Most episodes of Glee had at least some minimal theme, and some were centered around a strong theme like a particular artist (Madonna, Lady Gaga).
If you could theme your own episode of Glee, what would you choose? Feel free to simply list simple ideas, or if you like you can get into playlists and who sings what, etc.
Mine:
Angry chick rock - obviously some Alanis, maybe even a whole episode just for her Jagged album, but maybe some Ani DiFranco, etc…
Just for laughs: a very special “misheard lyrics” episode! Featuring “Blinded by the light” and “Red Bedletter” amongst others…
Maybe an episode solely of decent showtunes.
Lesbian folk rock. Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, K D Lang, Jill Sobule, Disappear Fear, etc…
Various holiday themes - Valentines, New Years, Winter holidays, etc.
En Español! Juanes, Shakira, Mana, Michel Erextun, hey maybe even some Ricky Martin and other classics…
Superintendant Bobbi Glass decides to visit the Glee club, while she is there she tells Mr Shue about some former students of hers, and how they can help the Glee club
Acoustic, which means not just no electronic instruments but NO AUTOTUNE!
The return of Neil Patrick Harris
A Jesus Christ Superstar episode
Guest appearances by Brian Stokes Mitchell and Matthew Broderick as Rachel’s gay dads
A flashback to Sue’s prom featuring her parents (R. Lee Ermey and Georgia Engel) and the guy who stood her up (played by Matthew Morrison) and a revenge that would make CARRIE look like an angry poem published in the school paper.
Michael Urie from UGLY BETTY as the neurotic driving instructor Mr. Lynde
a Rat Pack episode
Puck learns one of the lonely housewives he’s been shagging (Sutton Foster) is Mrs. Figgins
If they even thought about bringing Sutton Foster on as a guest star I’d be so there…
There was a recent Sally Forth strip in which her strangely feminized husband Ted rhapsodied about a possible all-ELO episode of Glee. I’d go for that…they could bring back Olivia Newton-John and do the Xanadu songbook! (Have they done “Evil Woman” in reference to either Terri or Sue yet?)
Okay, death metal is really not the kind of music I’m interested in. That said, I think it would be absolutely hilarious if the Glee cast had to cover some death metal music. Growling and all.
That would be awesome. I can envision Kurt doing something like that.
A former lead Cheerio (Britney Spears) who was Sue’s greatest student ever and who was her right hand ‘man’ when she was in school gets a job as cheerleading coach at another high school with Sue’s help, then delivers Sue’s first major defeat at the first meet twixt the Cheerios and her squad (Snap-Crackle-Pep).
Any excuse to see Artie dance, be it dream sequence/temporary miracle cure/robot legs/LSD trip/or whatever. And give Harry Shum/Mike Chang some dialogue for Og’s sake: I was beginning to wonder if he had a speech impediment or too think to be understood Sino-Spanish accent until I saw him on an interview show (speaks fine), but the guy dances like he was born without bones.
