I do not own any of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir. Or Teen Beach Movie.
I already have a collection of musical parodies for HTTYD. After ignoring it for awhile, I posted a song just before the year ended. I still have songs aside for it, but I'm not sure when I'll come back to them again. And for awhile, I've had ideas of doing the same with Miraculous. So I decided to make a new collection for them.
I don't know just how many I'll post here, but I've got a few in the works already. But to start it all off, I'd like to post my first 3 today.

Hawkmoth's latest akuma has to be the strangest one yet.
A college student, who just wrote a musical with original songs, written and composed by that very student, had their dream smashed when the school's theater society refused to stage their show. Feeling this heartbroken young person's sorrow, Hawkmoth saw an opportunity, and knocked.
Now, Labybug and Chat Noir have an akuma that has been turning people into singers and performers all day. Not that anyone was brainwashed and turned into characters they weren't. They were themselves, but they did things and mostly spoke as performers. And if they weren't speaking like performers, they were singing like them.
The crime fighting duo ran into a group of civilians who informed them of where the akumatized person was headed next, but they did so only being able to speak in Shakespeare.
On their way, they hear many other people singing entire songs about things for normal conversation. 'Where did I leave my phone?', 'I want to go get some ice cream', 'How was your day?', 'I can't dance', 'Hello, my name is Peter.' The list went on. And of course, no musical number would be complete without some dancing. So while people sang, they were also forced to dance in a choreographed manner to match their song. Their songs did end, however, and they went back to talking normally. But just like in any musical, not long later, another one started and they couldn't help it but sing and dance again.
And that's how life would be for the citizens of Paris; an endless musical of uncontrollable, random songs and choreographed dance numbers. And a few people who weren't much for singing would be speaking Shakespearean none stop. Unless Ladybug and Chat Noir pulled the curtains on this akuma and ended the show.
The people speaking Shakespeare were right, because they found the akuma by their school, turning their classmates into drama performers and chorus lines. When the akuma tried to make a run for it on a bridge over the Seine, they managed to blast both superheroes with a beam of light from the script book they carried; most likely the akumatized object.
After the blinding light had faded, Ladybug and Chat Noir looked around, but Hawkmoth's new goffer was gone.
"Crap," Chat Noir said under his breath, not seeing the akuma anywhere on the bridge anymore.
While he did that, Ladybug was looking down at herself, trying to see if there was anything wrong with her. But she didn't feel anything. "You okay?" she finally asked her partner.
"Yeah, why?"
"We just got hit by the akuma's power, shouldn't we be feeling something?" she said, not getting why Chat Noir wasn't more concerned about what that blast could have done to them.
Chat Noir took a moment to focus on himself and if he felt anything off. He didn't. "Well, we're not talking in Shakespeare, so that's a good sign," he joked.
Ladybug rolled her eyes before looking around to see if the akuma left any clues as to where they might have gone. And there on the ground was what looked like a little ball. "Wait, what's this?" she wondered as she walked over to the ball and picked it up. After turning it over in her hands, she saw one side of it had what looked like a speaker.
And that is when she realized what it was. The akuma had been leaving these behind all day with the people who were forced to be singers for their musical. After all, singers needed musical accompaniment.
Panicked, the spotted heroine was about to throw the ball off the bridge and into the Seine, but as she reeled her arm back, the speaker-ball flew from her hand, straight up into the air. She and her feline companion looked up and watched as it just hovered there above them. And before either of them could exchange anymore words, music blasted from the speaker; a gentle ukulele.
Ladybug:
What's going on?
(Ladybug held a hand to the base of her throat. Chat looked as her, surprised to hear her singing. She was pretty good.)
This can't be happening
Don't tell me it's a song.
"It's a song," Chat nodded his head, not entirely displeased by their situation.
Ladybug:
This wasn't how I planned it.
Can't you see that this has gone too far?
(Ladybug can't control her arm as it flings upwards, gesturing out. As soon as she did it, she used her other hand to push it back down.)
Please, just pause the DVR.
Someone, won't you make it stop?
(Ladybug's hips started to move on their own to the beat. Shaking herself to stop her hips, she walked away, her hands holding her head.)
I'm losin' my mind.
Chat Noir: I don't see a problem (Chat casually followed after her)
Ladybug:
Everything I say, it rhymes!
Here comes another line…
(Chat gently puts his hands on her shoulders in an attempt to calm her freaking out, but almost immediately, his hands trailed down to her hands. Their hands together, the heroes find themselves moving their arms to the beat.)
Chat Noir: Just relax yourself and dance with me
(Next they find their legs moving in a simple two step dance.)
Ladybug:
What's this choreography?
Someone, won't you make it stop?
(Chat spins her out, but he still holds onto her left hand with his right as they continue stepping ever so gracefully with each other.)
Both:
Oh, I can't stop singing!
Make it stop! Make it stop!
Am I real or just a prop?
(Chat lets go of Ladybug's hand and does a back flip while she does a few ballerina spin until she backs up all the way to the edge of the bridge.)
Oh, I can't stop singing
So let's just talk.
(Ladybug hops up to sit on the ledge of the bridge. Chat immediately follows after her and sits beside her on the ledge.)
Ladybug:
Talk, talk.
It's just a song
An inefficient way to move everything along
I'm done! (Ladybug forces her hands over her mouth, muffling her next singing line.)
(Chat just grins, thinking she was being silly.)
Chat Noir: Don't hind it, you have a lovely voice
Ladybug:
(Ladybug just looked at him.)
Well it's not like that I have a choice
Someone, won't you make it, make it stop?
(Ladybug jumped to her feet, standing on the ledge where she was just sitting on.
"Don't make it stop!" Chat fines himself saying, actually enjoying himself a bit, as he stand up on the ground of the bridge, looking up at his lady. Chat takes Ladybug's hand again as she dances in some side steps on the ledge and he steps with her; every step perfect and their eyes never leaving each other's.
Both:
Oh, I can't stop singing!
Make it stop! Make it stop!
Am I real or just a prop?
(Chat reaches up to take Ladybug's waist with both his hand as she places both of her hands on his shoulders. Chat lefts her and spins her a few times.)
Oh, I can't stop singing
So let's just talk.
(Chat gently places her back on the ground with him. They both drop their hands and just look at each other.)
Chat: Talk
Ladybug: Talk
Chat: Talk
Ladybug: Talk
Chat: Talk
Ladybug: Talk
Both: Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk!
Ladybug: We're trapped inside a musical revue
(Ladybug tries to step away, but Chat takes her by the hand and pulls her back to him; his hand in the middle of her back and one of her hands ends up on his chest.)
Chat Noir:
At least I'm here with you
I don't want to make it stop
(And just like that, the two jump themselves away and start dancing again, alternating between dancing together and doing their own dances; mostly consisting of tap dancing.)
Both:
Oh, I can't stop singing!
Make it stop! Make it stop!
Am I real or just a prop?
Oh, I can't stop singing…
Does it stop? Does it stop?
Is it ever gonna stop?
Oh!
Ican't stop singing
So let's just…
"Talk!" Ladybug shouted the last word. The music had ceased from the tiny speaker above them, but it was still floating there for them. Both no long felt the uncontrollable urge to dance anymore and the following words that came out of their mouths weren't sung.
Now that the song was over, they knew they now had a window to get going and find the akuma before in happened again. So the two superheroes left the bridge in a hurry, but the speaker following after them, ready to provide music for their next number.
This song just felt funny and appropriate to start this off.
Note: All songs/chapters are their own and do not continue with a certain plot (Unless I state otherwise).
