《A Musical》歌词

[00:00:00] What the hell are musicals?

[00:00:01] It appears to be a play where the dialog stops and the plot is conveyed through song

[00:00:07] Through song?

[00:00:08] Yes

[00:00:09] Wait, wait, wait, so an actor is saying his lines and then out of nowhere he just starts singing?

[00:00:15] Yes

[00:00:16] Well that is the—

[00:00:18] Stupidest thing that I have ever heard

[00:00:21] You're doing a play, got something to say

[00:00:24] So you sing it? It's absurd

[00:00:26] Who on Earth is going to sit there

[00:00:29] While an actor breaks into song?

[00:00:33] What possible thought could the audience think

[00:00:37] Other than "this is horribly wrong?"

[00:00:42] Remarkably, they won't think that

[00:00:45] (Seriously? Why not?)

[00:00:47] Because—

[00:00:48] It's... a... musical

[00:00:52] A musical

[00:00:54] And nothing's as amazing as a

[00:00:56] Musical

[00:00:58] With song and dance

[00:01:00] And sweet romance

[00:01:02] And happy endings happening

[00:01:04] By happenstance

[00:01:06] Bright lights, stage fights

[00:01:08] And a dazzling chorus

[00:01:09] You wanna be great, then you gotta create

[00:01:11] A musical

[00:01:13] I don't know, I find it hard to believe people would actually pay to see something like this

[00:01:17] Let's just say it's a Saturday night

[00:01:19] And you wanna go out on the town

[00:01:21] Got a lady to flatter who might

[00:01:23] Give it up if you don't let her down

[00:01:25] You could go see a tragedy

[00:01:26] But that wouldn't be very fun

[00:01:28] Or a play from Greek mythology

[00:01:30] See a mother have sex with her son

[00:01:32] You could go see a drama

[00:01:35] With all of that trauma and pain

[00:01:39] Or go see something more relaxing

[00:01:43] And less taxing on the brain

[00:01:49] Go... see... a... musical

[00:01:54] A musical

[00:01:56] A poppy piece releasing all your

[00:01:58] Blues-icals

[00:02:00] Where crooners croon (Ahh)

[00:02:02] A catchy tune

[00:02:04] And limber-legged ladies thrill you

[00:02:06] Till you swoon

[00:02:07] Ooh's, ahh's, big applause

[00:02:09] And a standing ovation

[00:02:11] The future is bright if you could just write

[00:02:13] A musical

[00:02:15] Some make you happy

[00:02:17] Some make you sad

[00:02:19] Some are quite big

[00:02:20] Some quite small

[00:02:22] Some are too long

[00:02:24] Some are just plays with song (Ahh)

[00:02:26] Some musicals have

[00:02:28] No talking at all

[00:02:31] (No talking at all?)

[00:02:32] That's right, there's no talking

[00:02:37] All of the dialog is sung in a very dramatic fashion

[00:02:44] (Um, really?)

[00:02:45] Yes, really

[00:02:47] (There's no talk—)

[00:02:48] There's no talking

[00:02:51] And they often stay on one note for a very long time

[00:02:54] So that when they change to a different note,...you notice

[00:03:01] And it's supposed to create a dramatic effect

[00:03:03] But mostly you just sit there asking yourself, "why aren't they talking?"

[00:03:10] (Sounds miserable)

[00:03:12] I believe it's pronounced "misérables"

[00:03:19] (And people actually like this?)

[00:03:21] No! They love it! And what's not to love?

[00:03:24] It's such a delight, there's nothing quite like

[00:03:26] A musical

[00:03:28] Ooh! Another vision! I haven't even told you the best part yet!

[00:03:32] Feel that fascinating rhythm

[00:03:35] Move into your feet

[00:03:37] (Uh, what is that?)

[00:03:40] Feel your a** gyrating

[00:03:42] To that titillating beat

[00:03:44] (Ooh, are you OK?)

[00:03:47] You slap your lap

[00:03:49] Then finger-snap

[00:03:51] That's when you know it's time to tap

[00:03:56] (What the hell are you doing now?)

[00:03:58] It's called a dance break

[00:03:59] Apparently this happens in musicals as well

[00:04:02] People on stage just burst into spontaneous dance

[00:04:06] (Why? Does it advance the plot?)

[00:04:07] No

[00:04:08] (Advance character?)

[00:04:09] Not necessarily

[00:04:10] (Then why do it?)

[00:04:12] Because it's entertaining

[00:04:14] 5-6-7-8!

[00:04:17] Dance Break

[00:04:49] Another vision!

[00:04:51] It's a musical What do you talk? What do you talk?

[00:04:53] It's a musical! A Seussical?

[00:04:55] No, a musical with girls on stage

[00:04:57] (A musical)

[00:04:58] We've got snappy repartee

[00:05:00] And the women are risqué

[00:05:02] And the chorus boys are kinda gay

[00:05:04] (A musical)

[00:05:06] A true, blue, new

[00:05:09] Musical

[00:05:17] Stand back! It's a musical!

[00:05:20] Some musicals are very serious

[00:05:27] A big, glittering (musical, a musical)

[00:05:33] (It's a mu-si-cal for us)

[00:05:39] A big and shiny, mighty fine-y

[00:05:44] Glitter, glitz, and chorus line-y

[00:05:46] Bob your head and shake your heiney

[00:05:47] Musical!

[00:05:49] It's a musical

[00:05:51] (It's a musical)

[00:05:53] It is a musical

[00:05:54] (It's a musical)

[00:05:56] Yes! I get it now!

[00:05:59] We'll... do... a... musical (No kidding!)

[00:06:06] A musical

[00:06:09] What could be more amazing than

[00:06:12] A musical?

[00:06:14] With song and dance

[00:06:18] And sweet romance

[00:06:20] And with a musical we might have

[00:06:23] Half a chance

[00:06:25] {Ooh's, ahh's, big applause}

[00:06:26] {With everyone cheering for us}

[00:06:33] And for some unexplainable reason

[00:06:37] The crowd goes wild every time

[00:06:41] When dancers kick in unison

[00:06:45] In one big wonderful line

[00:06:50] And then you got yourself a musical

[00:06:55] A musical

[00:07:00] A la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[00:07:03] Palooz-ical

[00:07:04] With flashy style

[00:07:07] And a big, fake smile

[00:07:09] A snazzy band, some jazzy hands

[00:07:11] I swear that I'll

[00:07:13] Cross my heart, hope to die

[00:07:15] If it isn't a doozy

[00:07:17] Take it from me

[00:07:20] They'll be flocking to see

[00:07:23] (Your star-lit)

[00:07:25] (Won't quit)

[00:07:26] (Big hit)

[00:07:27] (Musical)

[00:07:40] A big hit musical
