What the Lyric - Episode 3 - Musicals‪!‬ What the Lyric

Join Becky and Matthew as they turn their attention to musicals - both the broadway kind and the movie musical kind.  One is from the golden age of Broadway.  The other is from a little know movie opera from 2008.  Both deserve to be skewered.

Becky: Hey, guys, just a quick note. When we went to record this, I left my headphones at home so I couldn't hear the funky noises that were happening when I was banging on the table during this discussion because I was so excited and heated about this discussion of musical songs. I apologize for that. Hopefully doesn't interfere with you loving the episode and liking us a million times and telling your friends about how awesome we are. With that said, I hope you enjoy it, and next time I will remember my headphones.

Becky: Welcome to What the Lyric? The podcast that confirms, yeah, that actually made it to radio. Welcome to Episode 3 of What the Lyric? Today we are talking musicals. How are you doing Matt?
 
Matthew: I am doing pretty well considering how much research I had to do into bad musicals, of which there are many.
 
Becky: There are a lot and a lot have made money, which is the part that I don't quite get. I am not sure how they made money because they were so bad.
 
Matthew: Agreed, and I took a broad stance on the definition of musicals. So thinking more along the lines of not just Broadway musicals, but off Broadway and basically movie musicals.
 
Becky: It was the movie ones that I was kind of like, do I go Disney? Because Disney has some crap lyrics, or I could go to all the stuff, we did when I was in high school. What did we do? We did Grease, but we had to change the lyrics on some of the stuff because it was too racy.
 
Matthew: Such as?  
 
Becky: In one of the songs about him meeting. It was some weird slang for condom, but we could use it.
Matthew: Was it rubber?
 
Becky: It was not using. I don't think it was. I would have to look it up but I think it was rubber. I feel like it was something like balloon or something. But you knew what it was when he was thinking about it. So we had to kind of do like the radio edit and go [sound 00:2:30] or something in it so that you filled in the blank.
 
Matthew: Which teenager does not know about condoms?
 
Becky: Oh my god. It was in the 1990s.
 
Matthew: Oh, they really did not know about condom.  
 
Becky: 1991, so we should have. I mean it was all coming up then so we should have left it in there but no.
 
Matthew: I mean our high school did Wizard of Oz. That is very wholesome to an extent considering the fans, I don’t know, destruction.
 
Becky: Yeah. The Wizard of Oz. What else do we do? Of course, there is always music Man Fiddler on the Roof.
 
Matthew: South Pacific.
 
Becky: You guys had some serious production.
 
Matthew: I did not say it was good.
 
Becky: High school musicals are very rarely good. I mean, let us be realistic on that one. I went back to my high school musical roots for mine.
 
Matthew: I think that is a perfect segue way into me asking
 
Becky: Okay.
 
Matthew: Where did you go?
 
Becky: All right.
 
Matthew: Take us back.
 
Becky: We are going back to and in the movie sung by Buddy Hackett, who I remember from when I was younger and he was an older man who I have this vague recollection of him being like a dirty old man kind of guy.
 
Matthew: I mean he was way. Wait, when was this made?
 
Becky: 60-65, let us say. I want to say 65. No, Sorry. Well, the musical was 57; 62 was the movie.
 
Matthew: That was a generation of dirty old men.
 
Becky: Yeah, yeah. Also covered by the Family Guy and several other outlets. I am just in a dive right into it. You ready?
 
Matthew: I don't believe so, but I'm willing to listen.
 
Becky: I think this first group, set it up nicely. Well, a woman who will kiss you on
