What Ifs #5: Can’t Stop the Music

Odds are you’ve seen at least one musical or musical number. They’re fun, spontaneous, and logically they pretty much make absolutely no sense whatsoever, but we tend to love them anyway. Even if you try to avoid them these little gems tend to make their way into some unlikely programs. This lead me to my current what if.


The spirits of musicals can’t be stopped! To appease them you have to choose one show or game to get its own dedicated musical episode or level. Bonus geek points if you can either come up with a crazy enough scenario for the musicals to happen or even imagine some of the things the characters could sing about.


for me I think I’d pick Doctor Who to receive its own musical episode. The Tardis crew would land on a planet or galactic entertainment center where everyone speaks in song and they find themselves getting dragged along by the crazy choreography and music. And just to make the entire thing more epic, the enemies could be the cybermen who spend the episode singing with synchronized auto-tune voices and electronic music in the background.
