Your guilty pleasure lyrics

Are there any lyrics in musicals that you know are kinda silly but like anyway?

I always get a chuckle out of a line in "Murder, Murder" from Jekyll & Hyde: "Read about the worst two murders--Much worse than the first two murders!" I think it's supposed to be funny in a satirical way but I haven't heard many people laughing at it XD;

DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES:

"Garlic, garlic

The secret to staying young

Garlic, garlic

That's why we're so well hung"

Let's be honest, the entirety of Jekyll and Hyde is a guilty pleasure. Especially the David Hasslehoff taping.

 

Oh lord, he's so majestically awful.

Guilty pleasure lyrics abound in "pop" music. My two favorites:

"Someone left the cake out in the rain. I don't think that I can take it, 'cause it took so long to bake it, and I'll never have that recipe again!" MacArthur Park -- Diana Ross (her rendition is the best)

"Don't you know my tears will burn the pillow? Set this place on fire 'cause I'm tired of your lies. You were the one who left me neglected (I'm so sorry!) Apology not accepted, add me to the broken hearts you've collected!" All Cried Out -- Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam


As for musicals: "There are bridges you cross you didn't know you crossed until you've crossed." Kristin's delivery of this line on the Wicked recording just makes it more fantastic because she seems so into it (and obviously sounds terrific).

also from Wicked: "Yes?" "Uh, Nessa, I've got something to confess, a..." from the dance scene
and also "frank analysis" rhyming with "personality dialysis"...and "pal, a sister"

basically...Wicked is a treasure trove of guilty pleasure lyrics (because I kind of love them but they're not good)

While I love Hamilton, the 'I think your pants look hot, Laurens I like you a lot' line makes me cringe every time I listen to My Shot.

How about: Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Cats:

"So this is this, and that is that
And there's how you ad-dress a cat"

i just find it so funny and terrible and confusing at the same time. Even though I love the show this line makes me incredibly angry and happy.

I get a kick out of Mama Says from Footloose, but I'd never admit that out loud.

Mama says... Don't drink hot coffee while lying down in bed
Don't even give it a thought!
Mama says... Never eat anything that's bigger than your head
Is she a wiz or what?

Hi PT

I can't remember, was Rocky at the Winter Garden? Man! getting to see Andy Karl almost naked every night, Yikes! (that would have me very happy!) How is SOR going? Still packing them in?

Take care   SC

PT, 

You're making me smile about Mr. Karl !

I'm really glad for SOR, getting kids into the musical theater is half the battle; it's getting their parents and guardians to see how much the kids enjoy it too! (I'll PM next time to chat, don't want to ruffle any feathers)! xo SC

I like "personality dialysis," from Popular in spite of myself.
