So, after listening to The LAst five years for the millionth time, I began to hear that almost every song in the show repeats a melody within the other songs...
I don't know if I'm making sense, but I started writing things down...
Like Shiksa Goddess has elements of "Summers in Ohio", etc., not to mention the obvious ones like "See, I'm Smiling" has "We Can do Better" or "If I Didn't Believe in You" has "Still Hurting",
And then there's "Moving Too Fast" which has "Still Hurting" as well...
Anyone else notice this? (I'm sure you do, as I'm a little late in picking this up...probably because I kept skipping Norbert's songs for the first thousand earplay's.)
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
