Thanks for the hint; it got me looking in the right direction.
The song is "With Every Breath I Take" from City Of Angels, sung by Bobbi, later reprised by Bobbi and Stone.

Act 1, A Day In Hollywood, is a musical revue-tribute to the "Golden Age" of Hollywood; Act 2, A Night In The Ukraine, is a Marx Brothers homage. The quoted song, "Samovar The Lawyer", is the Groucho character's solo in which he introduces himself - not unlike "Hooray For Captain Spaulding".

I had to Google this one I'm afraid, but in the spirit of keeping the thread alive it's from Urinetown. I've not really heard much about it other than it won the Tony though.

I checked Damn Yankees because "Heart" rhymes with depart, but I never got around to any more research on Suddenly Seymour's quote.

Yes, you have, but I'll give someone else a chance to read through this thread and find it, since I gave the correct answer the first time!

And Urinetown rules, guys! I had the great fortune to see it on tour a couple years back. One of the most energized and talented touring casts I have ever seen. It blew me away.

That should be enough for any afficionado.
That's "The Money Song" from the *movie* version of Cabaret -- has it been inserted into the stage version now?
