Another of my off-the-wall DBZ/music related posts...

(well, this was meant for prince_veggie, but I neglected to click which journal so you guys get it too)

I was just listening to Into the Woods and was reminded of this. What does a Broadway musical have to do with Saiyan royalty, you ask?

Years ago, when I first got interested in DBZ, I remember finding a fansite called Pork n' Senzu Beans. It had some pretty funny stories on it - one of which was a bit of reworked Broadway, with Goku and Vejita cast as the princes in Into the Woods and singing "Agony" about their respective mates, who appear and scream at them at the appropriate moments. Since I'm also a huge Stephen Sondheim fan as well, this just had me in stitches.


(Prince #1 -ie .Cinderella's Prince. Prince #2 - Rapunzel's prince. I don't remember who was supposed to be who. May beDefinitely OOC)

Prince #1:
Did I abuse her
Or show her disdain?
Why does she run from me?
If I should lose her
How shall I regain
The heart she has won from me?

Agony!
Beyond power of speech,
When the one thing you want
Is the one thing that’s out of your reach.

Prince #2
High in her tower
She sits by the hour
Maintaining her hair.
Blithe and becoming
And frequently humming
A light-hearted air:
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah

Agony!
Far more painful that yours;
When you know she would go with you
If there only were doors.

Both
Agony!
Oh, the tortures they teach!

Prince #2
What’s as intriguing –

Prince #1
Or half so fatiguing—

Both
As what’s out of reach?

Prince #1
Am I not sensitive,
Clever,
Well-mannered,
Considerate,
Passionate,
Charming,
As kind as I’m handsome
And heir to a throne?

Prince #2
You are everything maidens could wish for!

Prince #1
Then why no-?

Prince #2
Do I know?

Prince #1
The girl must be mad!

Prince #2
You know nothing of madness
Till you’re climbing her hair
And you see her up there
As you’re nearing her,
All the while hearing her;
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah

Both
Agony!

Prince #1
Misery!

Prince #2
Woe!

Both
Though it’s different for each.

Prince #1
Always ten steps behind—

Prince #2
Always ten feet below—

Both
And she’s just out of reach.
Agony
That can cut like a knife!

I must have her to wife.


It also had a story from our dear Prince's POV - an essay required for an anger management course Bulma made him take, as well as a bunch of other funny stories.

I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to have a look at those again. Unfortunately, this site seems to have disappeared and I can't remember titles or the author's name. Does anyone happen to know if the author posted those anywhere else?
