They want to write a song together. Write Their Song – This prompt may be a poetic form. *** Sung to the Tune of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" Mara has a playful and sultry way of singing this especially the opening segment where she pets Andre as he plays his trumpet. You like to climb lots of trees. You like to swing in the breeze. When Bananas are found. You leave their peels on the ground. You have good friends in the zoo. They all go OO OO OO OO Ape or Chimpanzee They are like your family. Andre's Trumpet solo: Bada Bada Bada Bum Bum Ba Dada Dada Dada Bum Bum Ba Bada Bada Bada Bum Bum Ba Dada dada Da!!

You like to swing in the breeze. When Bananas are found. You leave their peels on the ground. You have good friends in the zoo. They all go OO OO OO OO Ape or Chimpanzee They are like your family. Andre's Trumpet solo but this time he crescendos louder at the end for a powerful effect: Bada Bada Bada Bum Bum Ba Dada Dada Dada Bum Bum Ba Bada Bada Bada Bum Bum Ba Dada dada Dah!!

| Author's Note: This was written March Musical Monkey Madness see: "Note: March Musical Monkey Madness Blogging Prompt..." Prompt: Your Muse and Andre have decided to collaborate. They want to write a song together. Tell us why they decided to collaborate. *** Like an actress, my personal muse tends to take a lot of different forms. She chooses whatever helps to inspire me. For the purpose of this particular blogging challenge, she has opted for the role of a chanteuse similar to Ella Fitzgerald or Jessica Rabbit. The role is actually perfect for her because it shows off her singing talents. In Nightclub Announcer fashion "Ladies and Gentleman... Please welcome to the stage... Miss Maraschino Yamanaka!!" Character Profile Name Maraschino Yamanaka Nickname: Mara (which almost everyone prefers to call her.) Ethnicity: Asian American (Her father is Japanese and her mother is Irish American). Hair Color: Blonde Eye Color: Light Blue Height: 5' 5" Weight: 108 lbs Occupation: Night Club Jazz Singer Style: When she performs Mara tends to wear Elegant 1950's dresses. Personality: Playful but a little bit fiery. Andre and Mara met performing in the same Jazz Club... Jungle Supernova. The Florida Keys had performed at a concert earlier and were hanging out at the Club afterwards that night. They were enjoying Banana shakes at the bar when the club's owner asked Andre if he could fill in for the Club's usual trumpeter who called in sick that day. Being the kind and helpful monkey that he was Andre graciously agreed to help. Mara was headlining at the club that night so Andre joined Mara's performance and his expressive trumpeting complemented Mara's sultry voice nicely. The two of them brought the house down. They were so successful that they wound partnering up often and they performed a lot of duets together as well as quite a couple of Hit singles. 302 Words |
