MAMMA MIA! - THE FINAL ACT:
Scene:
Its the night of the India- Pakistan semi finals which Pakistan had lost. It was almost dawn and Waqar Younis and his team are at a bar and its been a while. Waqar is looking at his team and starts singing to the tune of "When all is said and done":
Here's to us one more toast and then we'll pay the bill
Deep inside both of us can feel the autumn chill
Birds of passage, you and me
We fly instinctively
When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
In our lives we have walked some strange and lonely treks
Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex
We're still striving for the sky
No taste for humble pie
Thanks for all your generous love and thanks for all the fun
Neither you nor I'm to blame when all is said and done
It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done
Scene:
Its the tense start before the Finals match between India and Sri Lanka. Kapil Dev and Arjuna Ranatunga are having a look at the pitch before the toss and analyzing the match thats going to start. They start singing as chorus to the tune of "Voulez Vous":
People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
Voulez-vous
Take it now or leave it
Now is all we get
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous
Ain't no big decision
You know what to do
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous...
Scene:
Harsha Bhogle, Sidhu and Ian chappel in the TV studios are showing pictures of the crowd waiting to get into the Wankhede stadium for the finals clash between India and Sri Lanka. Looking at the surging crowds, who were expecting to catch Sachin Tendulkar's magic, the three of them start singing in a chorus to the tune of "The Piper":
They came from the hills
and they came from
the valleys and the plains
they struggled in the cold
in the heat and the snow
and in the rain
came to hear him play
play their minds away
They came from the south
from the west and the north
and from the east
they waited for the man
like a parish is waiting
for the priest
longed to hear him play
play their minds away
He gave them a dream
he seduced everybody
in the land
the fire in his eyes
and the fear was a weapon
in his hand
so they let him play
play their minds away
We're all following a strange melody
we're all summoned by a tune
we're following the piper
and we dance beneath the moon
We're following the piper
and we dance beneath the moon for him
and we dance beneath the moon
SCENE:
It was after the Finals clash between India and Sri Lanka. A bright moon is shining (or is it the flood lights?), under which a guy is standing with his heads down. Because of the silhouette, its not clear whether its MS Dhoni or Kumar Sangakara. But the song he was singing drifted by clearly and it was to the tune of "The Winner Takes it All":
I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me, now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say, no more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory, that's her destiny
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show, always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk if it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize if it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense, no self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
THE END.
