We're Going to Be In a Movie
This song was written in 1970-72 for Inter-Action. It serves as a parade theme for the play, Epic!, and is designed to draw children in to participate while also introducing the basic premise: the creation of a film, which they can feature in. No recording of the song is known, but it was later amended and recorded as "We're Going To Make A Circus", where it can be heard in essence. The song bears resemblance to the popular "One Finger, One Thumb".

"'We're Going to Be in a Movie' is the parade song to gather children for a game play in the streets celled 'Epic!' This participatory play has the children being extras for the great cheese-paring producer Mogul Mogul Junior the Second (whose theme song is Money Money Money) and his wizard director Samuel S Spider, as they plan to remake the history of the English Civil War in Super 8mm, with two actors. The play also involves the older children in actually shooting the film on the automatic camera, as their younger brothers and sisters act away with Charles and Cromwell." - LR (That's Not the Way It's Got To Be (songbook), 1974)
