"Love Is My Legs": Spoof?

Posted: 8/23/06 at 12:01am

Saw the DRS tour this past weekend and enjoyed it (Norbert's great!).

"Love Is My Legs" cracked me up. I know it's supposed to be a spoof of some famous love song, but I can't put my finger on which one. Can anyone help?

It's spoofing love songs in general.

"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

I'm sure it is, but to me, it's just a spoof on every uplifting, gospel-choir-miracle-worker love song in history. :)

I definitely thought Norbert was going into his "Roger" voice for this one. And THAT cracked me up.

It is a spoof of sorts, yes- like "making fun of" ALL I ASK OF YOU from PHANTOM or, say, LAST NIGHT OF THE WORLD from MISS SAIGON.

THE SONG THAT GOES LIKE THIS from SPAMALOT is also like this

"TO LOVE ANOTHER PERSON IS TO SEE THE FACE OF GOD"- LES MISERABLES--- "THERE'S A SPECIAL KIND OF PEOPLE KNOWN AS SHOW PEOPLE... WE'RE BORN EVERY NIGHT AT HALF HOUR CALL!"--- CURTAINS

I took it more as a spoof of 80s mainstream pop love ballads rather than 80s Broadway pop love ballads, but I guess there's not a huge difference, is there?

"If there is going to be a restoration fee, there should also be a Renaissance fee, a Middle Ages fee and a Dark Ages fee. Someone must have men in the back room making up names, euphemisms for profit." (Emanuel Azenberg)

Yeah, I found it to be a parody of a mainstream 80s ballad as well. It's quite funny.
