FNGD Q2 - PEOPLES AND PLACES

#1 Post by etaoin22 » Fri Jul 11, 2008 8:59 pm

or should that be PLACES AND PEOPLES>>>>

2 - PLACES AND PEOPLES

B - Those famous grunge groups all came, it seems, along with Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, from Seattle. Now, of these four acts, which had the highest-ranking pop single, with the word "Seattle" in the title:

1 - Alice in Chains
2 - Soundgarden
3 - Pearl Jam
4 - Perry Como.

G - "People, people who need people, are the luckiest people in the wooorlllldd".

Barbra Streisand sang that lyric, which this week sort of reminds of Lou Gehrig's famous all-star speech, which we are remembering as a great NYY Yankee Stadium moment.

Well, Ms. B became a Broadway all-star in her very first show, a couple of years before Funny GIrl. In that very first show, she sang her song in this unusual fashion:

1 - Flying on strings
2 - Swimming in a pool
3 - Seen only in a mirror reflection
4 - Seated at a desk.

B-2

and

G-4
Spoiler
I remember a musical that took place in an office -- How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying -- with Bobby Morse. I think BS played Miss Marmelstein, or Miss Somebody. None of this recall came fast enough to be particularly useful on Jeopardy!, unless the other two contestants ring in and guess wrong.

Perry Como -- the theme from the TV show Here Come the Birdes. And, yeah, I watched for Bobby Sherman AND David Soul. So sue me.

A chair. Miss Marmelstein in I Can Get It For You Wholesale. She rolled around the stage in an office chair.

Melly nails it. Maybe I shoulda said seated in a chair.

There is a New York Jewish Kids Up At Summer Camp Find Life And Romance musical with a swimming pool on stage, but that is a generation before Babs.

11-10 for B.

I only knew "Seattle" from the radio.

I'm amazed that I remembered details from two musicals that my memory congealed into one.

Hey, at least you got it right for us. I had Babs flying in the air like Mary Martin in Peter Pan.

Wish You Were Here is the musical with the swimming pool.

It started life as a straight play and morphed into Having a Wonderful Time as a movie with Ginger Rogers & Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. With all the Jewish Catskills humor gone. It was restored for the musical version on Broadway.

Babs in the air would have been something.

Using only mirror reflections has to have been used by some one, some time, as it offers all sorts of possibilities, but I cant think of an instance.
