Afterword
I'd like to thank everyone who read and enjoyed the story; I had a fun time putting it together! Here's the story behind this insanity:
I heard a parody of 'If I Only Had A Brain' one day; since I was in a weird mood, I began thinking of Invader Zim and how the song might work for Gir. I followed this train of thought, and realized that the major characters of the show would fit surprisingly well with the characters in the movie. Since I had a week during which I was in school but didn't have any schoolwork, I was grateful for the task to take up my time. I was able to do most of the work during that week; the rest had to be finished up under less ideal conditions. But now it's done... hurray!
I am grateful that there are Internet resources for The Wizard of Oz and I don't have to get the tape of the movie if I want to check the facts of a scene or song. I found that http://www.ozwiz.net was a very useful resource, as it had the script and song lyrics. It also has files of all the songs, which should be helpful for anyone whose memory of the songs is limited to 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'.
Finally, I wanted to share a verse for the lion that was sent to me by [email protected]. Though it didn't fit with what I was going to do, I thought it was really adorable and should be put up somewhere. So, here it is:
If I Only Ruled The Earth
Life is sad, believe me human
When you're too short to do some doomin'
A midget since your birth
But I could please the Tallest,
Never more be called the smallest
If I only ruled the Earth!
Thanks again; I hope you enjoyed my story!
