Same number:

" 'A wandering minstrel I, a thing of shreds and--' 'Next!' "

"To Be Or Not To Be" (1983) - starring Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft?

oooh, I think lam is almost right in that it's a Mel Brooks musical, but I have a feeling that in fact it's the new vetsion of The Producers (the first quote coming from Bialistock's song when he's been arrested and does the entire musical in a matter of seconds (worth it just for the interval bit) and the second one coming from teh auditions for Hitler.

The song is "BETRAYED!" from The Producers.
It's Max Bialystock's big number in Act 2, in which he reprises the entire show up to that point (including "Step Four: Hire All The Actors", which is where the second quote comes in).

Over to Bevis.

Yay me! Although to be fair I probably wouldn't have gotten it if lam hadn't mentioned Mel Brooks.

Next quote:

"I'll be in my room alone
Every post meridian
And I'll read my diary
And that book by Mr Gideon"


(edited for the correct lyrics)

another quote:

"I like big muscles
And red corpuscles,
I like a beautiful hunk of man,
But I'm no physical culture fan"

I know I've heard that... it's a musical.

Either Rocky Horror or Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Either or indeed. Which one though? The first quote should kind of rule out one or the other though.

Oh, they're BOTH from the same thing?

Okay, then; Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

They are indeed, and it is indeed Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (probably my favourite film ever). The first one is from 'Bye Bye Baby' and the second is from 'Ain't There Anyone Here For Love' (which admittedly is from the film version rather than the original stage version). If it had gone any longer I'd have posted a quote from 'Diamonds Are Girl's Best Friend' which would have given it away instantly I suspect.

You're up Calybos.

"I once believed in causes, too;
I had my pointless point of view;
And life went on, no matter who was wrong or right."

that's a Billy Joel lyric, if memory serves, so that's got to be... "Movin' Out" ?

I believe that's "Angry Young Man" by Billy Joel.

Correct, matlock.

bumping for matlock...

OK, so as to not keep the game stalled I shall post another quote (and then almost certainly matlock will post again. )

"Grab your dick
And double-click
For porn, porn, porn"

That is "The Internet Is for Porn," from "Avenue Q." Trekkie Monster says those particular words.

Funny you should post this. Just last night, I found a link to a hysterical video created for this song using footage from one of the "Warcraft" games.

He he, I am listening to it right now as well ("everyones' a little bit racist sometiiiimes, doesn't mean we go round commiting hate crimes").

It's not got over here to the UK yet but I got the cast recording for Christmas and I can see why it's so damn popular. 'The Internet Is For Porn' is incredibly funny, the idea of Gary Coleman being played by a woman is just fantastic and 'There's A Fine, Fine Line' is one of the best love songs in any musical that I've heard.

Of course, the point of all that rambling is that you're right and it's your go again.

Yay! Here's one:

I'm practically perfect, not slightly soiled
Running like an engine that's just been freshly oiled
I'm so practically perfect in every way.

Sounds like Mary Poppins.

I've been trying to place it all weekend and couldn't place it at all. The nearest I could think of was Julie Andrews singing it and that made me think it might be Thoroughly Modern Millie but in fact I think Calybos is right and it's from the new stage version fo Mary Poppins.

Correct! It's from the new stage version. Thought I'd add a little twist there.

You're up, Calybos. Sorry I didn't check the thread earlier.

"I cruise from Houston to Canal Street, a misfit and a rebel
I see the winos talking to themselves, and I can understand;
Why is it everytime I go out I always seem to get in trouble?
I guess I made an impression on somebody north of Hester and south of Grand."

Bumping this before I resort to doing a google search. It sounds kind of familiar but I can't place it.

I believe that's from Billy Joel's "Big Man on Mulberry St". What was the name of his musical... "Movin' Out"?
