I don't often get full songs stuck in my head, but one particularly alliterative or catchy line? All the time. So if this happens to other people, what's stuck in your head?
My current example: "While he was working on a film on Ancient Rome / He made the slave girls take the gladiators home." - My Husband Makes Movies, Nine
Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you.
--Cartman: South Park
ATTENTION FANS: I will be played by James Barbour in the upcoming musical, "BroadwayWorld: The Musical."
Does "da-da-da-dum" count? (cause I say that all the time!)
Also-"my gawd"
"A birdcage I plan to hang. I'll get to that someday. A birdcage for a bird who flew away...Around the world."
"Life is a cabaret old chum, only a cabaret old chum, and I love a cabaret!"-RIP Natasha Richardson-I was honored to have witnessed her performance as Sally Bowles.
This past weekend, I had the lyric "He answered duty's call" stuck in my head. It took me a long time to remember it was from "One More Angel in Heaven" from Joseph...Dreamcoat.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
"Jerry has a new girl every night and not a one of them has cellulite." Grey Gardens The way Mary Louise sings that just hooks in my brain. It's "gonna be here for years and years and years!" :)
"The sexual energy between the mother and son really concerns me!"-random woman behind me at Next to Normal
"I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello
I've had "Hey, Hey, Shiksa Goddess, I've been waiting for someone like you" stuck in my head all morning...
Call the understudy / I can't go on tonight / I'm drinking with my buddy / I'm getting good and tight / Before they raise the curtain I'll be higher than a kite / So call the understudy
I can't go on tonight
My bird is about to learn Lizzie's "You ride in your bright shiny wagon" verse from "You're Not Fooling Me" in 110 In The Shade because I've been singing it ever since I got the cast recording on Thursday. He's actually getting pretty good. :)
Experience live theater. Experience paintings. Experience books. Live, look and listen like artists! ~ imaginethis
LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!
"Its from the rear you'll hear: I ain't down yet."
Unsinkable Molly Brown
And you think of all of the things you've seen, and you wish that you could live in between ,and you're back again only different than before...
After the Sky.
-Into the Woods (Jack)
Currently Move from Dreamgirls. The chorus is constantly in my head.
You know, ma'am, ? there's nothing I wouldn't do for you. ,If there was a monster or an ogre or anything bad like that wot was after you, I'd rip it apart with my bare fists, I would. - Sweeney Todd
"Statue, statue, you are through" from the CAROLINE, OR CHANGE Epilogue.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
The one line that has stuck with me since I first saw this show years ago in London (with The Dame herself -- Miss Dench)
"To Flirt with rescue when one has no intention of being saved"-- from A Little Night Music.
It is one of those lines that haunts me to this day.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
There are many times when I go into older buildings in NYC and start thinking "Up a steep and very narrow stairway" from ACL.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
Lately, it's "Blah blah blah" in "Totally F*cked" in from "Spring Awakening." I don't know why, really. Maybe the tune's just catchy.
"Movies will make you famous; Television will make you rich; But theatre will make you good."--Terrence Mann
"Pretty much...if you've seen any shows that have a jerk boyfriend in that show...I'm that guy."--Richard H. Blake
Diane: Aww, you are such a chick flick. I would totally pay $12 to see you. (Kristin Chenoweth on "Ugly Betty")

Every time I watch Angela Lansbury in Sweeney Todd I end up with "Where are you hiding? Nothing's gonna harm you, darling, not while I'm around... demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays..." from when Mrs. Lovett is under the bakehouse stuck in my head.
"I'm seeing the LuPone in Key West later this week. I'm hoping for great vocals and some sort of insane breakdown..." - BenjaminNicholas2
Not so much a lyric as a line of dialogue, but from Amy and Bobby's exchange right after "Getting Married Today":
"You need to want to marry SOMEbody.. not some BODY."
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
