I've already got a couple of key scenes in mind. One is where the CEO of GlobaCorp is sitting in his office, lamenting the fact that he is only worth half a billion dollars. The song is set to the tune of "What kind of Fool am I" but the song is called "What kind of Man am I". Some of the lines talk about how he is only worth one-hundredth as much as Bill Gates, therefore he is only one-hundredth the man that Bill Gates is, and how outsourcing jobs is the only way he can hope to catch up.
One of the final scenes is of a former factory worker who is now working the counter at Burger Hut, set to the tune of "Ring Christmas Bells". The lyrics go "Ding, fries are done, Ding fries are done, I used to work in factories, now I sell fries, and apple pies. Now I sell fries, now I sell cokes, repeat myself, until I choke. My job has gone, to India, my life has gone, in tha' dumpah. Ding, fries are done, ding, fries are done."
No, I'm not kidding. I'm working on the libretto as I write this. It's gonna be GREAT! But it needs a better title...
