The Mondlerians and Roschelites should be Friends...

I don't know how many people here are familiar with the old Broadway musical "Oklahoma!" However, in hopes that somebody might remember some of the songs from that soundtrack, let me offer a "Friend-ly" update on that song, "The Farmer and the Cowman Should be Friends", using personalities from this group to supply the lyrics and spur the song debate as in the original stage play. I will be Aunt Em, a character. If I have chosen you to provide some lyrics *please* feel complimented that I thought of you and not like I'm trying to ridicule you! This is meant to be fun...

I begin the song:

Oh, the Mondlerians and Roschelites should be friends Oh, the Mondlerians and Roschelites should be friends One group like the sigh and chase The other likes peaceful, cohabited space But that's no reason why they can't be friends.

All: Fans of Friends should stick together Fans of Friends should all be pals Let's all cheer the romantic foursome Handsome men and pretty gals!

Jim Squire:

I'd like to say a word for Ross and Rachel... They're so romantic, and he's loved her forever Though they may fuss and fight, we hope they will turn out right

William Pora: He's crazy and she's fickle as the weather!

Larissa: But the Mondlerians and Roschelites should be friends Oh, the Mondlerians and Roschelites should be friends Some think Chandler's the romance king Some think Ross needs back his dream But that's no reason why they can't be friends.

All: Fans of Friends should stick together Fans of Friends should all be pals Let's all cheer the romantic foursome Handsome men and pretty gals!

Activia:

I'd like to say a word for Mon and Chandler Their love is based on friendship everlasting They do not toss and turn, horrid fights don't make them burn

Tina: So why is she so mean to him? Just asking!

( A brawl breaks out. We hear scuffles and chairs being broken. There are shouted phrases: "Ross and Rachel were NEVER friends! Were too!" "Chandler and Monica have no chemistry! Ross and Rachel have no class! etc. In the middle of the brawl, a shot rings out. Aunt Em...er, Claire, has shot the ceiling to get silence. This is an actual scene from the play, don't freak out.)

Claire: (Sternly) It's a blank. Now. William, what are we singing?

William: (reluctantly, seething)

Oh, the Mondlerians and Roschelites should be friends

Claire turns to Larissa, who sings helpfully:

Oh, the Mondlerians and Roschelites should be friends

All: One group like the sigh and chase The other likes peaceful, cohabited space But that's no reason why they can't be friends!

THE END

I'm a little shocked I'm not in there! Seriously, when it comes to C&M I'm oone of the most defensive bitchy people there are!

But Ashley agrees!

~Ashley* "Now I understand why they call 'em sloppy joes."

Oh, and I really don't care. Just being an ass.

~Ashley* "I am the magical Monkey"

The Ghost of Oscar Hammerstein II is no doubt very pleased!

NOW I'm offended! :)

Very good Aunt Em, and well done. :)

Tennant

Sorry, babe. I wasn't sure what to do with you. Your name did come to mind.

Takes a bow. Or a shot. Whatever. :-)

Lol, you make up for it by calling me "babe" - thankyou *so* much! :)

Gotta hand it to you Claire, what a way to bring a smile out of this tense argument. :) It helps knowing the piece too, I love musicals.

And I guess it's official now...Mondlerians and Roschelites..

Ross: I don't know if anything is ever going to happen with us again, ever, but I don't want to know that it never could. So I stopped it, and she got mad and broke my projector. -TOW Chandler Can't Cry

But what to we call Larissa? And the other 'equals'?

~Ashley* "Ding dong the psycho's gone, the psycho's gone"- Me stealing a line from friends about my crazy mean spirited sister leaving home!

Something catchy...let's continue thinking.

Hmm, the Mondlerroschelitejoebes? Nah, not catchy enough. ;)

I guess I'm a Mondleroschelite? I'm not really a Joebe. And Claire, good job on the song! :) (Even though I'm depicted kind of as the dumb blonde going around yelling "peace" - ooh, I'm Phoebe.)

Now I wish I *did* know that musical ;-)

(after getting a quick "Oklahoma!" refresher course from Claire ;-) Hope I did okay ;-)

Nevertherless, I thoroughly enjoyed it, Claire.
