Don't forget the GoodFeather's version of West Side Story, in which one of the Pigeons falls for Maria, a sparrow. The Pigeons and Sparrow have a rumble over the rights to roost on the head of the statue of Martin Scorcese in Central Park.
Sung to the tune of "America" from WSS:
WE WANT TO ROOST ON SCOCESE'S HEAD
WHY CAN'T WE ROOST ON SCORCESE'S HEAD?

Speaking of WEST SIDE STORY -- remember the parody on IN LIVING COLOR --
EAST SIDE STORY, about a black girl who falls for a Orthodox Hassid?

Ah, but in the Fiddler one, they took Scorcese down and replaced it with a statue of:
"Regis Philbin, Regis Philbin
Ought he be with Kathy Lee, Regis Philbin
We will not perch on that big goof."

In the GoodFeathers spoof, the Maria bird was actually named Carloota. Don't ask me how I remember that...
And then there was the "Simpsons" where the shyster salesman convinced Springfiend to build a Monorail...in song!
"Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!
*Marge*: But Main Street's still all cracked and broken!
*Bart*: Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken!
Monorail! Monorail! Monoraaaaaaaaaaaaail! Monorail!
*Homer, a beat after the end*: Mono--D'oh!"

Posted: 8/4/05 at 2:47pmYou Seinfelders forgot "Scarsdale Surprise" - it even won the Tony! Would have been huge if Raquel Welch had only swung her arms when she danced...
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

And then there's the musical (I forget the name off-hand) from Primetime Glick (on Comedy Central) featuring the song "Hooty-Pooty To You Too":
"Hooty pooty tootie
Hooty pooty you
Hooty pooty pooty
Hooty pooty to you too."
"And I feel it move me
Like a fire deep inside
Something bursting me wide open
Impossible to hide
And suddenly I'm flying
Flying like a bird
Like electricity
Electricity" - Electricity from Billy Elliot The Musical

How about Elian!, the Elian Gonzalez musical from Saturday Night Live, featuring none other than Ana Gasteyer, now in the Chicago Wicked, as Elian's mother?

Oh, how could I forget the Golden Girls version of "Henny Penny" with George Hearn as a very Sweeney-like Foxy-Loxy?!

Or the Simpsons spoof of Evita!
with the kids chanting:
"poor lisa,
poor lisa,
poor lisa!"
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

I'm so glad people remember the Animaniacs musicals. I loved Les Miseranimals but I couldn't get the lyrics for "Can you hear the poodles bark" out of my head.
I found a transcript on line. The link's below.
