What song lyrically (or because of the action occurring at the time) just split your sides with laughter?

Mine would have to be

Master of the House - Les Mis
and
If You Got It - The Producers

what about the rest of you?

I I laughed at this when I first heard the Les Miserables CD..


I thought Javert said:
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the butt
We'll be ready for these school boys
They will wet themselves.. la la

But it was suppossed to be:
When One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these school boys
They will wet themselves.. with blood!

EAsy mistake.. someone starts sing right after "wet themselves"

Springtime for Hitler from The Producers. I don't think any other song has ever made me laugh that hard. I'm mean, EVER.

Oh, and Keep It Gay. I didn't think it was possible to have that many gay stereotypes on stage at the same time.

"I I laughed at this when I first heard the Les Miserables CD.."

that's all well and good, but not quite what I was getting at.

What song is that? Is it on the highlights CD, I want to find it.

Also, you've probably heard this before, but when I thought in 42nd Street they said in Shuffle Off to Buffalo, "First you serve them with some p**is..." But I think this is more about funny lyrics rather than misheard.

I do actually sorta get a kick out of the scene when they are heckling Marius about being in love during "Red and Black"

"I am agog...I am aghast
Is Marius in love at last?
I've never seen him ooh and aah..
you talk of battles to be won
and here he comes like Don Juan,
it's better than an opera."

I think it's bad timing. For example, when he goes "They will wet themselves with blood," "blood" is cut off a bit by someone else's singing, and it sounds like "la".

And of course bud sounds like "butt."

Misheard lyrics are funny.

Virgil, I love you!

In a musical revue show, I did "Tina's Mother". I distinctly remember forgetting "I could have been an office girl, a wizard at dictation..."

I second "Master of the House"

Also, Urinetown, where they discuss the "organs" and other such things.

In the movie theater song from "I love you, you're perfect, now change" when he says the line about wanting to see a chainsaw. My whole family lost it about then.

No, Javert's part in ODM was most definitely not misheard. Philip Quast, when singing, pronounces every "d" that ends a word as a "t". You will notice it in Stars also.

I think Popular is hysterical, especially at "did they have brains or knowledge, don't make me laugh, they were popular!"

Joshua Noveck is also really funny if done right!

Yes, I agree, lol. There is a double meaning in that little discussion between Bobby and Miss Pennywise, depending on which way you take it.

The song Another Dead Cow from Bat Boy is HI-larious here are some of the words for those who don't know it: (They're speaking of the dying cow epidemic in their town)

Bossie's thin as a fishin' pole!
Bessie's flat as a flounder
Little Bonnie, god rest her soul
was barely one quarter-pounder!

Sweet Jesus now I'm Petrified!
They gonna repossess my double-wide!

Got another dead c...
Got another d...
Got ano...
Guh...


SOOOOOOO Funny when done live!
