047- I'm in the mood to help you, dude. You ain't never had a friend like me.

[Contrary to what the title of this entry says, Gabriel's not gonna be singing that song because I still have PSTD from the last time I wrote a song parody. He is, however, on camera, and golf clapping at the whole Barge and grinning like a maniac. He finds you all so very entertaining.]

Bravo, gang. Bravo.

Are you enjoying yourself?

[painhumbles]

Other people making complete asses outta themselves because they can't shut off their communicators when the music hits 'em?

Yeeep. I'd say this flood definitely ranks.

[notarrowette]

It does seem like your kind of thing. Does that mean I'm not going to get serenaded?

[painhumbles]

I think the last port ran me out of deep, dark secrets I could reveal through song. Sorry.

[notarrowette]

All of them? Come on Gabriel, there must be something you've been dying to get off your chest.

[painhumbles]

Please. With the way I keep things buried? If I wanted 'em off my chest, I'd be in a support group.

[OH BUT LOOK. THERE'S MUSIC SWELLING. COULD IT BE? COULD THERE BE SOMETHING ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

LET'S WATCH.]

....Not now.

[GABRIEL USED VEHEMENT PROTEST. IT WAS UNAFFECTIVE AGAINST THE FLOOD.]

[notarrowette]

...You were saying?

[painhumbles]

[Gabriel normally has a singing voice that would cause pop stars to hang themselves. Now... Now he's suddenly got a really nice voice.]

"If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
No chick is worth the aggravation.
That's ancient history
Been there- done that."

[AND THIS IS FOLLOWED BY A GROAN OF ANGUISH. ANYTHING BUT DISNEY.]

[notarrowette]

[Cissie is... trying so very, very hard not to laugh. She is behaving! Or trying to.]

I don't know that I would have pegged you for the Disney type.

[painhumbles]

[GLARE.]

I'm not.

[notarrowette]

Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

[painhumbles]

[BUT THE INTERRUPTING WAS... Dammit, Cissie.]

"No chance, no way.
I won't say it- no, no."

[notarrowette]

I think this is the part where I'm supposed to tell you you're in denial.

[painhumbles]

I'm not in de-[OH I'M SORRY, THAT WASN'T IN THE FORM OF A SONG LYRIC.]

"It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in... [He coughs the last word so that it's completely indistinguishable from an actual word. Not that anyone who knows Disney doesn't know what word goes there. It's the principle.

And oh, it's going further. And he's actually getting into it AGAINST HIS WILL.]

"I thought my heart had learned it's lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming, 'Get a grip, Gabe.'
Unless you're dying to tear your heart out."

[He clamps his hands over his ears, like by not hearing the music, he'll be able to make it stop.]

Stop helping it.

[notarrowette]

[Cissie holds her hands up, looking actually sympathetic!]

Sorry. Stopping. But I don't think there was much left anyway.

[painhumbles]

[FACEPALM]

Leeeet's just forget that ever happened. Okay?
