FOR HARDCORE BUFFY FANS ONLY

Via Whedonesque, someone has set new words--from the mouths of Angel characters--to the note-perfect melodies of songs from Once More With Feeling (the musical episode, for all you non-fans).

The lyrics are not very good. But this is partly because the original was so intricately created, with internal rhymes and dramatic beats that enhanced the emotional power of the music and character development...there's just no comparison.

Any fan knows that Angel would not have embraced the singing the way these lyrics indicate. His reaction would have been more along the lines of Spike's reluctant croon in OMWF. (Think of the eyeroll when he realizes he's singing to Buffy against his will...precious...) And Fred singing to Angel and Wes (instead of Gunn and Wes) is an odd choice. Interesting to think of Fred's yammering as equivalent to Xander's babbling, though.

Anyway...if you're a fan, great, and welcome! If you're not? So's your face.
