Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

I've heard a lot of "525,600 minutes" instead of "Seasons of Love".
I'm sure there are others. I shall ponder it.

"Gay Or European" instead of "There! Right! There!"
.........but that's understandable.

Posted: 2/5/08 at 5:52pmWell, it is arguably changed to this title in whatever new version gets released every 5 years, but "The God-Why-Don't-You-Love-Me Blues" is commonly referred to as "Buddy's Blues."

Posted: 2/5/08 at 5:57pmIn the case of Legally Blonde, I'm pretty sure the song was called "Gay or European" in the workshops.

Posted: 2/5/08 at 6:00pmI have never ONCE heard "Dance Ten Looks Three" being used with that title. And I don't think it should be used with that title. It sounds a lot better with that other name.

I've never ONCE heard anyone call it "Dance Ten Looks Three". It's always "Ti*s and A*s". I guess it depends on who you hang out with.
Additionally I usually call "Those You've Known" from Spring Awakening "All That's Known" (reprise). I even put it on my mp3 player like that, initially by accident.

Posted: 2/5/08 at 6:29pmNo Day But Today instead of Another Day (Finale B is often referred to by the same name as well)

Mostly this song never is called by a name by non-theatre people. The just sing some random, incomprehensible number and then "Miiinutes." Generally off key.

Posted: 2/5/08 at 7:39pmDuring college my girlfriend was in a production of Follies and everyone in the cast referred to "Who's That Woman" as "Mirror, Mirror".

Posted: 2/5/08 at 7:47pm"Not While I'm Around." I do remember someone on this board calling it "No One's Going to Harm You." Can't remember who the culprit was, lol.

Yeah "Who's That Woman?" is usually referred to as the Mirror number.
I also read someone refer to "Fifty Percent" as "Fifty Percent of Him."

With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-
"Not Barker, Todd is the only person I've ever known who could imitate Katherine Hepburn...in print." -nmartin-
