Your Laugh For the Day

I saw this at Little Green Footballs and had a really good laugh.

In order to enjoy it, you must get out your mental encyclopedia on musicals. An excerpt from "Les Risibles":

ACT III

Streets of Paris. The toughs strut along the streets of the banlieu coming their hair, carrying bottles of gasoline.

TARIQ
How about this one guys?
KHALIL
That rusty hunk of junk? It’ll never make the TV news!
HASSAN (excitedly)
Why… this car is automatic!

It's systematic!

It’s flambee-matic!

Why… it's a greased Peugeot!

TOUGHS CHORUS
We'll get some Molotov cocktails and some 2 euro Bics oh yeah
(Keep talking whoa keep talking)
Start a fire burnin’ like a pair of cheater slicks oh yeah!
(I'll get the petrol I'll kill to get the petro)
With a thunderous sound it’s gonna burn to the ground!
It’s gonna explode
by the side of the road,
a greased Peugeot!
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!


I promise, the rest will make you ROFLMAO.

Update: I know why it failed...he's missing a love song. You can't have a good musical without a romance and a love song.

As they say...working.

Update: Opening song before the curtain rises

I saw my problems and I'll see the light
We got a jihad thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go too far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - jihad is the word
They think our anger is just a growin' pain
Why don't they understand?
It's just a cryin' shame
Their lips are lyin', only Allah is real
We gotta fight right now, we got to be what we feel - jihad is the word
Chorus: (Jihad is the word, is the word that you heard)
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
France is the time, is the place, is the motion
Jihad is the way we are feeling

We take the pressure, and we throw away
conventionality, belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - Jihad is the word

Chorus: (Jihad is the word, is the word that you heard)
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
France is the time, is the place, is the motion
Jihad is the way we are feeling

This is a life of illusion,
a life of control Mixed with confusion - what're we doin' here?

We take the pressure, and we throw away
conventionality, belongs to yesterday

There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are - jihad is the word

Chorus: (Jihad is the word, is the word that you heard)
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
France is the time, is the place, is the motion
Jihad is the way we are feeling

(Jihad is the word, is the word, is the word)

Stand by for the love song
