King Iofur's Song

I wrote this on an impulse. Basically, this is the song of King Iofur Raknison. Imagine Iofur breaking out into song when Lyra tells him she's a daemon and wants to be his daemon. If The Golden Compass were a musical, and Disney's: The Jungle Book never happened, this is what might have happened. Enjoy.



King Iofur's Song


(Parody of I Wanna Be Like You)


Now, I'm the mightiest king of all
The ice-world's VIP
I've reached the top, and had to stop
And that's what's been bothering me

I wanna be a human, Lyra
And stroll right in to town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of cub'n around!

Oh, Oo-be-doo!
I wanna be like you!
I wanna walk like you,
Talk like you too!
You'll see it's true:
A bear like me
Can learn to be human too!

Now, don't try to fool me, Lyra
I've made a deal with you
What I desire is daemon fire
to make my dream come true!

Now, give me your secret, Lyra
C'mon, tell me what to do!
Give me a clue of what I must do
So I can acquire you!

Oh, Oo-be-doo!
I wanna be like you!
I wanna walk like you,
Talk like you too!
You'll see it's true:
A bear like me
Can learn to be human too!

Yeah, you!
I wanna be like you!
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you too!
You'll see it's true:
Someone like me
Can learn to be someone like me!
I can learn to be someone like you!
I can learn to be someone like me!

Yeah, man!




EDIT: You know, a comment or two would be nice...

Oh wait, that was a joke, wasn't it?

I really like this, Blizzaga! It would be hilarious if Iofur actually sang this (Can bears sing, by the way? I've never heard Iorek or any other bear sing.). If they ever make The Golden Compass into a musical (Unlikely), they HAVE to use this song.

Yaknow, that doesn't really mean much. I never heard Farder Coram, John Faa or any of the other Gyptians sing either, but I'm sure they could. If these bears can walk, talk, reforge legendary, fabric-of-the-universe-piercing blades and travel by boat from one pole to the other, they can probably sing ;P

Yeah, but I always imagined the bears having deep, monotone voices. I suppose they could sing a barratone maybe, but I can't see them singing upbeat. But eh, that's just me.

LOL

Really? I imagined Iofur as the "Shirley Bearsey" type...
