20 July 2007: it's a "magical" set...
« on: July 20, 2007, 07:36:02 AM »
... in honor of Harry Potter. Dave never ceases to amaze -- all the great ideas for theme sets that he's passed on over the years, yet he gets excited about something like this.

Greg tried to persuade him to play Queen's "It's a Kind of Magic", and Dave said "We don't have it, and it wasn't a hit in the US". So... if I won Request-O-Rama and asked for it, I'd be out of luck? Whaaa??

Lessee...besides the previously mentioned ONJ and Cars songs...

Magic-Pilot
Pinball *wizard* (what other wizard songs are out there?)
I Put a Spell on You
Season of the Witch


This is starting to sound a lot like the Halloween set...
Let's get right to it.

Indeed. I suppose Janet Jackson's "Black Cat" is too much to hope for...

maybe something from A Wizard, a True Star? :wink:

I'd be up for that, except I don't think there's a song by that name and I think it would go way over most Fogheads' heads.

On the other hand:

I have no idea what this Overture is--it sounds kinda like that cheesy Trans-Siberian Orchestra that comes around every December playing metalized Christmas music.

So... Dave isn't even a Harry Potter fan???  He knows "almost nothing about it"? WTF?  He needs to spend less time watching "Judge Judy" and more time, y'know, LIVING IN THE WORLD.

"Magic man" -- duh!

What a great idea for a special 10@10 theme (today)!!
For those of us Harry Potter fans, this is a really big day.
Now I'm eight bits...

I was hoping for Screamin' Jay, but we have to settle for CCR's "I Put a Spell on You". So VHM instead of BOS.

Well Peter makes up for it.  I called in this morning & we swapped theories about what will happen.

Mine: Snape is good (remember, he's the Half-Blood Prince, so I think Voldemort is responsible for his muggle mother's death, which is why Dumbledore never doubted his motivation), Dumbledore isn't really dead, but Harry WILL die at the end.

Peter: Prof. Trewlawney is a goner, and Harry will call in a long overdue depb from Peter Pettigrew. He didn't fully say so, but he seemed to be leaning towards Harry dying also.
