Mountie Song, anyone?

[sineala.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know if the Arrogant Worms' "The Mountie Song" has ever been vidded to Due South?

It seems like such an incredibly obvious and humorous idea that I cannot believe it has never been done. I know there are songfics, but I haven't seen a vid.

(Of course, that could be because I've only found, like, five dS vids total and I have been looking, believe me. I know there are some offline but I keep not having the money to order any.)

If it hasn't been vidded, I want at it. If it has, I just wanna watch it. Anyone?

Oh, bwee. I love that song. I'd offer to do it, except I'm not at all familiar with dS and have no source on hand.

I have no source either, but that has never stopped me from planning anything. I have one planned TS vid, two totally planned dS vids, and two dS vids I'm planning now, but nothing I have source for. I want DVDs now. Now now now.

Okay, so that makes three of us who want a Mountie Song vid. Yay Mountie Song.

*Heh.*

Story of my life.

I've been trying to focus on vids I could actually finish, thus the Rhade, 'cause, four episodes total, and the Labyrinth, 'cause, just the one movie and maybe some Ziggy Stardust the Motion Picture which I also have on hand, and the Utena on was *supposed* to be that way but I keep wishing I had the series and not just the movie to play with.

Silly me...

Please, please, *please* do the Utena, even if it's just the movie. Please.

I'm trying, but I keep hitting bits that are just, "I could so do that IF" you know? Which is stupid of me because I was originally going for the Drive song for the bizarre car stuff.

Heh. I still love the possible coast guard/MotB connections.

It just occurred to me, though -- what would you do for "my stupid hat flies off my head in every parade?" Fraser has the invulnerable hat.

Oh! For "honest, loyal, humble, strong, and thrifty" you could do Fraser trying to steal milk duds to be imprisoned with RayV (Witness). And there are interesting "don't break ranks" resonances with the pilot and Bird in the Hand and Gerrard. Dude, and there's even an episode where someone's plotting the assassination of the Canadian trade representative. And he hates his Dudley DoRight persona in "Flashback."

I am loving this more every time I think about it, in case you couldn't tell.

Me too.

Fraser has the invulnerable hat.

I seem to recall that there's something hat-related in Good For the Soul -- when they start to beat him up, he has his hat on, but then his hat flies off and they *really* start hitting him. Am I imagining that?

Great Minds Think Alike. I wrote that one down on the vid plan last night.

And there are interesting "don't break ranks" resonances with the pilot and Bird in the Hand and Gerrard.

There are, aren't there? Huh.

Dude, and there's even an episode where someone's plotting the assassination of the Canadian trade representative.

Dude, there is? This is too perfect. Which one? Has it got, like, nice vid-worthy shots of people in targeting crosshairs?

And he hates his Dudley DoRight persona in "Flashback."

I was thinking of using *other* Mounties for the Mounties the narrator mocks. Like, Dudley DoRight could be Turnbull, and Sgt. Preston Of The Yukon could be, like, his father or Buck Frobisher or someone.

Fraser mocking himself in Flashback could get used during the choruses, maybe -- "The RCMP is not the life for me." And you could also use, there, him threatening to resign in the pilot. Or something.

I was wondering how much humor one could maximally get out of Some Like It Red, here. One could use it in the first verse, for "I really don't look good in red," (because Fraser is *so* not a redhead) but I'm wondering if it would be funnier to have Ms. Fraser show up first in one of the choruses, on "I want to wear normal clothes." Is it as funny if it's used twice? Because the second time, the viewer would have already seen Fraser in drag and have that in the back of their mind that it was possible to use in this vid, and it maybe wouldn't be quite as funny. But it fits well for both. What do you thing? (UsedCarSalesman!Fraser also needs to appear for "normal clothes.")

Is Fraser chasing the purse snatcher through the mall in "Seeing is Believing" too literal for "We act like guards in shopping malls"?

I don't know how this would work, overall -- it seems like it would have to be half-serious (ie, "don't break ranks") and then go completely funny. Don't know how that would come out.

And what would you do for the bridge, with the people asking all the questions?

I so want to watch this vid now. Someone *must* have done it before.

I'm on camus and just finished a midterm, so I'll have to get back to you on most of that -- my brain hurts too much to consider the effect of successive shots from "Some Like it Red." But someone attempts the assassination of the Canadian trade rep in "The Edge," early season two. I don't recall if there are any handy shots through crosshairs or anything, though I doubt it. You should check it out -- it also spawned some uber-hurty Fraser!hurt slash, to give you a general idea of the ep. And it's got lots of snark.

You're *trying* to get me not to study for my midterm, aren't you?

Due South Source Tapes & Online Vids

[morgandawn.livejournal.com]

There are several DS slash fans in the SF Bay area, so that may be a good source of tapes.

As for online vids: I have done 2 (not currently online). info at: http://www.geocities.com/mdawn6

Laura Shapiro has also done 2 (we're currently working together on a F/K vid):

Re: Due South Source Tapes & Online Vids

Oh, I have tapes, all right, borrowed tapes from friends -- there are a few of us around here who are slash fans. My problem is that I don't have a capture card or other method of getting tapes into an editable format. Most of my source is SLP-taped, though, which I gather produces ugly results. Not that that matters, as I still have no capture card. Right now everything I vid is from DVD source.

I've seen (and liked) Laura's vids, but I haven't seen yours, sorry -- I don't usually have the money to go ordering offline vids.
