The Story of The Tangerine Toad
It is the story of what happens after boy meets girl. The songs were inspired by  a modern-day fairy tale that went something like this (some species were changed to protect all involved):


Once upon a time a beautiful princess kissed a toad, and he turned into a handsome prince.

THIS is the story of what happened afterwards.

You see, the un-toading process was still in its infancy then and, well, certain "complications" arose.

It was noted that the prince, while he was handsome, had retained several toad-ish traits that got on the princess' last nerve.

For example, toads are carefree things, hopping around the pond all day. Nary a care in the world. While princesses need   to  see  elaborate  plans,  flawlessly  executed  to  bring adventure, mystery into their lives. That and to rescue them from one dragon or another.

Also, toads are very musical creatures, singing their  songs the whole night long. Its just what they do. And this is just what  caused  the  next  "snag". You see, after those long nights on the town, princesses  need  their  beauty sleep.  Its  just  what  THEY  do. (This allows them to be ready for a good rescue effort at the drop of a tiara).

Alas, things were not very quiet in the lair. And it wasn't long before someone (we believe the neighbors) suggested they seek counseling.

Trouble is, the only qualified couples therapist in the phonebook was The Wicked Witch on the hill. And, as you may recall, this whole toad "thing" started after a row with the witch.

Needless to say, they would have to make peace before asking for help.

Now it turns out the witch had gone legit, and was an in-demand Hollywood therapist, living in a luxury condo on the East side, and had replaced the nose wart with a nose ring.

After initial negotiations, both parties came to an agreement. The royal pair agreed to acknowledge the witch's new role; to drop the use of the adjective "wicked"; and to never mention that nose wart again.

The witch, in return, agreed to accept them into couple's therapy.  And  so  it  began. The witch was very good at this stuff, and soon they reached a compromise that was agreeable to all.

The  witch  would  cast  a new spell  that would make them
more compatible and bring great happiness.  And, as these things often work, it would take effect from the very next kiss.

Meanwhile, trouble is brewing at a large downtown media center.  The  presses  are about to be stopped for a major announcement from the most powerful man in the land, the  CEO  of  Bullion  Corp.  . . .
