COME TOGETHER
OPENING ACT
The lights slowly dawned on The Park Cottage. 25,700 people had packed into the arena. The image on the world feed faded into the stadium. Entourage were here. They were the debutants for Mister X all the way back in WorldVision 29. As the music kicked in, the stage was in half light and the lead singer of Entourage ghostly spoke into the microphone:
Mister X welcomes you all.
The drums kicked in and the stage was no longer in half light. One member of Entourage was rocking out on a guitar. On each staccato chord followed a dramatic burst of light, and the lead singer once again spoke:
We'll come together in Mister X!
Finally, he started to add a melody to his words:
The nations come!
The nations come!
(Hoo, hah, hoo-hah, hoo, hah, hoo-hah)
We said to them to come together!
Come together right NOW!
Come together, come together, yeah!
Flags of all the participating nations were then brought on to the stage, one by one. Mister X, as the host nation, led all the others. Each flag had a microscopic attention to detail.
Coming together every hour!
Using our power, together every hour!
You've got it, so let's find the best
Best song tonight in Thatcher City, yeah!
Tonight in Thatcher City!
Nations come from everywhere,
Here, there, and everywhere!
Nations come from everywhere,
Here, there, and everywhere!
It's WorldVision 34
And though it rhymes with "bore",
It's WorldVision 34
You won't hear a single snore!
And despite the weather,
We'll all come together!
Even if you're made of leather,
Let's all come together!
And despite the weather,
We'll all come together!
(Nations come, the nations come!)
We said to them to come together!
Come together even when it's done!
Come here, whenever you do, it doesn't matter!
Never, never, being alone!
Nations come from everywhere,
Here, there, and everywhere!
Nations come from everywhere,
Here, there, and everywhere!
It's WorldVision 34
And though it rhymes with "bore",
It's WorldVision 34
You won't hear a single snore!
And despite the weather,
We'll all come together!
Even if you're made of leather,
Let's all come together!
And despite the weather,
We'll all come together!
The final flag came onto the stage from Gregoryisgodistan. All the participating nations' flags were now up on the stage. During the instrumental, the flag-bearers started waving their flags in perfect unison. The flag-bearer from Mister X came forward and handed the lead singer of Entourage another, folded-up, flag. He started to vocalise:
Nations come!
The nations come!
They sing and dance!
The nations come!
Oh yeah!
Yeah!
The music started to tone down, and the lead singer of Entourage unfolded the flag. It was a flag of the WorldVision 34 logo, along with the slogan, COME TOGETHER. The singing then continued:
It's WorldVision 34!
It's WorldVision 34!
It's WorldVision 34
And though it rhymes with "bore",
It's WorldVision 34
You won't hear a single snore!
It's WorldVision 34
And though it rhymes with "bore",
It's WorldVision 34
You won't hear a single snore!
It's WorldVision 34!
And despite the weather,
We'll all come together!
Even if you're made of leather,
Let's all come together!
And despite the weather,
We'll all come together!
We'll all come together!
And despite the weather,
We'll all come together!
The opening act finished, and the crowd erupted in thunderous applause. WorldVision 34 was underway.
