See Through Lead
song for a musical theatre version of Megamind
(Metro Man sings See Through Lead after he explains to Roxanne and Megamind how he faked his death.)
lyrics:
METRO MAN: I have eyes that can see
Right through lead
But I gave it all up
To sing insteadI used to spend my time fighting a supervillain
But punching giant robots never felt fulfillin’
So I came up with a brilliant plan
I faked my death and now they call me
Music Man!

You know, I’ve really been thinking—it’s time for the Overlord to retire.
(The members of the Doom Syndicate all laugh menacingly, then exit.)
Nice Guy
song from Megamind the Musical
(Hal sings this when he gets home to his apartment after being hit with the DNA infusion.)
lyrics:
HAL:
Can she seriously not take a hint? I mean, how many times do I have to ask her out before she gets it? What, is she really still hung up on stupid Metro Man? Yeah, okay, he died, and it was like, sad and whatever. But come on! It is soooo obvious that I’m the one she should have been with all along!
WHY DO HOT GIRLS
ONLY LIKE JERK DUDES
I’VE PUT IN THE WORK, DUDE
I’VE BEEN, LIKE, A GOOD FRIEND
COME ON ROXAROO
HAVEN’T I BEEN THERE FOR YOU?
NO ONE ELSE CARES FOR YOU
LIKE ME
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
NICEST GUY YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
BUT I’M IN THE FRIENDZONE
WHY CAN’T YOU COMPREHEND
WE ARE MEANT TO BE
YOU ARE MEANT TO BE WITH ME
COME ON ROXY CAN’T YOU SEE
YOU’RE MINE
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
AND I’VE SHOWED IT
SO I’D SAY I’M OWED IT
AND I’M GETTING TIRED OF THE WAIT
MILADY’S A COQUETTE
STOP PLAYING HARD TO GET
IT’S TIME TO PAY THE DEBT
YOU OWE
YEAH, I’M A NICE GUY
NICEST GUY YOU’VE EVER KNOWN
BEEN IN THE FRIENDZONE
I’D SAY I DESERVE AT LEAST A DATE
I’M SO STEADFAST
I’VE ASKED AND ASKED AND ASKED
BUT NICE GUYS FINISH LAST
ALWAYS
AND I’M A NICE GUY
SUCH A NICE GUY
THAT HAS TO BE WHY
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
WELL, ROXY MAYBE I
SHOULD STOP BEING NICE—
Oh, I’m totally kidding; totally kidding! I would never do that!
‘CAUSE I’M A NICE GUY
Anyone Can Be A Hero
song from Megamind the Musical
(Roxanne and Megamind–in disguise as Bernard–sing this at the Metro Man Museum.)
lyrics:
MEGAMIND:
…heroes can be made.
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
That’s it!
MEGAMIND:
IT’S SO SIMPLE
ROXANNE:
IT’S SO SIMPLE
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
SO VERY SIMPLE
MY EYES HAVE BEEN UNCLOUDED
AND I’M SUDDENLY SO SURE
MY THOUGHTS WERE LOST
IN ENDLESS DARKNESS
BUT YOU’VE LIT MY MIND ON FIRE
AND NOW IT’S WORKING BETTER THAN IT EVER HAS BEFORE
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN SAVE THE DAY
I WAS LOST, ALONE, IN DARKNESS
BUT NOW I REALLY THINK THAT I CAN FINALLY SEE MY WAY
MEGAMIND:
Heroes can be made! All you need are the right ingredients!
ROXANNE:
Yeah! Bravery—
MEGAMIND:
Yes!
ROXANNE:
Strength!
MEGAMIND:
Of course!
ROXANNE:
Determination!
MEGAMIND:
Imperative!
AND JUST A LITTLE SMIDGEN
OF THE FORMER HERO’S DNA
I’LL MAKE A HERO
ROXANNE:
I’LL BE A HERO
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
MY OWN HERO
ROXANNE:
SOMEONE HAS TO STOP HIM
AND THAT SOMEBODY IS ME
MEGAMIND:
What?
ROXANNE:
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
EVEN SOMEBODY LIKE ME
THERE’S DARK AND EVIL ALL AROUND US
BUT I CAN BE THE LIGHT OF CHANGE AND SET THE CITY FREE
MEGAMIND:
Yes!
ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT
MEGAMIND:
YOU CAN DO IT
ROXANNE:
I CAN—
You—you really think so?
MEGAMIND:
Of course you can, Roxanne!
ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT
MEGAMIND:
YOU CAN DO IT
ROXANNE:
I CAN BE A HERO
MEGAMIND:
BE A HERO
THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
BECOMES THE HERO THAT I NEED
I WAS FEELING LIKE A FAILURE
BUT WITH A HERO LIKE ROXANNE
MY PLAN CANNOT HELP BUT SUCCEED
ROXANNE:
I’ll find out what Megamind is up to—
MEGAMIND:
—I should have most of the equipment already in the Lair—
ROXANNE:
—I’ll figure out how to stop him—
MEGAMIND:
—I’ll start work on the formula tonight!
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ESPECIALLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU
BRAVE AND SMART AND SO DETERMINED
YOU’RE A HERO THROUGH AND THROUGH
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN HEED THE CALL
I WAS LOST, ALONE, IN DARKNESS
BUT NOW YOU’VE SHOWN ME THE LIGHT
AND I’M NOT LOST AT ALL
ROXANNE:
IT’S SO SIMPLE
MEGAMIND:
YOU CAN DO IT
ROXANNE:
I CAN BE A HERO
MEGAMIND:
THE PERFECT PLAN
ROXANNE:
I CAN DO IT
MEGAMIND:
THE CITY’S HERO
ROXANNE:
I’LL BE A HERO
MEGAMIND & ROXANNE:
MY OWN HERO
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN BE A HERO
ANYONE CAN
Path We Choose
song for Megamind the Musical
(Megamind, the Chorus, and all other characters sing this at Megamind’s presentation as the Defender of Metro City.)
lyrics:
MEGAMIND:
ALL MY LIFE
I BELIEVED IT
WHEN THE WORLD SAID
THAT EVIL WAS MY DESTINY
FOR SO LONG
MY MIND’S BEEN SHACKLED
BUT I’VE CAST OFF THE CHAINS OF LIES
NOW, I AM FREE
ALL:
YOU CAN BE A HERO
YOU CAN BE A HERO
IF YOU LOOK INSIDE
YOU’LL FIND THAT YOU ARE GOOD
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA DO THE THINGS
YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD
MEGAMIND:
I HAVE LIVED
WITHOUT HOPE OF RESCUE
ACCEPTANCE OR FORGIVENESS
OR REPRIEVE
FOR SO LONG
I THOUGHT I DESERVED THAT
BUT MY MIND IS FREE NOW
AND HERE IS WHAT I BELIEVE
ALL:
YOU CAN BE A HERO
YOU CAN BE A HERO
THIS BATTLE YOU ARE FIGHTING
CAN BE WON
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA MAKE IT
YOU ARE GONNA STEP OUT FROM THE SHADOWS
TO THE SUN
MEGAMIND:
I’VE BEEN PUSHED DOWN
AND THE WORLD HAS TOLD ME
THAT I DIDN’T DESERVE
ANYTHING MORE
BUT I’M THROUGH
I’M THROUGH WITH FALLING
THIS TIME, OH, THIS TIME
I’M GONNA SOAR
ALL:
THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US
THE WORLD MAY BE AGAINST US
BUT THIS IS NOT A FIGHT THAT WE
ARE GONNA LOSE
FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN
FATE IS NOT THE PATH WE’RE GIVEN
DESTINY’S THE
PATH WE CHOOSE
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
!!! AAAAHHHH I AM SO EXCITED!!
OKAY SO–
You may recall me talking about how I was working on a script for a musical theatre version of Megamind.
I am VERY PLEASED to announce that the script is COMPLETE and that it is going to be UNVEILED at Mega Camp, where we will be doing a READING of it!! The reading is happening Sunday night at 7:30pm!
Now, in order to make the reading as enjoyable as possible, I need your help!
During the reading, I need volunteers to help by playing the parts. A script reading is much more informal than an actual performance, so there’s no need to be nervous; the emphasis here is on having fun. It’s going to be more like a game rather than a show.
Each participant will get a script, and they will read their lines from the script during the reading as they act out their parts. So there’s no need to worry about memorization. The songs, too, are very simple; I wrote them so that they are easy to sing.
There are lots of parts–all of the characters from canon, plus some characters from the Doom Syndicate: Hot Flash, Lady Doppler, Psycho Delic, and Destruction Worker. Not to mention the brainbots and the random citizens!
I’m going to post all of the songs, so that you all can hear them ahead of time–everyone is invited to sing along with the chorus parts.
Again, do not feel worried about having any experience with acting, or about whether you’re “good” at singing–this is all about having fun! And if you’re shy, there is always a place for you as a citizen or in the brainbot swarm!
I’m going to be playing Megamind, but all of the other parts are open.
If you are interested in playing, please let me know, and I will send you the script, so that you can read it ahead of time and feel more comfortable.
I am really proud of this script, and I am so excited to share the musical theatre version of Megamind with you all!

And we’re back on track! The theme for July by majority vote is Electricity!
Remember this can be fanart, fanfic, photo manipulations, claymation, poetry, aesthetics posts, ANYTHING as long as it fits the Megamind-verse and the theme.
Now go forth and create!

I want October to be “Megamind Month”. Who’s with me?
We shall have fic and art in Megamind Month (October). This seems as good a time as any to start on prompts.
Let’s make this happen.
oooh I like this idea! @lygrim, you’re still running the @t-umblr-mind blog, right? maybe you’re interested in this!
I can definitely get behind this idea. Perhaps we could have a prompt calendar for the month.
Metronites, hit my inbox if you have any suggestions.
Ok, resaw this and suddenly got inspired. This is by NO means meant to replace anyone’s suggestions for prompts – throw out anything for better ideas!
I specifically included multiple “variations” (most just my brain leaping to connections) to create lots of ideas for each, and to encourage creativity in interpretation. Only three are tied to specifc days (in bold), the rest are numbered just to make sure I came up with 31.
