Awful Showtune Lyrics

(About the Christmas revue I'm in)

ThePhan: LZ: If you do make it out for that, you will get to hear me sing one line in the most horribly-written song ever! But you will also see me dance! And Jacob has a whole song all to himself and it will be rather gorgeous!
LaZorra: TP: LOL, that's quite the incentive...I think...
ThePhan: LOL, story about this song...
ThePhan: When the song was first handed out to us it was just a group number, and I complained to my friends all the time about how much I hated this song.
LaZorra: story!
ThePhan: Then he assigned a couple solos, but I didn't have one, and I said to those friends, "Boy, I'm glad I didn't get any of those solos. I hate that song."
ThePhan: Then the director handed out two more solos, and one of them was mine, and as soon as he announced that, these people looked at me and just smirked.
ThePhan: (Although, granted, mine is the least awful of the four.)
Sentynel: LOL
LaZorra: LOL!
Randy: What song?
Randy: LOL
Goosey: LOL
Sentynel: You were kinda asking for that to happen.
Randy: hehe
ThePhan: It's "December the 25th" from Scrooge.
* ThePhan find sit.
ThePhan: *finds it, rather
ThePhan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqsrm04ZFRs
ThePhan: I'm singing the part that goes: "I don't hear any arguments, so may I say forthwith, I wish that every day could be December the 25th."
ThePhan: But most of these verses MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL.
Randy: Oh my
LaZorra: Okay, I made it through the first 30 seconds and had to stop it.
ThePhan: LOL
LaZorra: I am so very sorry.
ThePhan: There is a fun spirited dance number that goes along with it, though. So that's not so bad.
LaZorra: Phew!
ThePhan: And at least I don't have to sing "Ask anyone called Robinson or Brown or Jones or Smith their favorite day and they will say December the 25th."
ThePhan: I could not have done it.
LaZorra: LOL LOL
LaZorra: EVERYONE ELSE LIKES FEBRUARY THIRD BETTER
ThePhan: OR
Sentynel: What a bizarre song.
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: "If there's a day in history that's more than any myth, beyond a doubt one day stands out: December the 25th."
ThePhan: Are people arguing that the rest of the dates in the calendar are mythical?
ThePhan: I THINK NOT
LaZorra: I can't even begin to guess what that means.
Sentynel: Phan: I've always been suspicious of March 14th...
ThePhan: Leslie Bricusse is an awful, awful lyricist, and he writes EVERYTHING.
ThePhan: He's the one who I complained about on Facebook awhile back for his lyrics for Cyrano.
ThePhan: Roxanne is begging Cyrano to protect Christian while the guys are off at war, and she has to sing this lyric: "Forbid him to do reckless things. Don't let him ride a horse."
ThePhan: Really? They're going to war, and him riding a horse is your main concern?
Sentynel: I'm pretty sure being the only one not on a horse would be more dangerous.
ThePhan: What if everyone else is riding a horse and he's not?
ThePhan: Yeah, what Sent said.
LaZorra: ...
LaZorra: Maybe he's deathly allergic.
ThePhan: I kind of just want to read through all his lyrics ever and write a blog about how terrible a writer he is.
LaZorra: You should. It would be hilarious.
ThePhan: And it makes me furious because he frequently works with Frank Wildhorn, who's one of my very favorite composers and writes these big gothic-sounding romantic numbers...
ThePhan: ...with lyrics like "Don't let him ride a horse" or "Murder, murder, when there's one done, murder, murder can't be undone!"
LaZorra: Augh.
Goosey: LOL
Sentynel: Sure it can. Raise Dead is only a tth level cleric spell.
ThePhan: Teeth level?
Sentynel: Er.
Sentynel: *5th
Sentynel: I originally wrote 7th, then realised that was Resurrection, not Raise Dead, and changed it.
Sentynel: Only I seem to have become confused about which character I was replacing.
LaZorra: I hate it when I have to execute spells at teeth level.
ThePhan: Although my two favorite awful showtune lyrics are not from anything he wrote.
ThePhan: They are: 1) "I must resist his charms, and his manly rugged arms" from The Woman in White.
LaZorra: LOL LOL LOL
Sentynel: That's amazing.
ThePhan: And: 2) "You need to make films and write songs, you need somewhere to do it. It's what we used to dream about, think twice before you pooh-pooh it" from Rent.
ThePhan: NOBODY can sing that line and make it sound okay.
LaZorra: I was just wondering how on earth you'd get the emphasis right on that one.
LaZorra: In my head I'm going, "POOH-pooh? Pooh-POOH. poohpooh. Poooooh-POOH!"
Goosey: LOL LOL
LaZorra: CUUHPCAYKE
LaZorra: *wiggle**waggle*
