I don't often get full songs stuck in my head, but one particularly alliterative or catchy line? All the time. So if this happens to other people, what's stuck in your head?
My current example: "While he was working on a film on Ancient Rome / He made the slave girls take the gladiators home." - My Husband Makes Movies, Nine

Posted: 5/29/07 at 10:32amThis past weekend, I had the lyric "He answered duty's call" stuck in my head. It took me a long time to remember it was from "One More Angel in Heaven" from Joseph...Dreamcoat.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

It's more a verse, but...
My bird is about to learn Lizzie's "You ride in your bright shiny wagon" verse from "You're Not Fooling Me" in 110 In The Shade because I've been singing it ever since I got the cast recording on Thursday. He's actually getting pretty good. :)

The one line that has stuck with me since I first saw this show years ago in London (with The Dame herself -- Miss Dench)
"To Flirt with rescue when one has no intention of being saved"-- from A Little Night Music.
It is one of those lines that haunts me to this day.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Posted: 5/29/07 at 3:20pmThere are many times when I go into older buildings in NYC and start thinking "Up a steep and very narrow stairway" from ACL.

Posted: 5/29/07 at 3:25pmLately, it's "Blah blah blah" in "Totally F*cked" in from "Spring Awakening." I don't know why, really. Maybe the tune's just catchy.

Posted: 5/29/07 at 3:26pmEvery time I watch Angela Lansbury in Sweeney Todd I end up with "Where are you hiding? Nothing's gonna harm you, darling, not while I'm around... demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays..." from when Mrs. Lovett is under the bakehouse stuck in my head.

Not so much a lyric as a line of dialogue, but from Amy and Bobby's exchange right after "Getting Married Today":
"You need to want to marry SOMEbody.. not some BODY."
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
