I was totally gonna do Hairspray.

But here's another one...

No, that one's Jerry Seinfeld...
That one's John Lennon...
Have you seen the museum?
We should go.
Will you share your life with me
For the next ten minutes
For the next ten minutes...
We can handle that
We could watch the waves
We could see the sky
We could hear the wind
As the tide drifts by

I seem to have stopped the game cold.

Here's another one from the same show.

Everyone tells you that the minute you get married,
Every other woman in the world suddenly finds you attractive.
Well, that's not true.
It only affects the kind of women you always wanted to sleep with,
But they wouldn't give you the time of day before,
And now they're banging down your door
And falling to their knees...
At least that's what it feels like because you
Can
Not
Touch
Them.
In fact, you can't even look at them--
Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes.
Except you're sitting there,
Eating your corned beef sandwich,
And all of a sudden this pair of breasts walks by and smiles at you,
And you're like, "That's not fair!"

And in a perfect world,
A miracle would happen,
And every other girl would fly away,
And it'd be me and Cathy,
And nothing else would matter--
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine,
I mean, I'm happy
And I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine--
It's not a problem,
It's just a challenge--
It's a challenge to resist temptation.

I think it's safe to say you've stumped us, KP.

I don't know the name of the song, but I think its from "The Last Five Years", right?

It sounds like something from "Avenue Q."

You got it, KidChaos! You rock!

Thanks Kid Prime!

They'd revoke my gay-card if didn't rock at the musical quotes game.

OK here's some from my all time favorite musical:

Mama
Doesn't even have an inkling
That I'm working in a Nightclub
In a pair of Lacy pants.
So please, sir.
If you run into my Mama,
Don't reveal my indiscretion,
Give a working girl a chance.

That's Sally Bowles in Cabaret (the stage version; I don't think that song was used in the movie). The title of the song is "Don't Tell Mama."

You got it Bicycle Repair Man!

New Quote:

"You may have the finest sets,
Fill the stage with Penthouse Pets;
You may have the lovliest costumes and best shoes ... "

Now, now, now... you all know that you can't succeed on Broadway if you don't have any Jews!

Spam-A-Lot!!!

That would have been a nice bit of synergy, but I don't hang around Spaceopoly much and just now noticed this thread 'cause KP's latest response showed from the homepage.

But I'm here now, so bring it on!

I was wondering where you were, bud!

"There's a very small percentile
Who enjoys a dancing Gentile.
I'm sad to be the one with this bad news."

As Sir Robin explains to King Arthur,
"You Won't Succeed On Broadway (If You Don't Have Any Jews)"

Back to Kid Prime.

"I don't like the way you do!
You change! Gal your age, wearin' bobby socks and saddle shoes,
Actin' like... I don't know what all!

Everyone down at the college,
They all wear these shoes, and I don't see that you got call to...
You the one who changed! You changed!

Flip-cut hair, gots no kids and runs with men!
Never mind, drinkin' too, and smokin' cigarettes, and I don't know what all!"

"You gettin' pinched and pruney, like them ladies at your church!
Think they come at God's suggestion... judgin' this one, judgin' that one...
'Fore you got yourself divorced,
'Fore I told you I's goin' to night school,
'Fore all that you wasn't hateful,
Now you got all grim and gospel!

Sorry you is sick and shamed!
Sorry you drinking misery tea!
Sorry your life ain't what it should be...
Don't see why you think it proper to take it out on me!"

"Seein' as you ain't never seen the inside of a church,
I don't think you got perspective on what the gospel is!
DOTTY, my 'FRIEND'... HIGH AND MIGHTY...
GOIN' TO COLLEGE... EV'RY NIGHT!
LEAST YOU THINK THAT... THEY COULD TEACH YOU...
IS NOT TO TALK ON WHAT YOU IS TOTALLY...
COMPLETELY... ABYSMALLY... IGNORANT OF!!!!!!"

I'm wearin' white hose...
My knees ain't on display.
I wears a white dress...
They like their maids that way.
Don't want 'em dressed for play."

"Once you was quick..."

"I put all that away."

"And once you was bright..."

"That's all I got to say!"

"Now it seem you come to some confusion... you're losin' courage... you're losin' life... lost your old shine..."

"You wait forever, for that damn bus come..."

OK, this one took some research. It's Dotty and Caroline in A.R. Rahman's "Bombay Dreams."

Sure as a wave
needs to be near the shore
your are the one
I was intended for.
Deep in your eyes
I saw the gods' design.
Now my life is forever yours,
and you are mine.

Back up, plant. It's not Bombay Dreams.

Whoops, you're quite right. I scrolled too fast through the New York Times article. It's from "Caroline, or Change" by Tony Kushner and Jeanine Tesori. Sorry I jumped the gun there. Either way, I should have waited for confirmation before moving ahead with the next quote.

There you go!

Though your quote sounds familiar, I can't quite place it.

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

Sorry, Lad, you need to guess correctly what musical my lyrics came from before posting the next song.

No guesses? Do what I do when I don't know: Type the lyrics into Google!

Well, I finally broke down and looked it up:

"Forever Yours", from Once On This Island.

Next:

"Like Samson and Delilah,
Your love began to fade.
I'm crying in the hoosegow,
You're in Rio getting laid!"
