"Wannabe Scully-Style" (original lyrics by the Spice Girls) Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want So tell me what you want, what you really really want I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want So tell me what you want, what you really really want I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really really really wanna Mulder it's me. Well to fight the future, Scully's the one As a kickass role model, she's second to none Being like Dana must take some time Start with useful phrases -- always say "I'm fine." I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.... If you wanna be like Scully, you gotta do autopsies Learn your Y-incisions; know how to talk disease If you wanna be like Scully, you got to forgive Punk may not deserve it, but that's the way it is. Make sure those new black pumps have at least a three-inch heel You trust science for answers; vampires aren't real You can't be squeamish 'bout things like bile And there are big ol' giant bugs in the X-Files. I'll tell you what I want... If you wanna be like Scully, prepare to suffer loss Loved ones die quite often, but you'll have a cute boss If you wanna be like Scully, roll your eyes just right Keep your cell phone handy since calls come late at night So here's a tale of the Blessed One - you think her job is fun? Well listen up; here's how it's done You got a big flashlight, the killer's not in sight But you're calm, you move on; once you spy the perp Quickly pull out your gun with ease, he's a total sleaze and as you yell "Stop! Freeze!" Slam the suspect down and keep him on the ground Slam the suspect down and keep him on the ground. If you wanna be like Scully, you're on the victim's side There's a damn good reason if you have ever lied If you wanna be like Scully, you're real skeptical But you've seen a spaceship -- you said so in the snow. If you wanna be like Scully, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, slam, slam, slam, slam Slam the suspect down and keep him on the ground Slam the suspect down and keep him on the ground Slam the suspect down and keep him on the ground Slam the suspect down Mulder it's me If you wanna be like Scully.Author's note: Not that there's been a filk dearth around the Abbey lately, but here's a song. I wrote this back when people were suggesting that certain gentlemen of the X-Files masquerade as the Spice Girls (I remember something about Mulder and orange spandex). "Wannabe" is supposed to have a chorus and be really repetitive, but it was much more fun to keep writing new verses. Oh. Look. RealLife is regaining consciousness. It's times like these when I wish I had a government-issued weapon. Wonder if I can smother it with my trenchcoat...aaaaaaaaah!
