I love "Company" but I hate all the spoken lines in "Being Alive." In fact, I probably hate them that much more because I love the musical so much.

toanythingtaboo, the 'sooner buy defying gravity' is playing of the previous line of 'so if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost'. I actually like that line, though I know a lot of people think it's stupid.

"I wish I had taken more pictures" During I Wish i colud go back to college from Avenue q. It brings the song to a screaching halt

"Hey Eponine! What's up today?" bugs me no matter who is playing Marius. There's just no way of making that line work.

I have two:
"We have ways of making you vote for us, or at least from making you abstain."
-A New Argentina, EVITA.
I absolutely HATHATEHATE this line. But I put up with it to hear Patti's phenomenal belting.
"You saw beyond all the the blonde to my mind."
-Take It Like A Man, LEGALLY BLONDE
Now really a bad line, but Laura Bell sounds like she says "Be-hond" and it really irritates me.

The only lyric that comes to mind that truly bugs me is from Spelling Bee...
"Because losers do not know how to win."
Yuck. Otherwise, what a brilliant show.

Really? I love that line. It's such a poignant little moment; I find it brings the song to a touching pause rather than a screeching halt.

Perfectly Marvelous-- When Andrew Call played Marius at the Signature Theatre, he pronounced it like, "Hey, Eponine... 'sup today?" and sounded bizarrely gangsta. After that line, his Marius was the most inhibited, awkward, and nerdy that I've seen (by the way, I thought he did a GOOD job), and it was such a weird, jarring contrast.

From 'The World Has Gone Insane' (Jekyll and Hyde). I think this song was cut, thankfully.
"The world has gone insane!
And parasites are eating at my brain!
And nothing is the way it was before!
A pack of wolves is howling at my door!"
The rest of the song is of the same quality.
From West Side Story, 'Jet Song' - it really doesn't sound as tough as it should! Sounds like some kids in a treehouse.
"We're drawin' the line, so keep your noses hidden!
We're hangin' a sign, says "visitors forbidden",
and we ain't kiddin'!"
'Cool':
"Boy, boy, crazy boy,
Get cool, boy!
Got a rocket in your pocket,
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don't get hot,
'Cause man, you got
Some high times ahead.
Take it slow and Daddy-O,
You can live it up and die in bed!
Boy, boy, crazy boy!
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it.
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go,
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy.
Just play it cool, boy,
Real cool!"
Spelling Bee - 'The I Love You Song'
"Blame it on your daddily and mammily
'Cause depression runs in our family."
And a couple of rhymes that really annoy me:
Parade - 'Come Up To My Office'
"I know this new dance that they're doin' in Manhattan
I'll get you dancin' like you've never done before
And I'll give you things that they sent me from Manhattan"
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - 'Give Them What They Want' - the rhyming of "Zaa ba zoovie" (or whatever) with "In a movie"!

I never really liked the line:
"What's the matter with you Cossette, have you been too much on your own.."
I always thought that MAYBE they are trying to foreshadow "On my Own"?
It just sounds like the kind of sentence structure my zaida would use... "have you been too much on your own?" {said in old-Jewish-man-voice}

The line I hate is from Rent
"Excuse me if I'm off track,
But if you're so wise then tell me
Why do you need smack?"
Agreed a thousand fold.
Also I hate a lot of Schwartz' lyrics. As much as I love him... just. Not good.
From TL5Y (Nobody Needs To Know)--
Come back to bed, kid. Take me inside you...

But older doesn't rhyme with bi-polar.
Also that bowler line is funny.

^When a word is repeated for no reason it's just lazy and ridiculous.
Example: Out of the Blue from Lippa's Wild Party "I think we're due for a party. Don't You? (I do!) Party! Party, party! Party!"
really...do you need to say party five times? (someone needs to count how many times the word party appears in that show)

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
