Who Wants To Hear A Song?

crossover_chick-M: . . . You wrote a song???-
Well, something akin to a song. On the filkish side, I would say. Anyway, I was inspired by way too much listening to my favorite song from "Commentary: The Musical!" on Dr. Horrible. While thinking about how Victor Van Dort here also comes from a musical universe.
-TTV: I beg your pardon? There's only four songs in the movie.-
Yeah. Please explain why your parents felt the need to SING their hopes and dreams for the marriage.
-TTV: . . . . *completely baffled/stunned expression*-
*patpats* Exactly. Now, other people have done songs for Victor and Victoria to sing in the fanfic arena, so I decided to take a stab at a Victor song.
Using a tune from "Commentary: The Musical!"
Yes.
So, yeah, here's the result. For reference purposes, here's the song I used: Neil's Turn
Victor Panics (To the tune of “Neil’s Turn”)
Victor: Are they all gone?
Is it me now?
No more parents to whine
Now the foyer’s all mine!
No more Mother,
With her arrogance,
Didn’t follow the line
I just need a little time.
I can just sit here and play,
At this piano I’ll stay,
And it’ll be – fineeee. . . .
I’m just one man,
Getting married,
Our parents arranged the match,
We haven’t spoken yet!
Oh, Miss Everglot,
Will I like you?
Will you be like your mother?
Oh, that makes me fret!
Why can’t I do as I please?
Single I was content to be,
I was – seeeettt. . . .
I don’t want to be here
This place fills me with fear
Want to run away now
But it would end in tears
Have to face up to it
Though it makes me feel queer
Have to try to be the man
My parents tried to rear. . . .
I’ll try some charm,
(“You look quite lovely today.”)
Can’t be any harm,
(“I’m sure we’ll get along just fine.”)
A good gentleman,
Is this really my plan?
(Missing Rap section, because I had no idea how to adapt that)
Oh, I’m nervous,
This is painful,
The rehearsal is nigh
And I’ve got butterflies
The Everglots
Will be watching
And I hope all goes well
In front of Pastor Galswells. . . .
Pastor Galswells –
He rather scares me –
And I’m not sure I know my lines –
If – if someone c-could give me a hint, that would fine!
. . .N-no, no, I know them!
With this hand I will –
I will – I will –
I don’t bloody know!
I’m going to mess this up!
Just like I do everything!
Oh, goodness, I feel so lost and alone!
And what’s with all these chords?
Why am I playing all these weird chords?!
Get me out of here!
I don’t want to get married!
I don’t want to be engaged!
I want to be back home!
I’m terrified here!
Can’t I stay a bachelor?!
Just stay aloneeeee!
The meter's not perfect, I know, and I had to skip a section, but I hope it's still amusing.
-TTV: *facepalm*-
-M2: I dunno, seems pretty accurate to me.-
-TTV: *glare* I wasn't that -- okay, I can't say that with a straight face. I'm just glad I wasn't compelled to sing about it.-
You're -- or, more accurately, DGVictor is -- also lucky I'm kind of shit at writing songs, otherwise I might have been evil in the musebox.
