Lyrically Speaking Day 6 11/12/08
The name of today's game is a single word: Quitcherbitchen.
You knew there had to be one of these games this month as soon as you saw who was Meistering. So quitcherbitchen, and give it a try. Who knows, you might know a couple.
Below are lyrics to songs that have been performed on the Broadway stage. They've also appeared in at least ONE movie, and here's a hint: the name of the musical and the name of the movie are exactly the same. Now, the musical may have come first, and then the movie....or maybe the movie came first....or maybe it was originally a non-musical movie, then a musical, then a musical movie. Who knows? Hopefully you do.
You'll get one point for the correct song title, and one point for the name of the musical/movie. There's no need to give an artist, since that would be cruel in most instances, and it usually differed from stage to screen (or screen to stage, or...). For the record, I believe that #11 is not only the best song on this list, but one of the best songs ever written.
1. I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace, into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care
2. Say you love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
3. Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
4. But I just cannot stand still
'Cause the world keeps spinnin' round and round
And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound
5. Deutchland is happy and gay!
We're marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race!
6. If your blonde won't respond when you flatter 'er
Tell her what Tony told Cleopaterer
And if still, to be shocked, she pretends well,
Just remind her that "All's Well That Ends Well"
7. How can I speak of her virtues?
I don't know where to begin
She's clever, she's smart, she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin (like I do)
8. 525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear
525,600 minutes - how do you measure,
Measure a year?
9. You won't believe me,
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
10. March went out like a lion
Awakin' up the water in the bay
Then April cried and stepped aside
And along came pretty little May!
11. All around the cathedral, the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares
Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you
12. I asked him to say what had happened
How it all began
I asked again, he never said a word
As if he hadn't heard
