Trivial Pursuit #81

We've had two threads today about the "Liza With a Z" TV Special--so here goes.


Liza's opening number in that special is "Yes."


What Broadway Musical is that song from?


GOOD LUCK, Everybody!!! Trivial Pursuit #81

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

I thought Kander and Ebb wrote "Yes" specifically for "Liza With A Z"?
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

Well, unfortunately no, Jailyard... would you care to try again? re: Trivial Pursuit #81

Another nice try melissa...


This one's pretty tough, I'll be the first to admit...

Seventy Girls, Seventy?
I'm guessing it is that or Flora, the Red Menace.
Or The Happy Time.
Hell, I dunno. Skip me.

70 Girls 70

You're right Priest!

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

Well, 1/3 right, I guess. re: Trivial Pursuit #81
All I did was spurt out Kander and Ebb shows, so it wasn't really a legitimate answer.

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

Is it horribly wrong that I want to have Stick To Priest's baby?
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

"Hell, I dunno. Skip me."

Why would I want to skip YOU, Priest?


Your FIRST answer--70, GIRLS, 70 was 100% ABSOLUTELY Correct! re: Trivial Pursuit #81


CONGRATULATIONS!


YES, the song "Yes" was featured in the short-lived Kander and Ebb musical 70, GIRLS, 70--Minnelli loved it and heard and decided to use it as the opening number for "Liza With a Z"!

What is this, Priest, your 999th win or something??? re: Trivial Pursuit #81


Now for your bonus points:


What is the plot of the show 70, GIRLS, 70?

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

Elderly residents of a SRO hotel in Manhanttan plan a robbery.
#12

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

Can I answer?

It's about retirement home residents who become shoplifters.
#13

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

That's a good Cliff Notes Version, Jose', but could you be just a little bit more detailed for us?

Thanks!!! re: Trivial Pursuit #81

#14

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

Yep, Jose's and melissa's answers are pretty much the core of the plot...

70 GIRLS 70 was about the elderly residents of an Retirement Hotel who rob minks and diamonds because 1) they want to prove that just because they're old--they're not weak and feeble; and 2) for the sheer excitement of it!!! re: Trivial Pursuit #81

BTW, Welcome to the Trivial Pursuit Winner's Circle, melissa! re: Trivial Pursuit #81


Well, looks like I have a three-way tie on my hands today (Priest, Jose', melissa)--but don't worry! I have PLENTY of prizes!!!


You all get the same thing: coffee--in a cardboard cup! re: Trivial Pursuit #81


Enjoy your weekend, folks!!! re: Trivial Pursuit #81

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

"Yes":

Yes, say "Yes"
Life keeps happening ev'ry day. Say "Yes"

When possibilities come your way
You can't start wondering what to say
You never win if you never play. Say "Yes"

There's mink and marigold right outside
And long white Cadillac you can ride
But nothing's gained when there's nothing tried.

Say "Yes"

Don't say "Why"?
Say "Why not"?

What lies beyond what is, is not

So what

Say "Yes" yes

Yes, I can
Yes, I will
Yes, I'll take a sip
Yes, I'll touch
Yes, of course
Yes, how nice
Yes, I'd happily thank you very much Yes
Oh yes

There's lots of chaft but there's lot's of wheat
say "Yes"

You might get mugged as you walk the street
But on the other hand you might greet that handsome stranger you have longed to meet
Say "Yes"

Yes, I'll walk
Yes, I'll look
Yes, I'd love to do such and such
Yes, I'll try
Yes, I'll have dare
Yes, I'll fly
Yes, I'll share
Yes, I'd happily
Thank you very much
Yes, oh, yes, oh, yes

You can't look back on a chance that's lost.
Say "Yes"
The dice mean nothing unless they're tossed
The throw is usually worth the toss
The hop op summer denies the frost
Say "Yes"

Yes, I am
Yes, I'll be
Yes, I'll go
Oh, yes
Yes
Yes!

Oh THANKS melissa, the weather in Dallas is one of the main reasons why I left the Northeast... re: Trivial Pursuit #81

Dallas weather is just crazy.
It was in the 30s and 40s just the other day....

But FAR better than Boston, Priest (I went to Boston University!) -- where they have snow on the ground from October to April... re: Trivial Pursuit #81


By the way, are you enjoying your coffee?

Nope.
It's all about NYU or Columbia.

Both Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II went to Columbia...

re: Trivial Pursuit #81

"Columbia, The Gem of the Ocean" is a song we used to sing often in elementary school chorus.

the trouble with the world today is plain to see,
coffee in a cardboard (cardboard) cup (cup)

the trouble with this helter skelter (sp?) world we live,


aw f*ck it! i made an attempt at the lyrics
