But I think that's more 'dance' than 'musical', yes, no?

They're only best friends in front of the cameras. Off-camera, they're just people who work in the same office.

They may cut your dick in half
and serve it to a pig
and though it hurts you;ll laugh
and dance a dickless jig

The end of '40 Year Old Virgin'.

And Ann-Margaret in a pool of baked beans? And Jack Nicholson as a Harley Street Specialist? And Elton John as the Pinball Wizard?

Classic denial of a classic abusive relationship. Textbook.

I agree, it's a film at least as good and probably better than 'Singing In the Rain'. But that's because I was always repelled by Gene Kelly and his 'Look At Me! I'm Doing Art' shit-eating grin that sucked the fun out of anything he ever did. I much preferred the classier, smoother, more human Astaire.

What do you mean 'ironically'? That's a brilliant song, brilliantly sung. It's the only good one in the whole film actually since it was the only one (or maybe there was one other) written by Richard O'Brien.

Actually, 'Technicolour Dreamcoat', even though it's really a first draft of  'Jesus Christ Superstar', is a close second.

Hang on, no-one has mentioned 'Tommy'?

I like the 'Duel Duet' which has Cliff De Young impersonating Jack Nicholson singing a song of hate to himself.

My mother and her friends went to the first London show with racing glasses so they could ostentatiously zoom in on the cast's genitals during the nude freak-out sessions.

You forgot 'So You Wanta Be A Boxer' and "Down and Out"

'I Will Wait For You If It Takes Forever' at the end of the Futurama where the dog waits for Fry to come back comes from Parapluies - and everyone knows that sequence.

Great songs but Julian Temple couldn't direct the musical numbers. Same problem with Woody Allen in Everyone Says I Love You.

When it comes to music, The Simpsons and South Park were about equal until about 1995, then the Simpsons music went downhill with the scripts.

The Mikado is full of jolly stuff but the really transplendent song is 'The Sun Whose Rays'. It was brilliantly sung by the villainess to Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 'Brick', the ultimate post-mo slacker crime thriller a couple of years back.

It's time you goateed feebs learned how to really deliver a showstopper:

Still, it wasn't a bad episode - because it had less Liz in it.
