Three Melodies

How it Works

Ask for 2 occupations. Then do a 4-beat scene as follows:

  • Player 1 sings about how great and satisfying her job is, but she's missing something critical, or has a minor little problem with it (melody 1)
  • Number 2 does the same (to a second melody)
  • Both characters meet in a bar, complaining about their problems. They summarize their problem in one line each (to finish their song), something like "I got plenty of x but I'm missing y"
  • Then they solve each other's problem (fitting each other's x to the other's y), they do this in a duet to a third melody.
