Mine was always:
"Oh is there not one maiden's breast
That does not flutter at my beauty"
I was convinced that those WERE the lyrics to the song for a while!

The entire song of "Bernadette Peters in Gypsy" was hilarious. I laughed so hard at:
Would you like to hear a little more of my Tony-losing performance? Ok! Here it goes!

2 come to mind
one from F.B. SVU (from i am unworthy of your words)
Teach me to. count in five... four.. time
The second is almost unequaled and it is from F.B. 1 (Angela Lansbury Sequence)
and there must have been a million bucks, the producers threw away. could we recoup one or two, if the show had run past labor day?
#18re: Favorite Forbidden Broadway lyrics????
Posted: 5/11/06 at 3:37amThe Gypsy one. I love it! The one from Wicked.
#19re: Favorite Forbidden Broadway lyrics????
Posted: 5/11/06 at 3:48amI have never seen Forbidden Broadway, but a few days ago I saw Forbidden Hollywood, and they did The Sound of Music, Part 2, and it was hilarious. The actors actually had to pause to control their own laughter.

The whole or Wickeder, especially the 'Strap me in a harness' part and 'you're losing your equlibram, that green paint's seeped in your serebrum'.
Also 'Do you hear the people sing, singing the new songs of Les. Even Andrew Loyd Webber wishes these songs could be his...' or something like that also the whole 'Julie Taymore' bit from The Lion King Segment and 'Don't Cry for Me Barbra Strisand'.

I haven't seen FB for about year, but I was literally in tears laughing during the "Bernadette Peters" segment and the Liza segment. The impressions were so exactly perfect that I truly couldn't breathe from laughter.
My favorite on that CD (that hasn't been mentioned) is Judy's ill-pronunciation in "Everything Old is New Again." Just hilarious!

The funniest number has to be the Light In The Piazza number.
I laugh so hard tears roll down my face.
This from someone who has seen FB over 60 times, NEVER WEAR MASCARA WHEN YOU SEE FB.
PS It is the best show ever written.

The line that always sticks with me is from "Who's Gay in Hollywood":
I am beginning to think there is a cure for homosexuality; a SAG card.
Who did the song again?*(Sorry I am having the mother of all brainfarts), She was brilliant in her impersonation.
