Wonder of wonders, I'm not the first person to use a Gilbert & Sullivan quote in this game!
That's from Ruth's expository solo in Act 1 of The Pirates of Penzance, "When Frederic Was a Little Lad".

That's from "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" from Animal Crackers. It was later Groucho Marx's theme song. I know Groucho's character sang part of it, but I can't remember his name.

Actually, it's just been a long time since I saw Animal Crackers and I forgot that Groucho himself was Captain Spaulding. I think I had it a little mixed up in my head with Duck Soup. I guess senility is setting in.
All right then:
God must have landed here. Why else would he strand us here Where the air is nice and clear?

My favorite song from "The Muppet Movie," "I'm Going to Go Back There Some Day" (almost universally misused as "Someday" -- but this isn't the thread for grammar lessons). It's also sung by my favorite Muppet, Gonzo.

I don't know why, but I was suddenly in the mood for this show this weekend. This is probably my favorite song from the show, but if I ever get a chance to perform it, I'll have to bring it up a couple steps. I saw a touring production in Tulsa with Greg Brady himself, Barry Williams, in it.
"There's not a morning that I open up my eyes and find I didn't dream of you. "Without a warning, though it's never a surprise, soon as I awake, thoughts of you arise ..."
