This was just a fun, little songfic TheIkranRider made as some project for the Biker Mice! Ever since she was invited and joined her first Group on DeviantArt, ultimate-biker-mice, she couldn't resist! This was based on her youth as she was struggling thru comprehension/critical thinking questions since she was in 3rd-6th grade.
It was self-inserted, as she was heading to the Last Chance Garage as she heard tools wielding and electric guitars wailing! She knew it was the Biker Mice, and so she entered into it with a low face. Vinnie was the first one to notice and she wanted to cheer her up. Throttle offered to help her practice techniques in using her mind to solve problems on a whim, instead of simply just looking for answers. Modo dreaded the same thing when he was a young mouse, and those tests she said were around once a week, those in which she read a short story and had to recall the intel in it while answering in a workbook. She always became anxious as she often gets a low score and is crucial to her grades.
Before Throttle would give her some pointers, Vinnie suggested to boost her confidence, before she should get to the dirty work; to which she muttered it'd be like Greasepit or Karbunkle, to which everyone snickered. He was just jamming with a mop, strumming it like a guitar, as he sang and danced to the Beach Boys oldie, Rock and Roll Music, to cheer her up!
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony
The narrator just kept on absorbing Vinnie's charisma!
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
He then motioned to Charley.
I took my sweetheart over cross the tracks
So, she can hear my man await a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were going like a hurricane
The narrator became giddy as Vinnie became more absorbed into the song.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
Way down south they gave a jubilee
The jockey folks, they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' root beer from a water cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
He shook his tail at "all shook up," then he took the narrator's hand as they danced along! Everyone was cheering for them!
And started playin' that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to hear a mambo
It's way too early for a congo
So, keep on rockin' at Chicago!
Vinnie released me and he was ecstatic when he said the last line, and everyone roared! I just watched from the sidelines.
So, I can get some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
Then he faced me and winked.
Say you want to dance with me
If you want to dance with me
While the song ended, he tossed the mop from one paw to the other, then posed as he whispered, "Yeah" to her! Everyone was ecstatic for him and gave him a standing ovation! The narrator wished Charley's surveillance picked up the performance and she hoped she'd no longer dread those big tests taking in Charley and Throttle's advice. Heck, she envisioned them to start their own band! The questions would be quite stressful though she believed with all her heart and the Biker Mice, anything was possible!
Trivia[]
- This was Ikran's first project exclusively to the Biker Mice, her second being the Myth of Mars.
- Ikran always dreaded those crucial tests ever since she was a little kid, and with her short attention span and not knowing what they meant, she always struggled. Till she got the concept on using her mind and visualizing these problems on her own.
- She got into the Biker Mice from the SNES game first, then saw the animated series several years later.
- Throttle was known as her favorite Biker Mice cuz of his leadership, confidence, strategy, and everything in between!
- She had to change some of the lyrics so the oldie would be more relatable to the Biker Mice, and also add in the last "tango" verse since the Beach Boys never had it.
- She always envisioned Vinnie singing that song, ever since she was a kid!
- This is Ikran's 2nd songfic, her 1st being Rick's Lament.
