S07.E07: Sing Me A Song

[Tara Ariano]

Quote

A much more detailed look into the world of the Saviors and their home, the Sanctuary, is shown. Meanwhile, members of Alexandria look for supplies.

[CletusMusashi]

So I guess this week is gonna be the annual Thugville Talent Show? OK, so Daryl will sing "Easy Street," Dwight will sing the "Who's the Boss?" theme.. and Negan and Lucille will be in charge of gonging. I'd like to speculate on what other songs we might hear, but the Neganlogues will eat up so much time that I don't think it will really be an issue.

[ByTor]

I don't mean to whine, but I'm going to whine...I wanna see The Kingdom again!!!!

The "members of Alexandria look for supplies" is not promising. That means that.. wait, let me roll a d6 for numbers and a d20 for characters... apparently Tara, Tobin, Rosita, Father Pee Pants, and special guest star Avuncular British Man With Mustache and Top Hat are going to have a.. wait..let me roll dice again... Parachuting Umbrella Zombie... in the... library... with Colonel Mustard. Which I assume is the brand of mustard that they are foraging for. In a library. As one does.

Do not make me take this shit seriously! Story A is gonna be Negan, and Story B is gonna be the " lol zombie kills of the week!"

Can we please get back to respectable storylines about trench-knife-wielding cookie-matrons and  gigundass Kodiak tigers and ambiguously-doctorated "scientists" who will hopefully soon level up to Gilligansislesque levels of omnitech?

Opening night of "The Negana Monologues"

[CletusMusashi]

Maybe it'll be the "Walking Dead" version of "Once More With Feeling."

I've got a theory/there will be talking/a guy named Negan can I get a walker bite here

I've got a theory/some kid is dreaming/and we're all stuck in a verbose man's zombie nightmare 

ETA: Anya's bunny verse stays the same

The title alone makes me want to smack someone.   Unless there's a zombie chorus involved somehow and really, what are the chances of that?

[ByTor]

Maybe the zombies can tap dance in the background.

[peacefrog]

Will we be hearing Bear Mcrearey's Skye Boat Song from Outlander?

Or at least shuffle rhythmically.

I have a problem. I don't want to hear anyone singing a song, Negan spouting nursery rhymes, raving about "hot" women or inquiring about Dwight's penis. I do not want to see a giant imaginary tiger on a chain, a king, fistbumps, Rick eyefucking anyone, flying boobs, more dismal acting from Cworal, Daryl being a filthy mope with hair in his eyes, or anyone artistically silhouetted in a setting sun, waving a stick and apprenticed to the Zen Karate Kid. Nope, not at all.

All well and good..but what else is there???????

[Johnny Dollar]

In keeping with the festive holiday season, the Neganites and the RickRollers and the Kingdom Comers and the Hilltop Honeys join together with their zombie brethren and put aside their differences for a rousing rendition of "We Are The World". Hilarity ensues when Negan insists on singing every solo part. 

[Tony]

Sounds like another boring filler episode. Good thing this show has 24-episode a season.

Oh wait... there aren't?

Hey - maybe this show would be better as a sitcom?

I don't mind long episodes if there is actually action as episode to the never ending yacking.

I'm trying to remember an extended episode that actually had a reason for being longer, but I'm coming up empty.

[SoSueMe]

Speaking of songs...

I need to take a deep breath and remember everything I loved about this show. Here's hoping  TPTB can recapture a little of this one of these days. It's worth the watch.

Does Negan have one of these???http://i.usatoday.net/life/_photos/2011/06/26/Jacksons-Thriller-jacket-fetches-18M-JH6HGMC-x-large.jpg

[nodorothyparker]

Wearing a tattered Thriller jacket is about the only way Negan could have been any more ridiculous  Plus it only would have reminded us that after six and a half seasons, we still haven't gotten any dancing zombies.

[Enigma X]

Is there no pre-air speculation thread for this episode?

[AngelaHunter]

I've decided that the only way this will be tolerable is if I dig my laptop out of mothballs and join in the Live Chat thread. See you all there!

For quite awhile now I've found the fan vids to be better than the show. Some of them are actually emotionally gipping, unlike the show.

It kind of looks like the pre-air and post show threads have been merged. I hope so, it was tricky for me to follow before.  

[Johnny Dollar]

Here's my pre-air speculation. Negan will do some speechifying while leaning backwards, and wearing skinny jeans that are both too small and too big at the same time.

His struggle lean and weak ass pelvic thrust.

Ugh.

[SharonH58]

It's Talent night at the Savior's.  Talent and Gong show combined.   30 extra mins of commercials, yakking and leaning.  Oh joy.

To be completely honest, pretending this is a sitcom (example: Negan "Well I'll be ding dong diddly-wopped!!) is getting me through this :)

Edited December 5, 2016 by ByTor

[HighMaintenance]

Wait... Was I mistaken?  Is this episode sub-titled "Sing me a Song, PART ONE"???  Oh, geezy peasy Christ on a cracker.  This is only a fraction of the story?  We'll due to Negan's affinity for yakking, it will take multiple episodes to relate the story of the Saviors.

[Maverick]

 Jesus H.  This is another extended episode?   Does this at least mean it's the mid-season finale and we can be out of our misery for the holidays? 

[CletusMusashi]

(With apologies to Billy Joel)

It's nine o'clock on a Sunday night

The "got no life" crowd shuffles in

There's an odd man standin' next to me

Makin' love to his bat... that's a thang?

He says: "Rick: can you sit through a monologue?

I'm not really sure where it goes

It ain't strong but it's long and if I get it wrong

I'll keep trying til maybe it flows..."

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah dumb

Sing me a song, if you gotta man

At least then it might have a beat

And at least then it'd have a damn melody

And it wouldn't take half the damn week

Now Shane on the phone is a friend of mine

He gets me my kids for free

Carol's quick with a Bic or to light up the sick

but there's no place that she wants to be

But,  Negan your speeches are killing me

And the last time we gathered around

My five foot four son grew up seven foot one

Could you shorten your speechiness down?

Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah dumb

Now Dwight is decent antagonist

who doesn't have rights to his wife

and he's talking to Daryl who's locked in a barrel

and probably filthy with lice

and the Saviors aren't practiced at politics

as the big shitstorms slowly begin

Yes, they're sharing a drink called brutality

but at least they talk less than Negan

Sing us a song or just shut it, man

Sing it or shut your trap

'Cause we're not in the mood for a monologue

and you just go yap yap yap yap

It's a pretty damn crowded apocalypse

There's a tiger king wearing a mop

and guy on a hill that calls Natalie Jill

and an island where hippie girls hop

But that Negan-hole's a clown from a carnival

And his writing is so overblown

He's invaded my show and I just wanna know

Will this man just shut up and go home?

Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, dumb

Sing me a song if you gotta, man

'Cause it can't take as long as your speech

and if you make me hear one more monologue

I will kill you, you son of a beetch.

@CletusMusashi

Bravo

[lmsweb]

That version of the Piano Man is the best thing I've read all week. I think you just won the internet.

[Lillith]

That there song is a thing of beauty. I died at the "yap yap yap" part.  

Proud to be part of the "got no life" crowd! 

[Haleth]

Cletus, that was brilliant.

(Wipes a tear.)

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Here we go.

[mightysparrow]

An episode that starts with Michonne can't be all bad.  Right?

RIGHT???

[lmsweb]

First song of the night: Farmer in the Dell.

[NorthstarATL]

Is  Michonne the Pied Piper?

[chick binewski]

And...Michonne is trolling us.

[CletusMusashi]

I think Michonne is as bored as we are.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Michonne ZA strolling, channeling Omar Little.

[MostlyContent]

What in the world is she doing?  At least the beginning is interesting!

[mightysparrow]

Poor Michonne is practically back where she started.  On her own and trying to get over being let down by a man that was too damn weak.

[CletusMusashi]

Poor Fat Joey. Nobody loves him.

At least he has cake.

[CletusMusashi]

Coral's hat is getting ready to challenge Jesus' hat for dominance.

[nodorothyparker]

They collected a random grandfather clock from someone?  Does that count as "something interesting?"

[NorthstarATL]

Don't say "blind spot" to Coral, Jesus!

[Rosiejuliemom]

Carl, you little shit!

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Jesus fell for that trick, you first.
