Erasure, I Love to Hate You. http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/LysAna/lfr.htm
