Summarize one of your stories as a Broadway musical soundtrack, pls

So I went on a complete mental tangent off one of [livejournal.com profile] pandemonium_213's comments (concerning a mask), and began imagining my really originally-titled “Of Draugluin” as a Broadway musical.  Once I realized I had several actual song titles of the cracky persuasion in mind, I decided to just indulge my stupid sense of humor and create a whole cracky Broadway musical tracklist for the WIP to date.  

People who write stuff, please swipe this idea, because I want to see other crack!Broadway soundtracks to other peoples’ fics. =D

Melkor’s March  (Ancalagon, Chorus)
The World is My Laboratory   (Mairon, Chorus)
Contractual Lupine Indwelling  (Draugluin)
Werewolf Lullabies  (Whelps)
The World is My Laboratory / Contractual Lupine Indwelling (Mairon, Draugluin)
What the Fuck Did I Get Myself Into?  (Pallandë, Draugluin)
Valinor, Fuck Yeah (Valar)
Trees Are People Too (Draugluin, Ancalagon)

Note 'laboratory' would definitely be pronounced the 5-syllable way.

I'll bite.

One must definitely test the new router. Right!

Nice, you've divvied yours up into acts like a proper musical. "All Things Are Quite Grand and Glorious in Gondor," "Brother, Get Yourself a Job," haha. And one might indeed expect a "Death and Taxes" in a Dwim-fic!musical. (Now I need to read the story to see who needs to get a job & c...)
