Also referred to as the "not-movieword." Author's note: I occasionally visit a happy world where there's no such thing as Scully torture, GA gets ALL the prizes (including several emmys Sunday - Best Dramatic Actress, Best Comedic Actress, and best television song ("Jeremiah was a...") among them), Scully is ALWAYS right and the worst thing Scully has to put up with is Mulder's punkishness. The following song mutilation errr adaptation is in honor of that world, glimpses of which shine through into this one; and also in honor of other redheads who deserve the few prizes GA hasn't taken upon herself to be eligible for. realaudio clip of original song Here original lyrics Here | Back to Filks | |
