[FILK] Rich Death Eater's Son

[Lilac]

[Note: I heard this song on the radio the other day, and when I heard the first line, "When I’m a walking, I strut my stuff..." I immediately thought of Draco strutting around the school like he owns the place. The next day, I read on an interview that Daniel Radcliffe is really into original punk music nowadays, and my mind immediately went back to this song. Now technically, the Violent Femmes aren’t exactly "pure punk" – more like a punk/folk-music fusion with lots of good, old-fashioned angst– but I considered them to be "punk" when I was in Junior High and High School. Oh well, for what it’s worth, here it is...]

 

RICH DEATH EATER’S SON

THE SCENE: (COS) Malfoy, with Crabbe and Goyle walking behind him, is strutting around the dungeons on his way to the Slytherin common room, acting like he owns the school. Malfoy is the lead singer (of course), Crabbe is on guitar, and Goyle is on the snare drum, which is strapped around his thick neck like he’s a drummer in a marching band. 

MALFOY:

When I’m a walking,

I strut my stuff

‘Round these dungeon halls.

Girls on the stairs

Can’t help but stare

‘Cause I say with a drawl,

 

"Check me out, ladies!

I’m a rich Death Eater’s son.

Check me out, ladies!

I’m one cool Slytherin."

 

Since I was one,

Dark Lord’s been gone

But Dad’s still a D.E.

Helps that we had

Such a nice pad and

Vaults with lots of money.

 

Outta my way,

I’m a rich Death Eater’s son

Outta my way

Pure-bloods this school will run!

(Musical interlude...Malfoy smirks at all of the Slytherin girls, making each of them swoon. Crabbe and Goyle get a chance to show off their musical "talent" -- the term "talent" being used loosely here -- on their respective instruments.)

 

(Quietly singing to just Crabbe and Goyle)

Those stupid twins

Say with big grins

Potter’s Slytherin’s heir. 

That’s so untrue!

Wish that I knew

Who is really the heir.

 

(A little quieter)

Dad said to stay 

out of his way,

Keep my bloody mouth shut.

But if I knew him,

Then I could help him

Get rid of wizard mutts.

 

(Whispering)

School’s full of danger;

Hope that it’s Granger

Next in line to get stoned.

Tut! What a shame

To see her name

Etched upon a tombstone!

 

(They arrive at the common room door. Not wanting to wait behind the crowd of Slytherins slowly shuffling in, Malfoy shouts loudly...)

Outta my way,

I’m a rich Death Eater’s son!

Outta my way,

I’m one cool Slytherin!

(Everyone moves to let them through first.  Crabbe and Goyle continue to play while Malfoy struts his stuff for all he's worth all the way up to the boys 2nd year dorm room.)

I say so in Year with the Yeti."         --Gilderoy Lockhart, COS
