16th Short - [Video]

[Guess who's in a great mood today? That's right, it's the resident Lucky Rabbit! Being a Disney character, Christmas already brings him lots of cheer, but the present he got was even better than he could've hoped for. It made him a little homesick, yes, but just having Ortensia's locket reminded him that this is the time to spend with your loved ones and spread joy all around.]

Ho ho ho, folks! Oswald the Lucky Rabbit here, wishin' you all a Merry Christmas! Hope Santa got y'all the presents you were hopin' for. I'm gonna miss my little elf pal, but there's always next year!

[He shrugs, then continues on in the same tone of excitement.]

That said, I got an announcement for you! There's a big show goin' down next Monday, December 31st! We're gonna end this year with a bang! It's the extravaganza of a lifetime, happenin' right here in Luceti, but I'm not gonna spoil the surprise just yet. Where? Community Building one! When? [He pauses, actually stopping to think about this.] I'd say around four in the afternoon should be good. ...So come one, come all! You ain't gonna want to miss this spectacle!

[And with that, it's back to the more current topic- Christmas!]

Hey, so who's up for caroling this year? I know Santa's already left, but Christmas is Christmas and it ain't the same without some carols! Jingle Bells, Deck The Halls, Silent Night... We can do all the classics and go visit all the houses! Don't worry if ya don't know the lyrics, I can teach you! It's real easy. So who's in?

[Of course, Oswald should be, really.]

You think? Hm.

[Loki frowns and taps his chin briefly. Cool Midgardian music...]

There is a 'Happy New Year'-song I know of. I refers to the changing of years in a most perfect way. Yet, I am unable to properly remember who sang it.

[kingofwaste]

Uh... Well, can you sing a little for me? Maybe I'll recognize it!

[Unlikely, because most of Oswald's musical knowledge consists of Disney songs, but you never know!]

I am pretty sure you do not. It is sang by a group of women, and some men as well. It is a song with very melancholic lyrics. I shall write them down for you.

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

This song might be too sad for such a joyful feast.

[The more he reads of those lyrics, the greater the frown on Oswald's face.]

No kiddin'... We're not supposed to feel lost because the year's over. We're supposed to be celebratin' and looking forward to the next one!

[not_a_troll]

Aye, this song is one made from doom and gloom and thus not fitting for such a feast. I shall scrap it from the list.

[He thinks of happier songs...]

It saddens me greatly that there is no access to the you tube here.

I don't think there's that many good New Years' songs out there, but we can try other cheerful songs! There's gotta be somethin' out there... Hm...

["Be My Guest"? No no... "Everybody Wants To Be A Cat"? Definitely no. Curse his ability to only think of Disney stuff!]

A shame. I would have expected that Midgard would be more creative with finding suitable melodies to subjects like this.

[Loki strokes his chin.]

Maybe those electronical melodies, with a bass drum. And there is this man who constantly tends to 'drop his bass'. Maybe he should hold on tighter.
