On the Road is NOT Americana. Kill me now. Ugh.
I like Carousel. It's depressing and it has pretty music. Good enough for me.
I actually like the whole Rodgers and Hammerstein cannon. I think Rodgers was a great musician. I like some songs better than others o'course, but I really can't think of a show I dislike (if I'm familiar with it).
A musical of On The Road. Icky.
He invited us in and we sat
on his only Japanese tatami mat
While he told us buddhist haiku.
And when he reached the last line
Somebody brought out the wine.
Which was our cue to get stewed.
The next day, I went mountain climbing.
Because it's what my girl wanted to do.
BEATNIK DANCE BREAK!
Or was that Dharma Bums? Yes... I know that was neither funny nor did it rhyme :P
Really though, can you imagine?
"Oh, my name is Jack.
Jack-Kerouac!
When I was young
There was a lack
Of direction in my life,
So with just my sack
And the shirt on my back
I set out On The Road.
On the Road!
On the Road!
My name is Jack-Jack Kerouac!
And I am On the Road.
Oh I like to read and write about anything in sight.
And I take loads of speed because it helps to keep me up all night.
Going tic-a-tac-tic-a-tac on my borrowed type writer
I'm gonna be a great writer!( This is the Beatnik tap dance sequence)
I am Jack-Jack Kerouac!
And I---
Am---
On---
The---
Rooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaad!
Kerouac!"
Cue The Lion King BOOM musical button.
Okay yeah. Time for bed.
