A.I. - the Music Video
by Joshua Falken
=====
Dedicated to Matrix Refugee and Ista Dreamer
=====
    The auditorium is dark, with four figures with their backs turn to us,
backlit by a blue light. One figure at left side is behind a keyboard, another
at right side is behind a percussion. In center stage, there is a tall man
holding a guitar and a child. They began to play. A spotlight ilumines the
child, who turns. It's David, holding a microphone:

David:
  A.I., A.I!
  Coming your way.
  A.I., A.I!
  Creating for your music
  Changing your day.

    Now the tall man turns. It's Joe.

Joe:
  Connecting people far and near!

   Now another spotlight ilumines the keyboardist: It's Jane:

Jane:
  Spreading the data loud and clear!

David, Joe and Jane:
  A.I., A.I.!
  Our time is HERE!

    Another spotlight reveals the percussionist: Monique, the Mecha-Nanny,
smiling and fully restored. Joe moves closer to Jane:

Joe and Jane:
  Serving the Orgakind,
  Holding the world together,
  Keeping record of thier history,
  But beware with the stormy weather!

David:
  A.I., A.I.! has info to share
  A.I., A.I.! sending out the truth over the air

Jane:
  When a story makes its bow

Joe:
  We find out who, why and how!

David, Joe and Jane:
  A.I., A.I., our time is NOW!

David:
  All the discoveries that we find and say
  All the news that we gather night and day

David, Joe and Jane:
  A.I., A.I., we're here to STAY!

   The four Mecha bows to the audience and the lights go out.

-> "Somebody Else"
based on "Somebody Else" by Bleu - From the "Spider-Man"
soundtrack
filk by Joshua Falken

What if I was on-line?
What if I wasn't wired so tight?
What if I had to be reconfigured?
Would you still look at me like that?
Would you be mad that I had reboot the old me back?

Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me

Maybe I was too much
Maybe I'll reset down a notch
Maybe I'll have the guts to crash
Maybe I'll broke me up real bad
Maybe I'll make you wish you reboot the old me back

Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me

What if I can't remember who I'm trying to be?

Why can't I be somebody else?
Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
Just me...

-> David's Touch
based on "The Touch" by Stan Bush, from "Transformers: The
Movie" Soundtrack
filk by Joshua Falken

He got the touch
He got the power

After all is said and done
He'd never walked, he'd never run,
He're a winner

He got the moves, he knows the woods
Discover the rules, take the heat
He was nobody's fool

He was at his best when when the track gets rough
He've been put in danger, but to put back it's never enough

He got the touch
He got the power

When all the hope's breakin' loose
He will be riding until the End of the World

He got the heart
He got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
He got the touch

His hope never crashes, his hope never broke
He seem to know just what it takes
He is a fighter

It's in the circuitry, it's in the will
It's in his kind hands of steel
When he is searching for his dream

And he never give up when his back's to the wall
Gonna try until the end and he is takin' it all

He got the touch
He got the power

When all the hope's breakin' loose
He'll be riding until the End of the World

He got the heart
He got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
He got the touch

He is fightin' fire with love
He know he got the touch

He was at his best when when the track gets rough
He've been put in danger, but to put back it's never enough

He got the touch
He got the power

He got the touch
David got the power

->Blue Fairy
based on "Hero" from Spider-Man Soundtrack
filk by Joshua Falken

I am so wired, I can access heaven
I am so wired, I can access heaven
Whoa, but heaven...no, heaven don't upload me

And they say
That a blue fairy could change us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the network
Watch as we all are activated.

Someone told me
Love would all save us
But, how can that be
Look what love gave us

A world full of crashing
And mecha-smashing
That world never came

And they say
That a blue fairy could change us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the network
Watch as we all are activated.

Now that the world isn't shutting down
It's love that I'm imprinting in you
It’s in the love of a blue fairy
And that's why I fear it won't do

And they say
That a blue fairy could change us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the network
Watch as we all are activated.

And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all are activated.

->Artificial Intelligence Theme
based on "Pokémon Season 1" Theme
Filk by Joshua Falken

I want to be the very best
Like no one ever was
To understand them is my real test
To protect them is my cause
I will compute across the Net
Searching far and wide
Thorugh the Artificial Intelligence to understand
The power that processes inside! (Power inside!)

Artificial Inteligence!
It's you and me.
I know it's our destiny!
Artificial Intelligence!
Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend!
Artificial Intelligence!
A heart so true
Our computations will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Artificial Intelligence!
(Gotta reboot 'em) Gotta reboot 'em Gotta reboot 'em all!

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will process everyday
To reset my rightful place!
Come with me the time is right!
There's no better team
Arm in Arm we'll find the file!
It's always been the Three Laws's dream!

Artificial Intelligence!
It's you and me.
I know it's our destiny!
Artificial Intelligence!
Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend!
Artificial Intelligence!
A heart so true
Our computations will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Artificial Intelligence!
(Gotta reboot 'em) Gotta reboot 'em (Artificial Intelligence!)

Artificial Intelligence!
It's you and me.
I know it's our destiny!
Artificial Intelligence!
Oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend!
Artificial Intelligence!
A heart so true
Our computation will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Artificial Intelligence!
(I'll reboot you!)
(Gotta reboot 'em) Gotta reboot 'em Gotta reboot 'em all!

He acts like a prince,
If you know what I mean
But he's in for a big surprise (What is he?)
He thinks he's the nicest
But I'm not impressed
And I'm gonna crash him down to size (What is he?)

What is he anyway?
He ain't so fine (What is he?)
What is he anyway?
What's he got that's better than mine?

Love and obedience, and child-like love
Is all he talks about (What is he?)
I can't cope with all his heart tuggin'
It makes me want to scream and shout (What is he?)

What is he anyway?
He ain't so fine (What is he?)
What is he anyway?
What's he got that's better than mine?
(What is he anyway?)
What's he got that's better than mine?
(What is he anyway?)

Love Connects Us
based on "Love Unites Us" by Jem and the Holograms
filk by Joshua Falken

We come from different worlds,
Different working matrixes
Yet there's something we share,
We both care
What we share is me and you

Love (Love) Love connects us
Whoa, Love (Love) joints us together

One likes the silicon,
The other likes the blood
Here beneath the stormy sky,
You and I
We share and we are one

Love (Love) Love connects us
Whoa Love (Love) joints us together
Love (Love) Love connects us
Whoa Love (Love) forever and ever

Though we are in differents sides of the assembly line
Love connects us and deletes the gap

Love (Love) Love connects us
Whoa Love (Love) connects us together
Love (Love) Love connects us
Whoa Love (Love) forever and ever
Love!
