As a whimsical way of looking at the matrix, the characters and our opinions of it...what songs do you feel would be sung in a musical version of the Matrix films and who would sing them?

I only seem to come up with Queen songs! aaagh! (queen songs in musicals has been overdone as it is!)

We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions - sung by various matrix warrior peeps like morpheus and neo and such

I Want It All - sung by Smith

Headlong - sung by the architect and Neo (possibly a kind of duet?)

"you're rushing headlong - out of control... and there ain't no stopping and there's nothing you can do about it"

She's A Killer Queen (someone singing about Trinity?)

Another One Bites The Dust - sung by agents

I Want To Break Free - sung by Neo (before he realises he is the one initially with perhaps a reprise later)

(.... *gulp* this is beginning to work a little TOO well!)

"I am more than man, more than life! I am a GOD!"

Well done!

Good work Fatpie. Well, it would seem that my brave attempt to pioneer an alternative avenue into Matrix understanding via musical metaphor has been downgraded to "chitchat and fun" rather than alternative theories. I really think that you can capture a lot of thoughts by linking a character or event to a songtitle..but no matter.

I wonder if you can play and of the matrix films using Pink Floyd's dark side of the moon as a soundtrack, as they said you could with the wizard of Oz? Has anyone tried anything similar, perhaps with other films?

Anyway, if I could pick a song, i think it would have to be agent smith singing "My way". Would make one hell of a video sequence, with soulful moments.

Fatpie, i especially agree with you on "another one bites the dust" and "I want to break free". As i recall they used a lot of queen songs in the film metropolis that had a close link to matrix ideas. Interesting. I told you we had something. *sigh*.

OK, in Reloaded, they should have Neo do a sexy dance while singing "I'm too sexy..." LOL! Can you imagine? Then after he seduces her, Trinity should sing "I'm just a love machine."
And then, right before the burly brawl, Smith should do an elaborate broadway dance to "I did it my way"
After the Neb blows up, Morpheus should sing "Someday I'll flyaway."
During the Zion partay scene, everyone should sing "The Thong Song."
When Trinity blows off Cypher after he's complaining abut her never bringing him dinner, he shold sing a pathetic rendition of "Achey Brakey Heart."
As Neo is boldly and determinedly walking towards Smith for the final battle, they should break out in a very heart-felt, "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better."
Before Seraph and Neo engage in thie fight, Seraph should strip down to a flashy Vegas showrrom number and sing "Kung Fu Fighting."
Then, best of all, before the oracle's elaborate speech about choice to neo, just after she sticks the candy in her little mouth, she should jump up ontop of the little warming house and sing "I Want Candy" then shortly after she and Neo will take the dance break as an opportunity to show off the tango they've been working on.

I have reached a creative block as to which sng the key-maker should sing, Emilee and i would appreciate any suggesions. Smile

The keymaker is always being suppressed by those evil program people and being chased and stuff so I thought of "thoughtless" by Korn.

good one! We also thought it would be great if when Smith, Brown and Jones are looking for Neo's cubicle that they should sing "One Way or Another" by Blondie.
A better substitution for "Zion" during the sex scene could be "Digital Get Down" by *Nsync.
Soon to come... something for the Merovingian, possibly Money, by the Beatles or Papa by the Notorious BIG, P-I-M-P by 50 Cent or It Wasn't Me by someone that i can't think of the name...

Oooooh could Neo sing "I believe in a thing called love" by the darkness to Trinity? (perhaps when he is saving her life at the end of reloaded or something?)

Please! Please please please please please!

Pretty please?

Alrighty, I've got a really good one! When everyone is holding a gun to everyone else's head, Persephone should burst out in "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain and Tenille. HA! (Actually, she can sing it at any point in Reloaded or Revolutions, she's just convinced that Love is the answer to everything)
Also, in that same scene, just after Trinity says,"Believe it," she could sing"Aint No Mountain High" by the Temptations. "to keep me from gettin' to you, babe!"

Excellent ideas Elizabeth, Emilee, Anomaly and Fatpie!

Hehe, Kung Fu Fighting had to get in there somewhere Whitelaugh

Hmm, Rocky horror picture show songs could have a place. I think i`d like to see the architect singing "In just 7 days, I can make you a man" ( Shocked its the beard that does it).

Anomaly! That's the worst one yet! lol!

I like the choice of 'kung fu fighting' - I think it should go at the point when morpheus and neo are fighting in the dojo.

It is purpose that created us.

ooooh I don't know if anyone else here is a korn fan *blushes*

I recently had the matrix playing (just as something in the background - weird I know) and my hi-fi switched to my new korn album just when the fight between neo and smith takes place in the underground station. The first song on the album "right now" works really well.

I know there are lot of people who think that Korn suck, so I expect no one will care about this observation. Neutral

For the scene in The Matrix Revolutions where Neo is at the Mobil Avenue train station, we could play "No Man's Land" by Billy Joel.

For the scene in M3 when Niobe is flying the Hammer, we could play "Icarus" by Iron Maiden.

For the scene in The Matrix Reloaded when Neo revives Trinity after he removes the bullet from her chest, we could play "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS.

As for the epic battle scene in Zion where the APU Corps faces the Sentinels, why not "The Ride of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner?

That's all I have for now. I may have more later.
