It's sort of a boy-meets-girl, evil-genius-kidnaps-girl, boy-rescues-girl kind of thing. But I can't think of an real triumph over evil kind of songs. The closest I can think of is "Mr. Fancy Pants." Any suggestions? I, too, have been thinking of a musical a’la Moving Out, where it is a string of JoCo songs with action and no dialog.

Fulfilment, or Coulton? Fulfilment, or Coulton? (/me plays Coulton tune for umpteenth time.)

Maybe this is more than a pipe-dream, an maybe (just maybe) I'm completely bonkers for even thinking about it - but the voices in my head just won't shut up about it!

My Monkey, Code Monkey, De-Evolving. Todd the T1000, Future Soon, Chiron Beta Prime. Robots rule the monkeys (My Monkey), casting some out (Chiron Beta Prime), and putting others to work (Code Monkey). Then the pendulum swings (De-Evolving). One monkey dreams of a better (or worse) tomorrow (Future Soon), while another turns cyborg (Todd the T1000). All the while, there's a Romeo and Juliet-esque almost love-affair between a monkey and a robot (Big Bad World One, Out For Drinks, Beneath the Pines), which eventually ends badly (Someone is Crazy, 'Til the Money Comes, Seahorse). You get the idea. ROCK! Eric I’ve got your musical right here:

The only troube I see is that JoCos' songs are so diverse in subject, it may seem a little random. I'm sure a good writter could sort that issue out though. Or even better Jonathan could write a musical from scratch, I'm sure he has time to fit it in ;) Yeah, let’s make a JoCo musical in the vain of Mamma Mia or We Will Rock You!

Seriously one of the best music videos yet. That Equilibrium video is a brilliant achievement composed from a brilliant song and an oh-so-close (with extra potential on top) to brilliant movie.
