Title: The Diesel-Driven Eight Dimensional Jet Car Blues
Pairing: Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers / Crime and the Forces of Evil
Author: Dara Korra'ti / solarbird
Rating: PG at most
Word Count: n/a
Time: 3m14s
Summary: Remember that first song the Hong Kong Cavaliers start to do at Artie's Artery, the one they don't finish because Penny is crying? Remember that lyrics appeared a few weeks ago? Remember that there was a series of concerts recently to keep Artie's open? Some of those featured the Hong Kong Cavaliers sharing the stage with other bands. And this could be called a bootleg.

I of course have no idea where this came from. Noooooo idea at all. But I do know that Buckaroo Banzai is on lead guitar and coronet; Perfect Tommy and Pinky Caruthers are on rhythm guitar and bass, respectively; Reno is doing some horn work, but I'm not sure who the other trumpeter is at the end. For the guest band (Crime and the Forces of Evil), Crime (Solarbird, the Lightbringer) is on vocals; the archer twins (Truth and Consequences) are on mandolin and irish bouzouki, respectively, and Cold Hard Reality provided some work on drums.

OOC, the parts I wrote are Creative Commons 3.5/Share Alike/Attribute/Non-commercial, and this is total self-insert fic, but, well, at least I own up to it, and besides, what'm I gonna do? Somebody has to play all these instruments. ^_^

remember the really circular bit in the werewolf novel with hallie/rising moon/mh/rising_moon and the "wearable wolf" song? that was worse (though i didin't write the song, i did sing and perform it with my band, local midnight :)

I am stupidly pleased with this thing, really. I mean, leaving aside all the fan joy (I TALK ON STAGE WITH PERFECT TOMMY OMG ^_^) there are dozens of edits of the source material to make this work, and for the most part, I dare people to find them all without a direct comparison. All you get in the movie is an intro and a guitar solo that breaks down. I wrote lyrics and made that into a song, a song that never happened. It's like changing history. ("That didn't happen." "Yes, it did." "No, it didn't." "It did, now." Muah ha ha!)

All the extra instrumentals and stuff are just gravy. ^_^
