Beckham: The Musical?

File this one under Really?!?! or Now That's Just Plain Silly!: A London paper is reporting that a librettist has taken to writing a musical for London's West End about soccer god David Beckham's life. Mark Archer, the hopeful in question, has included choice lines about Beckham's "aspirational fable" of a life such as:

On meeting Posh:

A change has come around,
As I worship this ground,
With you in my life,
We’re turning the world upside down.

Or, even better. On Manchester United's support through the "difficult times:"

You make me feel so strong,
Because I belong.

Is this a joke? Seriously? But before you Beckham heads (or musical theatre geeks ) have a conniption, settle down. This 'goal' is still simply just an idea. Archer will meet with West End producers this week to discuss further possibilities. My only question is: Who will play Beckham, and will he have as, er, soft a voice?

I'm a hot Brit
I'm young and I'm fit
The girls and the gays
Are all in a daze

'Cause I am David Beckham
Above one and all styles
I go home a Spice
And she never smiles...

can u imagine??
