    Title: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
    Author: lazykbys
    Fandom: Space Odyssey
    Timeframe: 2010 & 2061
    Characters: er . . . no-one?
    Genre: filk, a.k.a. song parody (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles)
    Keywords:
    Summary: Jupiter becomes Lucifer; Mount Zeus sinks.
    Notes: The timeline of the song jumps all over the place. Be warned.
    Disclaimer: The Space Odyssey series was created by Arthur C. Clarke. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was created by The Beatles. The original song is mentioned in 2061: Odyssey Three, which is where I got the idea for this.






    [b]Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds[/b]


    Picture yourself on a Jovian worldlet
    With Jupiter filling the bulk of the sky
    Suddenly something begins to eclipse it
    A shadow that's growing in size

    Monoliths multiply quick as they can
    Swallowing matter like mad
    Look to the skies for a blinding surprise
    Something's gone . . .

    (REFRAIN)
    Lucy in the sky with diamonds
    Lucy in the sky with diamonds
    Lucy in the sky with diamonds
    Ah . . . ah . . .


    Follow the paths of the planet's implosion
    As crystalized carbon shards pepper the sky
    One of them chances to land on Europa
    A diamond astounding in size

    Gravity pulls down on Mt. Zeus's mass
    Trying to take it away
    Hear the last cries of the mountain's demise
    Yes, it's gone . . .

    (REFRAIN)


    Picture yourself on the isles of Europa
    With Lucifer shining above in the sky
    Fractures split rainbows that pass through the diamond
    Creating kaleidoscope skies

    (REFRAIN repeat and fade)

    That's very awesome, lazy . . . the visuals are at least as good as in the original song, and you made the rhyme and meter sound effortless.

    Now go through the JCC Idol thread and see if you can bribe someone to sing and record it for you. :p
