"It's FUCKING ABOUT FILIAL PIETY," he yells. "NOT FEMINISM."

....Honestly this story is really confusing and Masozi feels like he's missing enough context that he can't follow it. He leans his head on Wen Ning's shoulder and closes his eyes and half-listens while half starting to doze off. 

"If we start a war with Shanghai over the plot of Mulan we will get in SO MUCH TROUBLE," Silas says, "and also be dead."

Julia ignores Silas, as everyone should. 

BE A MAN We must be swift as a coursing river

BE A MAN With all the force of a great typhoon

BE A MAN With all the strength of a raging fire

MYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! 

Oh, well, this means war. 

"Jiang Cheng! Nie Huaisang! Stop making out, we have to beat New York."

"In absolutely no sense do we have to beat New York."

"No, I'm with him, we have to beat New York. What are we beating New York at."

"Singing Disney songs! They think they can beat us."

.....Okay he's awake. What are they doing now. 

"Pocahontas?"

"Pocahontas."

What can you expect

From filthy little heathens?

Their whole disgusting race is like a curse

Their skin's a hellish red

They're only good when dead

They're vermin, as I said

And worse!!!!!!!

"Shut up," someone yells from across the hallway.

At first it is hard to hear them over the clamor of Mulan but when it finishes and New York stops for more mocktails it's very audible.

"....what song is that?" asks Silas.

"Dunno?" says Julia. "......seems kind of racist, though. Maybe they're singing it ironically."

"Being ironically racist is still being racist," says Fiona. 

Masozi also thinks this song is kind of weird and unpleasant? He doesn't know it anyway so he isn't singing along. 

Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang, Wei Wuxian, and Wen Ning (singing very quietly and barely contributing at all to this project) finish Savages, Savages and then go into Colors of the Wind.

"I will pay you to shut up!" says the person across the hall.

"What??? No one offered to pay us to shut up!" says Chloe indignantly. 

            "It's because we're not racist!" says Julia. "And because we're good at singing."

"For eight thousand dollars, I will stop," says Magnus, and bursts into giggles. 

"Strong mocktails, I see," says Silas dryly. 

            "I think we will simply have to drown them out," says Julia. "What's everyone's favorite Disney song."

"Part of your world!"

          "Too serious. Sounds like we're conceding something."

"When will my life begin -"

         "Same problem."

"Out There, from Hunchback -"

         "Too obscure for a singalong and also, wow, you guys are Mr and Ms Depressing tonight, all right, what's your favorite Disney song that's not about being trapped staring out at the world wishing we could be part of it."

"A Whole New World," says Rebecca. 

         "Thank you! Does everyone know that one -"

"Let it Go!"

        "- right, yes, that's it, of course, I'm an idiot. Let It Go! All together, now, one, two, three, four -"

"You know, it's not Mulan."

"We have achieved victory! By reminding them that Disney also makes stupid inaccurate movies about Americans."

"But we've still got to outsing them."

"Obviously."

"We should do The Lion King! For Masozi."

There are three valiant attempts and one not-so-valiant attempt at Swahili. 

New York finishes Let It Go and moves on to A Whole New World. Rebecca wants a virgin Pina colada and Julia tries the spell eight times before she gets anything vaguely coconutty.

"We could sing The Lion King with them!"

"No, that would be GIVING IN. They'd think they were WINNING."

"What bad thing happens," says Silas, "if Shanghai mistakenly thinks -"

"SHUT UP, MOM," Julia and Chloe and Magnus chorus in unison.

Masozi knows none of these songs and it’s kind of hard to follow either of them when they’re both happening at once. He will halfheartedly ooh along once he’s half picked up the notes. Some Malawi-folk-music-style harmonies make it in after a while.

Masozi….does not speak Swahili. It's related enough to Zulu that he can soooort of recognize it and figure out why they said 'for Masozi', but it's also pretty mangled and he cannot actually understand any of it.

He can do enthusiastic harmony as soon as he figures out where the song is going, though! It is somewhat more enthusiastic than on-key.
