"While you've been away cavorting..."

Honestly who says cavorting?

[BSoBW2]

I say cavorting....

poo-poo means jinx. I agree also about the Charlie Brown line, it's so simple but who really thinks like that? It's so true and really poignant, in a childlike way

before you poo-poo it means think before you turn it down....

"Let's Play a Love Scene" from Fame. I truly love the song and the musical, but it's the song's awfully cheesy.

I never said they had to be from "good" shows look in my opening post.


"Uh, Nessa" rhymes with "confess a" I agree thats just silly.

Yes, Carnival. The fact that this naive girl believes these puppets are people...Cheesy? Or just stupid.
Love the show, though. I had lots of fun in it.

Most all of the lyrics in Wicked.

Who says "tandem"?

i say the lyrics from Wicked are cute, but Cheezy has to go to almost ALL of Cats!

I agree, alot of the lines from Wicked (Confess=Ness, Berries, Melons and Pears oh my!) but overall I loved Wicked's lyrics. They are touching in a kind of simplistic way. And I love RENT to death but for some reason, the way Anthony says "Pookie" during the Tango: Maureen on the soundtrack just makes me cring every time.

Tandem...actually, I used that word over the summer when I went to Wildwood and they had Tandem bicycles.

And "Who says Tandem?"

The same people that say Confucifying, Congratulotations, Disgusticified, etc. Hello! You're in Oz!

Another line form rent. happy spring" when rogers walks out on mimi right before "without you".

Rent:
"i hate the Fall"

"If you're so wise why do you need smack?"

Actually, there's so many more, but I can't think of them all right now.

[BSoBW2]

I say tandem - and hear it all the time....


and it isn't berries, melons, and pears - now THAT sounds silly

[Dreamcatcher]

Posted: 1/30/05 at 7:05pm

I agree, "I'll call, I hate the fall."

I don't like in the middle of "Johnny Can't Decide" in Tick Tick Boom, when he says "I want to write music." etc etc. I don't know why, but with the emotional music playing in the background, that speak-break is just like syrup to me.

I also don't like the line in "Schadenfreude" when they say "Watching actors never reach the ending of their oscar speech!" I never found that incredibly miserable.

Falsettos...

"What More Can I Say" - beautiful song, but some of the lyrics make me not want to like it.

"What Would I Do" - same thing goes with that one.

Finn, is a great musician, but not the best lyricist.

"Looking at Whizzer is like eating Trafe" - The WORST line in the show, only because he has to find something to rhyme with Safe. He is no Sondheim.

Happiness is one of my favorite songs. It's supposed to be sung in a child like manner and that makes it sweet and it fits. I don't think it's awkward at all.

and agree with the Wicked and RENT lyrics that have been mentioned. I adore RENT but some lines do make me wanna cringe.

[playbill_signer_05]

Posted: 1/30/05 at 9:11pm

I ALSO must agree with the poo-poo line in RENT. Um...

[Joshua488]

Posted: 1/30/05 at 9:36pm

"Happiness" is definitely a cheese-filled song. Imagine having to sing it with all seriousness on stage in front of people. Yeah. I should have won a f*cking Tony for that.

I actually like WICKED's funky rhyming. I just forgot the name of it; the weird rhyming has a literary name, but I can't remember it!!

Cheesy line that always irked me: "Now life is free and easy, much more philosophy-zy..."

Oh, by the way, what do you mean, "Who says 'tandem'?" It's not like that is an uncommon word! People work "in tandem"; I don't use the phrase every day, but it's definitely not uncommon. Updated On: 1/30/05 at 09:36 PM

"Trace- I wanna kiss ya" "Then I can't wait for parole!" -Hairspray

Don't know why but that has always irked me.

eh, i'll go along with the "poo-poo" line, but what's wrong with the "happy spring" and "i hate the fgall" lines? I like those, I like that they set up what time of the year we're in.

I have to agree with pretty much everything from CATS....but now that damn Jellicle song is stuck in my head!! heeeeeelp!!!!
