What should be next?
Timeless To Me (Ednas part)
I Wanna Be A Producer
La Vie Bohem
I can picture them all.
I could see him doing Wicked... like something happens to the actress while she is Defying gravity
"I'll never forget the creepy old man singing "Somewhere That's Green". I laughed so hard it hurt."
Me too!!!
Peter: ...Like that time I was in Wicked.
Cut to Peter, "It's me you want! It's me!" and...the lift won't work because he's too fat. Or maybe he goes up but his pants get caught on something.
Okay, not great, but I wanted to post it.
ANYWAY! The American Dad episode with the "Dance: Ten; Looks: Three" parody is "Big Trouble in Little Langley".
i havent read the entire thread so sorry if this is a repeat but they put on the king and i and peter goes, "if i wanted to do a bad show i would have done rent"
also theres the episode where stewie is teaching Eliza to speak proper english and they sing "the life of the wife is ended by the nife" aka "the rain in spain stays mainly on the plane"

There was one episode where they went to see Phantom and the Phantom was singing this spoof of Music of the Night. Peter starts yelling, "Show us the gross half of your face! Take off your mask and show us the gross half of your face!"

argh, thanks to Family Guy we had to Shipoopi (the family guy version) as the opening number of our Christmas review, and by the looks of things the director got most of the other songs through what he knew from family guy
O yeah, plus we had the Family Guy theme tune as the Overture
I can;t remember if is from the Simpsons or Family Guy: "You are the worst thing to happen to musical theatre since Andrew Lloyd Webber!"
But, i do love the line from the Simpsons when the alien asks for tickets to Aveune Q!
To clarify a post from earlier in the thread, the "FCC Song" is set to "Volunteer Fireman Picnic" from TAKE ME ALONG.
has family guy ever made fun of rocky horror? I feel like that would be a good one.
On a more recent episode of american dad, there was a scene, in which roger (the alien) was dressed up as olivia newton john from xanadu, performing on a cruise ship. i guess it pertains more to the movie, but i found it hilarious, nonetheless.

I actually did hear something about seth macfarlane really liking broadway and thats why there always are those ref.s
My two favorite references were the "Somewhere That's Green" parody and Peter's performance of "Shapoopi".
I enjoyed the episode where Brian and Stewie parody a Bing Crosby/Bob Hope buddy movie, too. [The name of the episode escapes me at the moment].
"Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, men recognize that the human race has been harshly treated but it has moved forward." - Les Miserables
tonight's episode (a repeat) featured joe, quagmire, cleveland, and peter performing "good mornin" (singin' in the rain)
One was in Petearded they sing a spoof of "Goin' Steady" called "He's Reatarded"
Another was in 8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter where Stewie and Brian were at a performace of Les Mis and they announced Jean Valjean was to be played by Kirk Cameron (Mike from Growing Pains) Stewie responded with "Oh My God. It's like what are you doing tonight? Seeing Kirk Cameron as Jean Valjean in Les Mis"
I just saw an episode where the Mother has been left a very huge ‘guest house/mansion’. And when they move into it, they do a total send up of “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” from ‘Annie’. I think the new title was “My God, This House Is Fricking Great”.
I also loved it when Stewie sends up William Shatner’s ‘Rocket Man’ (although not really a show tune…)
I know I don't post here often, but I had to join in on this conversation.
Saying that, I CAN'T believe no one has posted this yet. I can't remember why or what was happening...but something bad was being done in front of an audience..and all of a sudden a guy stand up and screams:
"THIS IS WORSE THAN SEUSSICAL!!!"
gets me everytime.
What about the "Brand New Day" parody (The Wiz) in the episode, Barley Legal. Its on youtube somewhere. I was laughing so hard, It hurt.
I enjoyed the episode where Brian and Stewie parody a Bing Crosby/Bob Hope buddy movie, too. [The name of the episode escapes me at the moment].
That would be "Road to Rhode Island".
In one episode Stewie mentions when he toured Europe in the musical version of "My Left Foot", then you see him on a stage in a wheelchair doing a tap-dance with his left foot.
And in another episode, Peter mentions having been in a musical version of "Red Dawn" and sings about being a "Wolverine".
I still say Peter should be Edna one of these days. It would be hillarious.

There was a second "Road" episode in which Stewie and Brian end up in the Midddle East. "Road to Baghdad" maybe?
I found a few
One was the one where the town does Toad he sings "Just give it up" to the tune of "Your'e the one that I want"
Another in the same episode was when Stewie said "I'd do stuff differently if I was Oliver Twist." Then to the tune of the Oliver musical underscore he asked for me (in the same Mark Reed way) and then threatend to shoot Mr. Bumble and made him put on a dress.
Last was where Petetr sings a song I don't know but sounds familar. It's the song that starts at 33 seconds in this clip http://youtube.com/watch?v=z4LpsV9vqLk
here is a link to the american dad episode that references xanadu...
link to entire episode
What is the freaking FCC song tune of? What broadway show is it from?
There's "some" musical reference in nearly every episode whether it's a joke, musical cue or whatnot.
