This filk of "C'est Magnifique" from Cole Porter's 
"Can-Can", titled "C'est Gigantique", is just silly, but it tickled 
me.  Italics are indicated by asterisks (*) before and after the 
relevent phrase.

The original music can be heard here:

I dedicate this filk to Neil Ward, in memory of an interesting and 
pleasant correspondence over a year ago (which has nothing to do with 
this filk).
             
                  C'est Gigantique  

SCENE:  Madame Maxime sings a paean to her new beau from Hogwarts.

MADAME MAXIME:
When he walks by
He looks me in the eye.
Oo la la la
*C'est Gi-gan-ti-que.* 

With grace and force
He tames my winged horses.
Oo la la
*C'est Gi-gan-ti-que.*

I do not ask;
He shows me the First Task.
Oo la la la
It is such *ma-gi-que.*

And best of all,
He whispers,  
"HEY, OLYMPE, SHAKE A LEG!  WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR THE BALL!" 
*C'est Gi-gan-ti-que.*
