So I had this crazy idea a few weeks ago: what if I rewrote The Lion King's "Be Prepared" to fit King Ghidorah as he takes command of Earth's Titans?
Crazy, I know, but I went and did it. Wrote up the lyrics, anyway. Well, by that I mean I just tweaked a few things here and there to make it fit better, but I did it.
Well, anyway, here's what I have.
Ghidorah: (spoken) We never thought the Titans essential. They're crude and unspeakably plain. But maybe they've a glimmer of potential, If allied to our vision and brains.
(singing) Gojira is yesterday's message A clapped out, distracted regime Whose failings undoubtedly presage The need for a different dream
Yes, human opinions are changing Which means that us Titans must, too Our vision is clear and wide-ranging And even encompasses you
So prepare for the chance of a lifetime Be prepared for sensational news A shining new era Is tiptoeing nearer
Behemoth: And where do we feature?
Ghidorah: Just listen to teacher We know it sounds sordid But you'll be rewarded When at last we are given our dues And injustice deliciously squared Be prepared!
Scylla: (spoken) Yeah! Be prepared! Yeah-heh! We'll be prepared! Heh! For what?
Ghidorah: (spoken) For the death of the king.
Rodan: (spoken) Why? Is he sick?
Ghidorah: (spoken) No, fool. We're going to kill him. And Mothra, too.
Rodan: (spoken) Great idea! Who needs a king?
Rodan and Scylla: No king! No king! La, la, la, la, la, la!
Ghidorah: (spoken) Idiots! There will be a king!
Behemoth: (spoken) But you said-
Ghidorah: (spoken) We will be king! Stick with us, and this world will belong to the Titans once again!
Rodan, Methuselah, Behemoth, and Scylla: (spoken) Yay! All right! All right! Long live the king!
Titans: (spoken) Long live the king! Long live the king! It's great that we'll soon be connected With a king who'll be all-time adored.
Ghidorah: Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected To take certain duties on board The future is littered with prizes And though there may be some fuss The point that we must emphasize is… YOU WON’T GET A GLIMPSE WITHOUT US!
So prepare for the coup of the century Be prepared for the murkiest scam Meticulous planning Tenacity spanning Our chaotic evil Is simply why we shall Be king undisputed Respected, saluted And seen for the god that we are!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared!
All:
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
