What Broadway song was that parodying? Or was it...I assumed it was, because most of their songs are.

I'm not sure if it was a direct parody, but it reminded me of "Why Can't The English?"
And, like all their other musical numbers, it was sheer briliance...

I love that Seth McFarlane is a huge broadway nerd (or so it seems...he would have to be to know some of the things he parodies).

Have we ever made a list of all the shows he's used? If not, we should do that, it would be hours of useless fun...atleast for me.

Oh, he is totally a Broadway nerd. One more reason I love him so. That and his unbelievably sexy voice...
