Perception

OOC: Reposted from theatrical_muse from 4/26/2006, 40 of 50.

Perception: Generally speaking, how do you think others perceive you?

Ahem.

(taps a microphone that has suddenly materialized out of nowhere) Is this thing on? Okay? Good.

(backup singers materialize out of nowhere, as the music begins)



(sings, in what is a surprisingly bad singing voice considering that this is an omnipotent being)

My species is super-evolved
With omnipotent powers
All the universe's knowledge
Has become ours
We test mortals, and study, and question
And sometimes we guide
We help others to rise
Toward the state we abide... in...

But sometimes that's just not enough
To keep a being like me interested
(Backup singers: No way, no how, uh-uh)
I gotta go out and have fun
At someone else's expense
(Backup singers: Oh yeah, yeah yeah)

I teleport captains to faraway places
While hapless first officers make monkey-like faces
I'm an asshole
(Backup singers: He's an asshole)
What an asshole
Galaxy's biggest asshole

I make nasty comments
About other species
Making mortals wish
They could rip me to pieces

I show up at random
In ship captains' beds
I make fun of Ferengi
and of Klingon foreheads

I'm an asshole
(Backup singers: He's an asshole)
What an asshole
Galaxy's biggest asshole

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they say that I'm wrong...

Naah!

I'm an asshole
(Backup singers: He's an asshole)
What an asshole
Galaxy's biggest asshole...


OOC notes: Based on "The Asshole Song" by Denis Leary. And the actor who plays Q, John de Lancie, really *can't* sing.
