heh, strikes me as a pretty trippy show altogether. Maybe it's not all supposed to make sense. :-P

when i first got The Last Five Years I totally thought I was losing my mind. When Norberts all like

"No, that one's Jerry Seinfeld

That one's John Lennon there

No, the Dakota

The San Remo is up a few blocks

Have you been inside the Museum?"

I was really freaking confused

From GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES:

"I think affairs that you must keep masonic
Are the better bets

If little pets get big baguettes."

HUH? I know it takes place in France, but what in hell is she talking about?
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

I guess it isn't really lyrics because they're spoken words in the middle of the song, but I don't like this line from Fire Within Me from Little Women:

"Only Beth, sitting contended, said in a tone so sweet even angels would have listened"

I don't get it. Of course, angels would listen to Beth because they are good by nature. It would make more sense to me if she said: "even the devil would listen"

Maybe it means she was so good she could have directed the angels. *shrugs* I dunno. But that line always makes me cry. I think it's the way Sutton delievers it all weepy-sounding. *tears up*

Speaking of LW, it always bugs me when in "Our Finest Dreams" Jo says, "but we must promise, no matter whatever happens". UGH! Make it "no matter what happpens" or "whatever happens" but NOT both!
