    Goonies the Musical, Part 2 - Tubes!

    By AuthorRob Dean On DateMonday, January 18, 2010 at 4:00PM

    Here's another video for the musical I've created with my collaborator, Keith Doughty, based on The Goonies.  We got mentions in /Film, Topless Robot, JoBlo.com, Cinematical, FilmDrunk, The Nerdist, Fandango, HeyUGuys!, IMDB - so that's awesome.  Here's one of the videos, for "Tubes."  Lyrics and a recap of background info on the project after the jump!

    In 2001, my college buddy, Keith Doughty, and I began working on a musical based on the seminal 80s film The Goonies.  I had been raised on that film, quoting from pre-adolescence onward.  I identified with the asthmatic protagonist who didn't fit in with others, especially his older sibling. 

    I was watching it for probably the thousandth time during one vacation, when the scene where Mikey is alone on the porch comes on and with it came inspiration.  For the unfortunately uninitiated, The Goonies is about a bunch of kids who live in rural/suburban Oregon and are about to lose their houses so businessmen can build golf courses there.  Well, the evil businessmen clad in khaki deliver some papers for Mikey's dad to sign.  Everyone leaves the porch except for Mikey, who just stays there and looks out into the distance.  That was the moment I realized he should be breaking into song. 

    Alack alas, I suck at musical things.  I know how shit should be structured and sound, but I can't play any instruments and I'm mostly tone deaf.  Enter Keith Doughty - brilliant musician and fellow nerd.  This is a guy who can transcend all genres and also knows his way around a large assortment of instruments - truly impressive.  He and I began crafting many songs together (although as the years wear on and we fade into grayness, our output has steadily declined).

    Lyrics:

    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes

    Theres a pirate ship.

    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes

    Theres a pirate ship

    Theres a pirate ship around the bend
    And I dont know if this tube will end
    But as long as youre sliding with me
    Im as happy as anyone could be

    Goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes

    Theres a pirate ship.

    Hold my hand, just go with the flow
    Life is short, its over before you know
    So lay back, and enjoy our slippery slope
    Scream your head off, and dont you let go

    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were Goin Down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were goin down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes
    Were Goin Down
    Tubes, Tubes, Tubes

    Theres a pirate ship!
