I saw her climb the 13th rung I heard her singing the song she sung I caught the flower that she flung I saw a paper tab burning on her tongue She's an angel you'll agree Biggest damn halo that you're ever gonna see He mouth roars her eye shine If you're painfully honest you can stand in her light, man I saw her blow her fragile fuse I tried to crack her code but it was no use She's concentrating on levitation Her body burst into violet hues I took a look at her tattered shoes I offered her mine but she refused She said: I want these cuts on my feet, man gotta become sensitive as I can She reached down put some trash in her hair, man She don't wonder and she don't ponder She keeps walking but she never wanders The tiny cuts in your skin They let a little fresh air in You dilate your opening And when it starts to gush: START TO SING I saw her bleed I saw her kneel I don't pretend to understand What she is feeling I saw her rise A golden ray of light Appeared between her eyes She rose above the gathering crowd The sky was dark and the weather was loud She coalesced up in the cloud She converted my without a word Her churchbell heartbeat was all I heard

oooh, I think lam is almost right in that it's a Mel Brooks musical, but I have a feeling that in fact it's the new vetsion of The Producers (the first quote coming from Bialistock's song when he's been arrested and does the entire musical in a matter of seconds (worth it just for the interval bit) and the second one coming from teh auditions for Hitler.

The song is "BETRAYED!" from The Producers. It's Max Bialystock's big number in Act 2, in which he reprises the entire show up to that point (including "Step Four: Hire All The Actors", which is where the second quote comes in).
Over to Bevis.

They are indeed, and it is indeed Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (probably my favourite film ever). The first one is from 'Bye Bye Baby' and the second is from 'Ain't There Anyone Here For Love' (which admittedly is from the film version rather than the original stage version). If it had gone any longer I'd have posted a quote from 'Diamonds Are Girl's Best Friend' which would have given it away instantly I suspect.
You're up Calybos.
