Musical Dares

I figured that we should have one of these, for laughs, if not for inspiration.

So, how it works, you may take any dare that strikes your fancy, just make sure to leave one or two of your own.

To start:

Have a song titled 'Songs Unsung' or 'Songs Unwritten'
BP: If one of the characters, at the end of the song, comments that songs unsung should stay unsung
TP: If the music plays, and the character who is singing just stands there, and stares. Because, after all, it's songs unsung.

Those who say that they hate the rain, have never danced in it.

So let it rain.

RE: Musical Dares

I'm LEAVING

> Have a character who continuously shows up at the end of a song
BP: If this character knows it's the end of the song
TP: If they really want to sing
Even more: If they do sing one song in the show, and they're really good

RE: Musical Dares

I could use a dare. Any good ones out there?

So I guess I'll leave:
1. an ode to tangerines
2. too many books
3. sleepless night(s)

Use any or all in your script, and preferably with a song attached.
