INTRODUCTIONS
How does this work?
Now is the time for your Jellicle to join in the fun of the Ball. Jellicles love to sing and dance and that is what this is all about! Your Jellicle joins in the singing, announcing their arrival to old friends and introducing themselves to new friends.
The song they sing is meant to be representative of them as a cat, as a Jellicle. You pick a song that you think describes your cat or that your cat might sing to announce themselves.
Rules!
- You cannot pick songs from the musical CATS
- Your song can be from any source and that source must be credited. Whatever artist, show, musical, etc.. so long as you keep the above rule in mind. You can make up your own song, if you like.
- Aside from being fun, each introduction will get you a raffle ticket (Mystery prizes)!
- Pairs and groups of cats may be introduced together, but it only counts as one raffle ticket. Limit yourself to one song/introduction per post, please!
- Lyrics need to be in your post to qualify, a link to the song (e.g. on youtube) would be nice but is not necessary. In group entries you may assign certain lyrics to certain cats but you do not have to work it out.
- Need help finding lyrics? Just type "Lyrics [SONG TITLE] [SONG ARTIST]" in google, it should help.
- KEEP IT PG-13! No songs full of rude or offensive words, please. Content of the songs is less censored, songs rarely mean what the words literally say but we accept that some songs may actually mean one thing but may apply nicely if taken literally. Or some songs may need to be looked at in a different way than literal or intended symbolic translations of it. Don't worry about it! It's supposed to be fun, just go with what makes sense to you.
- Raffle may be secondary to selection of favorites, put some thought into it and have fun! <3
Special
- Regular introductions should be in uncolored font (no color tags)
- After nominees are announced, introductions to them should be in red font. Do not introduce any cat you are entering in the Nominee Raffle until results have been rolled in case you need to take the nomination into consideration!

Song:Thats Not My Name - The Ting Tings(Because shes such a shy thing at first, but when she gets to know someone, shes not a quiet little girl - in fact shes quite the hoot to watch play around) Four little words just to get me along It's a difficulty and I'm biting on my tongue and I I keep stalling, keeping me together People around gotta find something to say now
Holding back, everyday the same Don't wanna be a loner Listen to me, oh no I never say anything at all But with nothing to consider They forget my name (ame, ame, ame)
They call me 'hell' They call me 'Stacey' They call me 'her' They call me 'Jane' That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name
They call me 'quiet girl' But I'm a riot Mary, Jo, Lisa Always the same That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name
I miss the catch if they throw me the ball I'm the last chick standing up against the wall Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring Getting clamped up and sitting on the fence now
So alone all the time and I Lock myself away Listen to me, I'm not Although I'm dressed up, out and all with Everything considered They forget my name (ame, ame, ame)
They call me 'hell' They call me 'Stacey' They call me 'her' They call me 'Jane' That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name
They call me 'quiet girl' But I'm a riot Mary, Jo, Lisa Always the same That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name That's not my name
Are, you, calling, me, darling? Are, you, calling, me, bird? Are, you, calling, me, darling? Are, you, calling, me, bird?
[continues with chorus overlapping]

Song:I'm Just Here For the Music - Paula Abdul(Dahli is more interested in being out and about, dancing around, palying, and making all the boys stare - even though she doesn't want a mate XD) Spinnin’ to this sound Like a record going round Must be the music We could be making out But all I really want right now Is just the music I’m only here to dance I’m not looking for romance So watch me work it I gotta get a fix Of my damn megamix So keep it groovin’
I’m just here for the music I really didn’t mean to turn you on (on) Boy you know I like the way you move it So if you wanna wait for me I’m gonna need someone to take me home (home)
I’m diggin’ on your scene But music gets the best of me I’m so addicted No need to save my seat ‘Cause I’m not gonna miss a beat I wanna freak it Your conversation’s fine But save it for some other time Not while I’m dancing Get with my gangster beat Do you know what I mean I wanna do it
I’m just here for the music I really didn’t mean to turn you on (on) Boy you know I like the way you move it So if you wanna wait for me I’m gonna need someone to take me home
I’m just here for the music I really didn’t mean to turn you on (on) Boy you know I like the way you move it So if you wanna wait for me
I’m gonna need someone to take me home I really didn’t mean to turn you on (on) I’m just here for the music Music Music I really didn’t mean to turn you on Music (music) Music So if you wanna wait for me I’m gonna need someone to take me home I’m just here for the music I really didn’t mean to turn you on (on) Boy you know I like the way you move it So if you wanna wait for me I’m gonna need someone to take me home

 (Only, Put this in terms for cats as I truly lacked a better song for her xD) Song:Perfect Isn't Easy - Bette Midler from the movie Oliver and CompanyGirl, we've got work to do Pass me the paint and glue Perfect isn't easy But it's me When one knows the world is watching One does what one must Some minor adjustments, darling Not for my vanity But for humanity
Each little step a pose See how the breeding shows Sometimes it's too much for even me But when all the world says, "Yes" Then who am I to say "No"? Don't ask a mutt to strut like a show girl No, girl, you need a pro
Not a flea or a flaw Take a peek at that paw La la la la Perfection becomes me, nest ce pas? Unrivaled, unruffled I'm beauty unleashed Yeah! Jaws drop, hearts stop. So classc and classy We're not talking Lassie
And Ah! Ah! Ooo. . .
Tho' many covet my bone and bowl They're barking up the wrong tree You pretty pups all over the city I have your hearts and you have my pity Pretty is nice but still It's just pretty Perfect, my dears Is me

  Song: ( Captain, a tattered, trouble-making stray, and Asphalt, a niave young mystic, arrive on the scene- slowly, for they sway and and stumble - encumbered by a heavy load of some bottles of alcohol they drag behind them that have been tethered together and dragged along in their mouths via some old rope. Smelling of sea-salt and brandy, it's of no surprise these two felines have just come from the harbor, falling under the influence of some seedier human tendencies...
Chip follows alongside. He being sober (by his own choosing and dismay), has taken it upon himself, after a chance meeting of the two drunkards tonight, to make sure they arrive home safely...
But he didn't anticipate they walk right into the Jellicle Ball...) Captain: "Oi!" Captain sways, offering a lopsided toothy grin to the other jellicles "singin' and dancin', eh? JELLICLE BALL?" Asphalt: "haha, Oi!" Asphalt says, proudly puffing out his chest in an attempt to appear more...Captain-like "JELLICLE BALL?" Chip: "Prejas...come on..." Chip offers an encouraging nudge his acquaintance Captain: "ohh simmer down..." he pushes Chip to the side "A JELLICLE BALL, EH? I DONE forgot, Been down by the docks for too long n' all, don't catch MUCH WIND of SUCH THINGS~. You stuffy jellicles, the lot of ya with your homes and canned meats... you know what you need?" A sinister twinkle penetrates through the drunken haze in his eyes... "You NEED, my lads- to- TO LOOSEN UP- have some alcohol, please, all of yas, let's break some- some emotional walls t'night and celebrate like what we were meant to do!" Chip: "PREJAS..." Captain, with Asphalt's help, begin to share their alcoholic drink with any jellicle wishing to partake...and then the song begins, with (hopefully) whatever drunken jellicle wishes to add their voice to the background alongside our main cats Captain and Asphalt: BLACKBERRY BRANDY - The Old Scratch Revival Singers (find it on the list and click the "play" button) EDIT: (APPARENTLY this only works for people in the U.S., or something-- I'm looking for the song on another site ATM XD but it's hard, haha. such an obscure song) CAPTAIN: Blackberry Brandy let me go, I don't need you anymore ASPHALT: Blackberry Brandy tastes so fine- mix an elixir I go crazy! CAPTAIN: Why can't nobody understand What Mr. Boss didn't mean? CHIP & CAPTAIN: ( Chip tries to restrain Captain from being a general degenerate ) Lord, I'm doin' all I can!! >n CAPTAIN: ( pushes Chip off of him ) Let me sink if you won't let me swim!! ASPHALT: We were gunna paint the town, but now everybody's fallin' down and too many meEeeEeEeeEmoriEeEes~ ( kicks over a bottle to let it pour all over the jellicles nearby and onto the street for them to lap up ) Slosh a little on the floor Ain't nobody here better open the door- CHIP & CAPTAIN: They'll see things they don't wanna see (Chip facepaws and shakes his head)CAPTAIN & ASPHALT: Blackberry brandy let me go, I don't need you anymore Blackberry brandy tastes so fine Mix and elixir I go craaaazzzyyyyyyyyyyy Chip finally manages to pin down Captain "okay! stop right now! Everyone- I- I'm SO sorry." "Oiy! I'm not!" Captain laughs. "just what the vet ordered in a- a- high-nosed congr-e- congregation such as what this is!" "yeah!" Asphalt chimes in before he succumbs to sudden vertigo and falls down"Well then I'll be sorry FOR you." Chip rolls his eyes "They're really very sorry." Chip addresses the crowd"Really."

Song:The Highwayman, written by Alfred Noyes, sung by Loreena McKennittThe wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon the cloudy seas The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor And the highwayman came riding, riding, riding, The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door. He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin, A coat of claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin; They fitted with never a wrinkle; his boots were up to the thigh! And he rode with a jewelled twinkle, His pistol butts a-twinkle, His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky. Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark innyard, And he tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred; He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there But the landlord's black-eyed daughter, Bess the landlord's daughter, Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair. "One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I'm after a prize tonight, But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light; Yet if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day, Then look for me by the moonlight, watch for me by the moonlight, I'll come to thee by the moonlight, though hell shall bar the way. He rose upright in the stirrups; he scarce could reach her hand But she loosened her hair in the casement! His face burnt like a brand As the black cascade of the perfume came tumbling over his breast; And he kissed its waves in the moonlight, (Oh, sweet waves in the moonlight!) He tugged at his rein in the moonlight, and galloped away to the west. He did not come at the dawning; he did not come at noon, And out of the tawny sunset, before the rise o' the moon, When the road was a gypsy's ribbon, looping the purple moor, A red-coat troop came marching, marching, marching King George's men came marching, up to the old inn-door. They said no word to the landlord, they drank his ale instead, But they gagged his daughter and bound her to the foot of her narrow bed; Two of them knelt at the casement, with muskets at their side! there was death at every window, hell at one dark window; For Bess could see, through the casement, The road that he would ride. They had tied her up to attention, with many a sniggering jest; They had bound a musket beside her, with the barrel beneath her breast! "now keep good watch!" And they kissed her. She heard the dead man say "Look for me by the moonlight, watch for me by the moonlight I'll come to thee by the moonlight, though hell shall bar the way!" She twisted her hands behind her, but all the knots held good! She writhed her hands till her fingers were wet with sweat or blood! They stretched and strained in the darkness and the hours crawled by like years! Till, now, on the stroke of midnight, cold, on the stroke of midnight, The tip of one finger touched it! The trigger at least was hers! Tlot-tlot! Had they heard it? The horses hoofs ring clear Tlot-tlot, in the distance! Were they deaf that they did not hear? Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the brow of the hill, The highwayman came riding, riding, riding! The red-coats looked to their priming! She stood up straight and still! Tlot in the frosty silence! Tlot, in the echoing night! Nearer he came and nearer! Her face was like a light! Her eyes grew wide for a moment! She drew one last deep breath, Then her finger moved in the moonlight, her musket shattered the moonlight, Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him with her death. He turned; he spurred to the west; he did not know she stood bowed, with her head o'er the musket, drenched with her own red blood! Not till the dawn he heard it; his face grew grey to hear How Bess, the landlord's daughter, the landlord's black-eyed daughter, Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness there. And back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs in the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat. Still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees, When the moon is a ghostly galleon, tossed upon the cloudy seas, When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, A highwayman comes riding, riding, riding, A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.

 Song: Open up your mind - Mirai ((This song is from the anime Saiyuki, the lyrics are translations )) Even when it seems that nothing can go right and you want to just give up, if you close your eyes, you can see the world from your heart. In this world when life can be so tough You must be strong Just believe in yourself and don't you fear So open up your mind and close your eyes Take another look from the other side Even on a lonely night, when you wander afraid, you may be alone now, but your feet can take you however far you want to go, so Just hold on tight, because if you close your eyes, look inside yourself, there's a shining light there. Yes, I want you to believe in everything. You can take another look from the other side Just hold on tight, even if your heart is breaking. Reach into your soul, even if you can't see tomorrow. Yes, if you have the strength to live, You can take another look from the other side, until you find all that is love... I wish for you to have the strength to make it through this world, so open up your mind, [1] and you'll be able to see... Just remember you are not alone So don't you fear Even though you're miles away I'm by your side So open up your mind and close your eyes I'll be there for you no matter where you are The stars may live for a long time, but that doesn't mean that the same days will repeat over and over forever. Noone can see into tomorrow. Just hold on tight, because if you close your eyes, look inside yourself, you'll feel a heartbeat. Yes, I want you to believe in the future. You can take another look from the other side. Just hold on tight, even if your heart is breaking. Reach into your soul, even if you can't see tomorrow. Yes, there's another world out there. You can take another look from the other side, and you'll be able to find all that is love... Just hold on tight, because if you close your eyes, look inside yourself, you'll feel a heartbeat. Yes, I want you to believe in the "future." You can take another look from the other side Just hold on tight, even if your heart is breaking. Reach into your soul, even if you can't see tomorrow. Yes, there's another world out there. You can take another look from the other side, until you find all that is love...

((The song isn’t so much an introduction for Vulf, its more him telling a story. I couldn’t resist using this song for Vulf though since it’s sung by Jack Wild and the music really fits Vulf as a character. That, and its about fish so it felt appropriate xD hopefully my introduction helps it all to make more sense lol))Vulf appeared seemingly out of nowhere and padded happily into the middle of the junkyard. After a quick glance around he sat up and promptly began licking his paws, he knew it was his turn to introduce himself but he had a better idea in mind. “You know” he began, “I reckon most of you know me already… and those of you who don’t, ain’t probably that interested” he rubbed his paws over his nose and whiskers quickly, licking his lips before he spoke again, “I’ve just had the best meal of me life” he grinned and padded around in a circle to pass a glance at any and all of the Jellicles who may be watching him, “I just met a human who runs the finest Fish shop in all of London!” he listened for the faint scoffs of the unconvinced Jellicles around him, and just grinned widely; happy to have gotten their attention so quickly, “It’s true! Folks tend to call him “Uncle Henry”… Here, let me tell you ‘bout him”Song: Fish And Chips - Jack WildMy Uncle `Enry's got a shop down the `Igh Street With marble on the counter and a big glass door My Uncle `Enry's very famous down the `Igh Street So let me tell you what `e's very famous for. `E found one day `is customers was getting' thin They'd pass `'is fish and chip shop and they'd not go in So Uncle stepped outside, threw back `is `ead and cried In a voice as loud as sin……….Oh `Addock or Cod or Sprats or `Ake, Filleted Dover Sole Kippers or Scampi, Plaice or Skate, Mackerel by the shoal I tell yer ev'rythin's fresh and newly fried `Ot to the finger tips, You've never eaten till you've tried Ol' `Enry's Fish and Chips! Oi! Soon, Uncle `Enry was attractin' a crowd there, All sorts of funny people like you never saw! Course when they `eard me Uncle shoutin' out aloud there, They came to see what all the blinkin' noise was for. From Acton Town to `Ackney Wick an' all around, They flocked to Uncle's like it was a football ground. A fish `e didn't sell, but still they paid `im well, Just to `ear `is great new sound……….Oh! `Addock or Cod or Sprats or `Ake, Filleted Dover Sole Kippers or Scampi, Plaice or Skate, Mackerel by the shoal I tell yer ev'rythin's fresh and newly fried `Ot to the finger tips, You've never eaten till you've tried Ol' `Enry's Fish and Chips! Oi! Now Uncle `Enry's clientele, they inform us, Includes eleven Ministers an' one MP. Dukes and their Duchesses in numbers quite enormous, An' chinless Debs `oo dend you up the family tree! When questioned by reporters on `is great success `E never makes a speech, `e Merely says "I guess It's just because me voice is everybody's choice Would you like to `ear it?" [Random Jellicles:] ………Yes! (Spoken ) "I thought you might" `Addock or Cod or Sprats or `Ake, Filleted Dover Sole Kippers or Scampi, Plaice or Skate, Mackerel by the shoal I tell yer ev'rythin's fresh and newly fried `Ot to the finger tips, You've never eaten till you've tried Ol' `Enry's Fish and Chips! Oi! (Fast) `Addock or Cod or Sprats or `Ake, Filleted Dover Sole Kippers or Scampi, Plaice or Skate, Mackerel by the shoal I tell yer ev'rythin's fresh and newly fried `Ot to the finger tips, You've never eaten till you've tried Ol' `Enry's Fish and Chips! Oi! Ev'rythings fresh and newly fried Hot to the finger tips. You've never eaten, Never, ever eaten, Till you've tried those can't be beaten, Uncle `Enry's Fish and Chips.

((Just pretend wherever it says "Alice" it's actually saying Blossabelle, or Belle xD)) Song: Welcome Queen Alice – Alice in WonderlandTo the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said ‘I’ve a sceptre in hand, I’ve a crown on my head; Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be, Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me!’ Then fill up the glasses as quick as you can, And sprinkle the table with buttons and bran: Put cats in the coffee, and mice in the tea- And welcome Queen Alice with thirty-times-three! ‘O Looking-Glass creatures,’ quoth Alice, ‘draw near! ‘Tis an honour to see me, a favour to hear: ‘Tis a privilege high to have dinner and tea Along with the Red Queen, the White Queen and me!’ Then fill up the glasses with treacle and ink, Or anything else that is pleasant to drink; Mix sand with the cider, and wool with the wine- And welcome Queen Alice with ninety-times-nine! ♥ heart ♥
