The Lyrics
Originally submitted as "August Bohemian Rhapsody" I apologize if the rhymes' WAY off. I'm tone deaf. Anyway, this is a parody of the famous song Bohemian Rhapsody played to the events in the movie "August Rush". So for those with an intention to watch, back off now. For those who already did watch that movie or won't watch a cheesefest like that anyway, go ahead and read. SPOILER WARNING: Watch at your own risk. And another apology for the duplicate file; I’m a sucker for perfection and apparently, the first time I submitted it, there were a lot of typos (a tendency on my part) and a line that was rather inappropriate as it mentioned “part of the act, but not all of it” which, owing to the nature of the movie which the song is being parodied, may not be so pleasant or appropriate. So I used Irish slang instead, since the some of the characters in the movie were Irish.
AUDIENCE
This isn't real life
Just someone's fantasy
One feaked up night out
Bore a child that's a prodigy
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
LOUIS
I'm just a front man
She’s just that in to me
MARSHALL
Bro, it's easy come, easy go
Little feak, there she goes
LOUIS
Any way the notes play
Lyla's all that matters to me... to me...
MR. NOVACEK
Lyla, my time has come
Sent your baby far away
Made you think he pass'd away
Lyla! Life had just been kind.
And there you go to throw it all away
LOUIS
Lyla, oooh,
MR. NOVACEK
Didn't mean to make you cry
LOUIS
Should you come back I will give you my number

Wind chimes clang above my bed
I still hear them in my head.

Goodbye San Fransisco/Dear old Daddy
I've got to go
Gotta find that girl/boy who took my heart away...

Lyla, wooo

Interesting and creative... inject more humor and you'll bowl me over more than a (meaty) fistful of Oxycontins!
Damn, I went through all that trouble to get it reposted, and still I have the same mistake since last time. It's supposed to be a "Louis/Lyla" in that scene where Louis apparently sings "Will she even bother/My baby's all that matters". Also, notice that there's no "magnifico..." part in the lines before the trial.
