"Well Helloooo Little Boy..." - Carol Burnett

Unhappiness can be seductive... - Clara

Kerry O'Malley is the reason this line is sexually charged. No other Baker's Wife said it this way:
(after they make out or )
Cinderella's Prince: There's a Giant on the loose...
Baker's Wife: Oh...The Giant...hee hee
Bill Finn rocks. Woot.

"When he said, "Come in!"
With that sickening grin,
How could I know what was in store?
Once his teeth were bared,
Though, I really got scared-
Well, excited and scared-
But he drew me close
And he swallowed me down,
Down a dark slimy path
Where lie secrets that I never want to know"
"They have never understood, and no reason that they should. But if anybody could . . . " --SS

"UNhappiness can be seductive"
"Your skin your silken hair your breasts your lips I want you every minute of my life"
"You feel so good as if you'd never been away"
"to feel your touch again...you've never been away"
"All this happiness being here with you in the dark"
PASSION...ahh I love it

Just so you know Priest I heard that same rumor regarding the sexual innuendos of Johannas song and this was Sondheims response to a letter I sent him:

The line in "Johanna" is not meant to have sexual innuendo - I only meant the image of Anthony lying next to Johanna with his head against hers.
BSoBW2: I punched Sondheim in the face after I saw Wicked and said, "Why couldn't you write like that!?"

Did Sondheim really intend on the whole "poppin pussies into pies etc" in PRIEST to have a sexual double meaning? (I love that part.)

Or was he JUST meaning Mrs. Mooney was poppin those cats into pies?

"She knows how to make dough rise."
--Sunday in the Park With George

... and pretty much the entire book/score of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.


Ljay, I've never interpreted that line as having a sexual connotation... that doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't written to have one, but I never picked up on it, if it was.

More of a verse than a line (from Anyone Can Whistle):

I like your-How you say? Imperturbable perspicacity.
It isn't how you say, it's what you see!
We have ze lark, yes? Ze fling, yes?
Ze play is ze-How you say? -Is the thing, yes?
If you will play wiz me,
Mon cheri,
Though we may not agree
Today,In time
Mais oui! We may.

And all of "I Never Do Anything Twice" and "Miller's Son."

I got blood on my cello! - Lauren Molina

"Have a child for warmth, and a baker for bread, and a prince...for...whatever..."
-ITW
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Ditto moljul:

"And then in bed, George
I mean he kneads me-
I mean like dough, George"

Love it!

And I never found A Little Priest sexy until I saw the revival. So that entire song as well.
