You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two from Oliver
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.

AWWW MAN HOW COULD I FORGET THAT ONE!! That's supposed to be the best of them all.
Thanks to Gothampc.
You should know "Streets of Gold" from the 1988 Disney adaptation "Oliver and Company," which is set in New York City in the 1980s.

Since when was there songs about "thefts" in any of those shows?
Why does "Wicked" count?

Most of See What I Wanna See: Aaron Lohr's character in R Shamon is called The Thief and all of Gloryday is about the Priest coning the city into believing Jesus would appear in the middle of Central Park.
I think someone said Wicked probably because the Wizard and Morrible "con" everyone into believing Elphaba is wicked. I could totally be wrong, but that was the fist thing I thought of.

Master of the House from Les Miserables
One More Angel in Heaven from Joseph...Technicolor (it's sort of a con song because they are trying to make their father believe that Joseph died)

Posted: 4/5/06 at 5:34pmWell I would say that both The Wizard and Madame Morrible were con artists, no?

"I am ready to disclaim my opinion, even of yesterday, even of 10 minutes ago, because all opinions are relative. One lives in a field of influences, one is influenced by everyone one meets, everything is an exchange of influences, all opinions are derivative. Once you deal a new deck of cards, you've got a new deck of cards."
