Hint # 1: the quote is from a movie musical.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

Hint # 2: the quoted song was performed on The Muppet Show (the Muppets had nothing to do with the movie the song was written for, though).
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

No guesses? Let's try adding more lyrics:
"How about the time you went to Indiana?"
"I was lyin', I was down in Alabam'."
"You said you had some business you had to complete."
"What I was doing, I would be a cad to repeat!"
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

Hint # 3: the song has a very long title.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

Sorry, I'm completely stumped. And they've only released Season One of the Muppet Show on DVD, so I can't even go back and check!

The first clue grabbed my attention because it sounded so familiar. And now it's been in the back of my head all day. The Muppet Show aired in the late seventies and possibly the early eighties. There's a pretty good chance the guest star that week was in the musical. I don't believe there were alot of movie musicals produced in that era. The only ones coming to mind are "Annie" (which I don't recall seeing all the way through) and something called "Movie Movie"(which I did but barely remember). Both of those were set in the 1930's. And the lyrics have that feel to them. And now I'm wondering if Mel Brook's "History of the World" had a musical number in it. I can totally see him singing a duet with Miss Piggy. I give up.

Elaborations on previous hints, by the numbers: 1. The movie the quoted song was written for was released in the early 1950s. 2. The performance of the song on The Muppet Show did not involve the guest star (who was not in the movie the song was written for -- but, coincidentally, was in the movie version of Annie). Both parts of the duet were sung by Muppets. 3. I believe that this song was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the longest song title ever, but I have been unable to confirm this (recent editions of the GBWR available in my local library do not include that category)(OK, not such a good hint if it's unverifiable  ). (Side Note: the musical number in History Of The World, Part 1 was "The Spanish Inquisition", with Mel (as Torquemada) singing the lead)

Based on #3, I have a guess:
"How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Love You (When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life)?"

Aand we have a winner!
(Written for the 1951 film Royal Wedding, in which it was performed by Fred Astaire and Jane Powell; performed on The Muppet Show by Kermit the Frog and "Miss Mousey" as the opening number of the Bernadette Peters episode, launching Miss Piggy into an episode-long jealous snit)
Over to Calybos.

That's Cole Porter's "Well, Did You Evah?" from High Society.
It was also featured in the films At Long Last Love and De-Lovely.

Here's a hint: It's from a movie.

I was afraid this was going to be a bit obscure. It's from the very first song in this movie, which is a sequel.

To repeat it on this page, the quote is:
Mama, please!
Your child's come down with a fatal disease!
Mama said,
"Come on, you lazy bum, and get your butt out of bed!"
This movie, though now having a cult following, was a box office disappointment, especially compared with its extremely successful predecessor.
The female lead later appeared in one of the Batman movies.

That'll be Grease 2 then. I've only ever seen about half of it, although Chris loves it.

That's correct. It's from a song called "Back to School" which opens the movie. I'm very fond of Grease 2 myself. It's pretty cheese-tastic. And Maxwell Caulfield is dreamy!  Over to Bevis.

I'm surprised no-one has got this one yet. As a clue it's a song from the stage show that was filmed but eventually cut from the movie version of said musical.

Still nothing? More from the same song then:
"So baby don't cry like there's no tomorrow
After the night there's brand new day
And there'll be no pain and no more sorrow
So wash your face and phone my place, it'll be okay."
Truth and Justice shall Prevail!

I'm quite surprised no-one has got this one yet actually. Here's a line from a different song but from the same character that should be easier:
"When we met in his science exam-it
Made me give you the eye and then panic"
