Unless it's the Shirley MacLaine version from POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE (and, oh yes, that is a parody) then I'll pass as I'm sure it's that tired parody that went viral a few months ago.

Anyone know who wrote the new lyrics in the MacClaine version? I had heard it was Steve himself, but I'm not so sure.

Is it I'm Still Queer? Because the very fact that the dude wrote a parody of a Sondheim song (from FOLLIES, no less) meant that the entire conceit was a house of cards, because no one would would ever have thought that was from a straight man.

Pgenere, I always thought Sondheim did the rewrites for that movie.

Thanks for including the dead link! I'm sure everyone will love it! Lovely pink error message, though!

And, yes, PRS, doing a little research I found Steve DID, indeed, write the lyrics for the POSTCARDS parody version. It makes me love it a little more. I love how part of that scene used to be used in that highlights reel of the greatest film moments of all time they played before every movie at LOEW's in the 90s/early 00s.

Omg William Parry!!

I think he is the most underrated Sondheim-guy...(Sunday, Road Show, Passion, Assassins, Gypsy)

This one's even weirder: Jim Bailey doing Judy Garland doing "I'm Still Here" the way Judy would be doing it...if she were still here.
