Big Inspiration Challenge at TV_Universe!

[catko]

We got a lot of inspirational prompts for this challenge, but the one that got me was to pick a song for our inspiration. I was at the time obsessed with a kids' album that we grew up with, and recently dusted off for our nephews, Through Children's Eyes by the Limeliters. (And here at Amazon. Read the comments!) I especially love Morningtown Ride, written by the amazing Malvina Reynolds, and the lovely imagery of singing a kid to sleep with the idea of getting on a rockin'. rollin', ridin' train "bound for Morningtown, many miles away." To connect it to something TV related, well of course, I went with Glee.

Picspam and Drabbles: Here's how and who I imagined doing the songs.
(Fic will go here.)


















Fanmix: Of course it wouldn't be fair to just do the original album, so I looked for other versions, some of which are kind of wonky. LOL. Just imagine the Glee kids singing...


1. This Train -- Mumford & Sons and Edward Sharpe
2. Marty --  Play School
3. Hey Jimmy Joe John Jim Jack -- The Original Broadway Cast of Let It Ride!
4. Morningtown Ride -- The Irish Rovers
5. Join Into The Game -- The Weavers
6. I Had A Mule -- Rosalie Sorrels
7. Lollipop Tree -- Burl Ives
8. Tingalayo -- Raffi
9. The Riddle Song -- Sam Cooke
10. Stay On The Sunny Side -- The Limeliters
