Not-exactly-musical earworms

Do you ever get text running through your head, like a phrase of a song except not?

I've been having a lot of that this week.




1. I mean, they're not even married or anything! They're not even divorced!

2. I am poor in the essence of happiness, lady, rich only in never-ending unrest. In me there meet a combination of antithetical elements that are at eternal war with one another. Driven hither by objective impulses, thither by subjective emotions; wafted one moment into blazing day by mocking hope, plunged the next into a Cimmerian darkness of tangible despair; I am but a living ganglion of irreconcilable antagonisms. [beat] I hope I make myself clear, lady?

3. What's up with that? What the hell's up with that?

4. Not to mention the extreme pressure exerted on him by his deeply rooted rivalry with Flopsy, Mopsy, AND COTTONTAIL!!!

5. A: Do you want a drizzle, a downpour, or a deluge? B: FLOOD THE PLACE!


High points to anyone who can source any of 'em.

I hadn't thought of it for a while, but then something brought it to mind yesterday and I had to go trawl Youtube for amateur productions. I regret to report that while I wasn't looking there was a Broadway revival of the show, and that a lot of the music was "revamped," a word which here means "changed and caused to suck." I mean, "Suppertime" is not a smooth jazz number. Not in my world.

Lordy Moses no!

That will not stand. We must burn Broadway to the ground, then salt the earth so nothing can grow again.
