Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds/Awesome

"Artilleryman: We'll build shops and hospitals and barracks right under their noses - right under their feet! Everything we need - banks, prisons and schools... We'll send scouting parties to collect books and stuff, and men like you'll teach the kids! Not poems and rubbish - science, so we can get everything working! We'll build villages and towns and... and... we'll play each other at cricket! Listen, maybe one day we'll capture a Fighting Machine, eh? Learn how to make 'em ourselves and then wallop! Our turn to do some wiping out! Whoosh with our Heat Ray - Whoosh! And them running and dying, beaten at their own game! Man on top again!"
 * The Artilleryman's plan to rebuild society underground- unrealistic sure, but the sheer enthusiasm and gusto in his voice gives this troper goosebumps:

"Moving swiftly through the waters
 * Thunderchild. Floating silently while the Tripods wade out to sea to block off escaping steamer ships. "Then with a deafening roar and whoosh of spray, it swung about and drove at full speed towards the waiting Martians."

Cannons blazing as she came

Brought a mighty metal War-Lord

Crashing down in sheets of flame

Sensing victory was nearing

Thinking fortune must have smiled

People started cheering

'Come on Thunder Child'

'Come on Thunder Child'

Becoming such a threat sees it promptly destroyed, as the steamers escape to sea."
