Over at
holmesverse, there's a challenge to take a song and rewrite the lyrics to make it fit for Sherlock.
You get extra points for singing your new version. 8D
I didn't have an instrumental track to stick in the background, unfortunately, so. I apologize, but my track is low, so you'll have to keep the youtube music preeeetty quiet.
EDIT: Due to
six_two_four's extreme kindness and badassery, I now have a mixed version with the karaoke and singing together. T_______T And since there's been some issues with people listening through audioboo, I uploaded to soundcloud. Hopefully that will work better ♥
A Case! by rosivan by
rosivanlex To the tune of
'What's this' from Nightmare Before Christmas.
A case? A case!
There's clues everywhere
A case!
And suspects over there
A case!
Oh, don't believe their lies
They're always scheming
Wake up, John, life isn't fair
A case!
A case! What's this?
There's something very wrong
This case-
Please try to keep along
This case -
Shall I explain it?
Things that have gone missing
Like the wire for the fishing
And the cat, always hissing
Do you see?
What's this!
There are handprints on the window here
and also on the ledge
Look, there is a footprint
From where he stepped down in the hedge
Some fabric from his trouser
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
A careless step by the camera
He didn't see inside
Oh, John
This case?
Why did they bother me? Lestrade!
Why did you call me here? Easy!
Even for pedestrians like you!
Oh you're only boring me
With- WAIT!
What's this?
In here, they've got a secret door, how queer
And who would ever see?
But why?
They're covering it with Chinese tapestries
Depicting ancient dynasties
Stolen gold in each one,
Now correct me if I'm wrong
It looks like crime
It looks like fun
Could it be I got my wish?
A case!
Oh my, what now?
Another secret door
But look, a staircase underneath
No light, and no way to see down in the dark,
I know you hate this part, but let's press on, John
We almost have them now, John
What's this?
The paintings are all missing
And the doorknobs can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Wired semtex all around
Go back, it is a trap
Clever thief who'd knew I'd find the lair
The smell of gasoline
Is absolutely everywhere
The sound, a spark
We really have to go, and John
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside craves adreneline rush
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Can I keep it for my own
And take it home
And take it home
Wait what is this that I've found?
What is this?
Moriarty?
