Love this song!
i would sing n Public touch-a touch a touch a touch me
Songs from A Chorus Line, Darn Yankees, Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Cabaret, Chicago, Wicked, Hello Dolly, and other musicals should've been on the list(there should be another video called, "Another Top 10 More Broadway Songs You Shouldn't Sing In Public." 🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬🗽🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎸🎺🎷🎹🎤🎟️🎟️🎭"). 🎤🎤🎤🎟️🎟️🎭🎭🎭🎭🗽🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎺🎺🎷🎷🎸🎻🎻🎻
Another good version other than the original. ❤🎶
Could you do a top 10 or top 20 of easiest or best plays for schools to perform?
A couple of years ago my friend and I actually bellowed the entire of ‘I’m not wearing underwear today’ in the middle of the shoppingstreet of my hometown… which clearly shows I have no shame
LOL!
YAS!!
As Christmas Eve would say. GET A JOOOB!
I did musical theatre, so that’s pretty on point!
That is so awesome!
"Dead Girl Walking" IMMEDIATELY jumped into my mind, and I'm delighted that it made this list!
I feel like Blue is worse lol
I thought of Blue or Shine a light reprise
@@jwindsor6274 That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the title of this video
Same!!!
I swear I see you on every single video I watch, we must have similar tastes ;)
This wasn't on the list, but I was once the bus listening to Cell Block Tango through my headphones while some guy was...I guess he was trying to hit on me. He kept brushing his leg against mine and finding excuses to talk to me. I, of course, wasn't interested and it seemed like perfect timing when the last line of the second verse played. I just turned to him and stated, "you know some guys just can't hold their arsenic." Suddenly, I had a very peaceful ride after that.
Lol I was thinking of the line "He ran into my knife. He ran into my knife 10 times".
@@jenmck23 That would have worked, too. I got off the bus just before that.
That’s beautiful
😄😄😄
😄😆😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I had “Hasa Diga Ebowai” stuck in my head for *weeks* after I saw Book of Mormon and I’m an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER. Trying not to sing it around my six year olds was an earnest struggle. I’m so glad the song was (rightfully) number one.
SAME
I jammed in my Broadway seat until I realized what it was about. I think I must have been quite entertaining to an onlooker. The struggle was real.
I listened to the book of mormon first time at work, I work at a cpa firm I feel you I was muttering fuck you god under my breath dying inside because it was so stuck in my head. Honestly the whole soundtrack was just like wow...
They did make up the words though so you aren’t ACTUALLY singing what it means……thank goodness cuz that song gets stuck in my head nearly every time I watched the show. (I was an usher at a theatre for 5 years…..Lots of Broadway tours….haha)
Lets be real, singing any showtune in public is gonna get you some weird looks no matter what the song is. And I say this as a theater kid who has done so many many times myself XD
Also, I'm surprised nothing from Assassins made this list, especially The Gun Song
Can always spot the theater kids because they the ones singing. Was one guy on our course, always late, always in shorts (even in snow) and regularly broke into opera numbers.
Let them look! The joy of doing theater is worth almost anything. I was heavily involved in theater for 40 years until my heart failed. Keep treading the boards and enjoying every second of it.
I had the same thought. Any Broadway song is gonna require some belt.....people are gonna look. Yeah, most songs in this video would get you weirder looks...eh, who cares. As someone else said....let them look. 🎤🙂
I ain't ashamed to go "Hadestown" anywhere when I feel badass...
Facts
I honestly thought number 1 would be "The entire Book of Mormon soundtrack." I also would have thought Lovely Ladies from Les Miz would be on there, especially if you sing every single part.
This is not a Broadway musical, but singing in public "Not So Bad" from Spies Are Forever is for sure extremely inappropriate, especially without any context.
Yeah, and don't get me started on "No One Remembers Achmed". All hail Achmed, the tiger f**ker 😂 Actually, you probably shouldn't sing almost all the songs from Twisted in public
This was my first thought too even though I knew it wouldn’t be featured in this video
I wanted to write it here as well!
No you should do it, especially when you’re German!
My first thought exactly, I can’t imagine singing it aloud
As someone who has sung some of these in public, its a great way to find theater nerds.
How about "Hello Little Girl" from Into The Woods? The creep factor is quite strong in that song, especially in the film version. Or maybe "Lovely Ladies" from Les Miserables. Lots of innuendos in that song.
'Hello little girl' gave we the serious creeps. I couldn't figure out of it was meant to be vaguely sexual or if ot was just cos I was into wolf Depp. Not one to sing at work in McDonalds
Back in the 1990's I played the Wolf in a community theater production of "Into the Woods" (someone else played Prince Charming) .
This was the first solo I had had in years, so I was very nervous. I recorded it and played it on my walkman every chance I got.
Until...
One day during my lunch break at work, I went for a walk, so I could practice. I didn't realize that I was passing a school, until someone tapped me on my shoulder.
A coworker, on her way back from lunch heard me. She just said "I really don't think you want to sing that here." I was mortified!
Learning the hard way
If the children at the school heard you singing and thought you were singing to or for them.
Uh-oh. 🙊🙈🙉
@@KittyStarlight Yeah. It is a classic example of knowing the appropriate time and place for what you are doing.
I was listening to "You're the One That I Want" from Grease when entering the subway. I belted out "I need a man who can keep me satisfied." You'd think all the men on the platform would have developed whiplash from how quickly they all turned their heads to look at me.
I mean the gibberish doesn’t exactly help
I did it with a fellow graduate at our high school farewell. Our theme was "Love." Let's just say, the teachers should be glad I didn't choose "Summer Nights." Too much innuendo on the guy's half. Besides, "meditate my direction, feel your way" either they didn't click or they turned a blind eye.
Well you can sing it in public, just not around guys
"All you wanna' do" from Six. You literally don't think about it until you start to sing along and then...😬
I actually have done this one, with my 12-year-old daughter. Not a single person seemed to care.
Yeah, on the surface with no context it is not good lmao
And it's so catchy
The “I’m a 10 amongst these 3’s” is one of my favorite stealth theater reference in this song.
Now imagine the person singing “Springtime for Hitler” is your child and you have to explain to that 18 MONTH OLD why they can’t sing that in preschool. 😆😆
So have heard this before. A friend's daughter would go around singing "Springtime for Hitler" when she was three. Her mom thought it was funny till someone at their church started asking her questions.
@@amberkirkpatrick3522 my kid was in a cooperative preschool at a Unitarian church, so I *could* probably have explained it away. But I’m also half Jewish, so it could’ve given a very, VERY wrong impression. Lol My younger kid didn’t speak well (had a bit of a speech impediment) so we didn’t have to worry too much about it (except for when he wanted to watch the Futurama episode where “Bender lost his dick, mama! He lost his dick!”) but my oldest was always very articulate. Definitely took some explanations about what was appropriate and what wasn’t. Luckily he was receptive.
@@TheWifeRottenRomance that's great! Would have laughed so hard to hear that
@@amberkirkpatrick3522 they’re good kids. My oldest still has a love of musicals, and both still love Futurama. 🙂
My 3-year-old once was singing "Think about the Game" from Damn Yankees in preschool...quietly, but the teachers asked me to monitor what shows I listened to within earshot...
The first song that came into my mind was "Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me," so I was delighted to see it come up. I love Mojo and Ms. Mojo lists. They're always fun. Thanks to all for producing them.
Genuinely surprised that Cell Block Tango from Chicago wasn’t on the list, but also I can see And Eve Was Weak from Carrie on the list because it’s all about how periods are evil.
I would replace that song from Book Of Mormon with this song.
You can sing these songs in public! Just ignore everyone else around you when you do!
I know I do , and i have gotten plenty of stares , and I don't give two shits lol well i did not sing spring time for ,,, you know who . lol
amen lol Thank you
No, no, no. I don’t need THAT kind of attention. In fact, anyone doesn’t need that kind of attention.
Exactly! I saw the title of the video and said the same thing.
@@knightwolf9863 well' I've been doing theater since i was 11, so I don't really mind what others think. lol
Some of these shows, like "Book of Mormon" and "Avenue Q" The entire show should be on the list.
That said, one that's not here that I feel could get you on a watch list if you sang in public is "Everybody's Got The Right". I really don't think modern culture would think a song about presidential assassination is catchy or neat.
You can say that about every song in that musical
Avenue Q is beyond underrated. I never thought a parody of Sesame Street would actually be educational, but it really does a great job getting messages across!
So “dead girl walking” is worse than “blue” from heathers? 😂
blue is probably worse, but i thought of dead girl walking immediately 💀
Blue was replaced in 2018 with You're Welcome from the high school edition
@@brandonandrayven816 not just high school edition, Your Welcome replaces Blue in the west end version as well
@@mixedlove217 I said it was FROM the high school version not only in that version. Obviously it was in the West End version because Blue was replaced by Your Welcome. As I clearly already said. Get it now?
Blue was sung as a joke by intoxicated characters during a drunken stunt
Dead girl walking is premeditated sexual encounter made by sober characters.
My friend and I knew "The Producers" movie from the 60s and, of course knew 'the' song (I think they played it on Doctor Dimento a lot, too). The day the soundtrack for the Broadway show with Nathan Lane, etc. came out, we were in Barnes & Noble. They had those listening stations in the music department. My friend saw the soundtrack was available, put on the headphones and was quietly listening. All of a sudden, he just belts out, "SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER AND GERMANYYYY!" I swear I heard the iconic record scratch and all heads turned towards the crazy man standing next to the new release display. 🤣
I sing "Have a Little Priest" to my family ever time I'm cooking a big beast feast fam dinner. They have come to expect it.
Makes my family very nervous, especially if the recipe comes from my Hannibal cook book.
When he was in 2nd grade my son got caught singing “springtime for hitler” on the playground and I got a phone call 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
We had to have a nice long talk with our kid about why they couldn’t sing that song in preschool. He was 18 months old. I feel you! 😆
Oh geez,🤦I am so sorry.
“The Cell Block Tango a.k.a. He Had It Coming” from Chicago is one of those songs, too:
“Single, he tells me--single my a**! Not only was he married, oh no, he had SIX wives! So that night, when he came home from work, I fixed him his drink as usual. ---You know, some guys just CAN’T hold their ARSENIC!”
This song is so incredibly well-known though.
I remember going to see Rent with my dad and hearing Contact for the first time. I was so uncomfortable, I thought it would be like the movie and the movie didn't have that song 😳
John Barrowmen said in his biography that while they were rehearsing Springtime for hitler, the space was in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and Uma Thermen was in her trailer during a break and saw most of the cast was coming outside IN NAZI UNIFORMS and getting a LOT of attention and she came running out of her trailer screaming NO! Get Back INSIDE! 🤣
No way!!!
So true!
Yikes!
Multiple songs from Falsettos come to mind: "Four Jews In A Room Bitching," "My Father's A Homo," and "I'm Breaking Down," in particular.
What is that musical about?
@@mysterykiddo2167According to me, it's about gays and Jews?
Well, at least you can sing March Of The Falsettos!
fun fact - singing along to Ave Q in the quad and outside the cafeteria was how I made 99% of my college friends and got together a group of silly, funny, down-to-earth dorks who are still friends today! ;D
Queen sang "big spender" as part of an encore medley in their early concerts like at The Rainbow and the Odeon Hammersmith '75, but I didn't know where the song was from. Looking back with this new info, I knew Freddie had guts on stage but whoa! As Adam Lambert said it best "This guy was fearless!"
I feel like 'Dance Ten: Looks Three" should definitely be on the list as well.
IKR? I feel like that one should have at least scored an honorable mention!
Especially if your a guy singing it.
Most of that show should be on the list as well
A guy I was dating wasn't happy when his 12yo twin girls started singing it. "I'm assuming they heard this at your place?" Told him there were worse songs.
@@sugarsong7 I was in a Summer Stock production of this show...and I had that song. My little sister knew every word by heart...and my parents had to insist she NEVER sing it at school. (She was considerably younger than me...) Heck, she knew EVERY song from A Chorus Line, and many are not appropriate to be sung by a 5th grader...
I work at a religious organization and all week I've had "The Whole Being Dead Thing" from Beetlejuice stuck in my head... it's super inconvenient 😅
I feel ya. I once got "Dance: Ten; Looks:Three" stuck in my head during VBS week. It was awkward.
@@philyra2 🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg that's so horrifying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have that song on my Halloween playlist and I must have listened to it so much that it came up on most played song of 2021
Just imagine if you worked in a morgue or funeral home... now that would be inappropriate as well lol 😆
Hey Jesus… pass the Dramamine 😂
Musicals you just generally shouldn’t be singing in public:
The Book of Mormon
Heathers
Spring Awakening
Avenue Q
The Producers
Beetlejuice
Carrie
Rocky Horror (Picture) Show
Repo! The Genetic Opera
You mean I'm not supposed to tell people that Zydrate comes in a little glass vial?
South Park
Hair
Rent
Team America:World Police
YES someone recognizes Repo! !!!
Well I can sing Lifeboat and Dead Mom in public
You're NOT supposed to sing "Springtine for Htler" when it randomly pops into your head? Well,then...
speaking of
in history we're learning about ww2 and the whole class the song is just playing in the back of my head on loop
like bro this is a serious situation i shouldnt be hearing gay hitler singing in my head 😭
@@littlesomebody_ I hate it when our brains do that. Like,get a grip,dude, this is important. And our brains go like "Lol no"
@@marielarodriguezureta836 yea 💀
Literally just sang it last week and haven’t thought Of the song in years
I heard it play on a bus at Disney World
Yeah, try singing the songs from “South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut” in public. People really have a problem with that…but the songs get stuck in your head, they’re so catchy.
South Park, Book of Mormon, Avenue Q. One reason musical theatre never reached me because there's never smut, bad taste, or anything offensive. This is why theater nerds NEED those aforementioned works.
It's so hard to get Uncle F-er out of your head once you hear it
I had "Kyle's Mom is a Bitch" stuck in my head at work the other day for hours! I'm a nurse, I can't sing that at work! 😂
Blame Canada, not the song, just the truth!
@@jeffbrehove2614 Have you never listened to Hair?
I saw The Producers on stage, and completely lost it during "Springtime for Hitler". Fortunately, I wasn't the only one laughing
That song was one of the highlights from “The Producers”. Both the original movie and the stage musical adaptation.
It's okay to laugh. The films/show were created by a Jewish man.
I worked in costuming on a production of it, and OMG the costume room banter is stuff I’ll never forget. :D Men in uniforms tend to look hot if there’s no SS insignia on it, right? So we had these got guys dancing around when we were making the costumes. And then the insignia went on and they weren’t innocuous uniforms anymore. They were Nazis. The internal conflicts about that…
I have sung Little Priest out in public before. Can confirm, side-eyes were given. (this was before the movie musical came out)
When my daughter was about 7, we were listening to the Avenue Q soundtrack on the way to Home Depot. We don’t censor Broadway in this house, any of it. We discuss instead of censor. Anyway, kiddo’s nickname was Boogs. So when we’re walking in, I riffed on that song…”The internet is for Boogs,” and then she loudly, LOUDLY, chastised me. “NO, Mom! The internet is for porn!” I nearly died!
The one that immediately popped into my head was “Texas Has a Whorehouse in It” from “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” Yes, it started out as a Broadway musical and yes, I’ve only seen the movie. All of the music is fantastic but that song is the most fun (and the most inappropriate to sing at the top of your lungs while walking down the street).
Especially in Dallas 😂😂
"Lord have mercy on our souls!" (Tambourine clash)
Imagine your barely talking little girl singing it in her stroller in a UK village. Not so bad except it has a US air base nearby and of course there were airmen all out that day!!
Rocky Horror Picture Show; I'm sweet transvestite from Transylvania
"Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" could be on the list. Though it is a little funny to hear kindergartners sing "lousy with va-gin-in-knee." We had the Grease soundtrack at our daycare and we forgot about the song until it was a little late.
1- you *can* sing any of these songs you want in public. You just have to deal with people give you looks of a judgy and significant nature.
2- Excuse me but HOW on this good green earth did you skip Sodomy from Hair?! You can't even say the title in public, let alone any of the lyrics!
Seriously! I had to turn the movie off because it was so WTF.
When I was around twelve I saw Hair for the first time and the day after this song was stuck in my head. Around midday I got the brilliant idea to actually go to the library and look up the meaning of the words. I didn't sing for the rest of the day.... 😅
Yep. Came here looking for this one.
I was in early elementary school when my parents bought the Hair soundtrack album, and played it frequently. Loved that song. Had NO idea what any of the words meant. It's a nice short song, easy to remember the lyrics. But no. Do not sing it in public! Be very careful who's around when you sing it. OMG.
Thank you! I was waiting for it all video!
sodomy? That’s fairly mild compared to Black Boys/White Boys and Colored Spade which would get your ass kicked.
I'd put "Molasses to Rum" from 1776 in here, and "It Depends on What You Pay" (original lyrics) from The Fantasticks. Also "Hello, Little Girl" from Into the Woods
actual thing that happened today:
my whole entire *middle school* cast: *literally belting dead girl walking*
our director: *sips tea and doesn’t even look up from his phone* my dear children…
Springtime For Hitler HAS to be #1!! I remember one time my airpods died and the song started playing out loud in my AP World History class during the lesson about World War 2
For sure Not so Bad from Spies Are Forever comes to mind for me even though it's not technically Broadway
I have been caught many times singing "Toucha, Toucha, Touch Me" in public. More times out in actual public than at a midnight showing of RHPS. 🤣
I used to frequently get Hasa Diga Eebowai stuck in my head while working as a cashier. It was definitely a struggle not to accidentally sing the lyrics under my breath in front of customers.
It's not Broadway, but speaking of South Park's creators, imagine singing Uncle F-er or Kyle's Mom in public. :)
Omg... Yes!!
I'm already dying thinking of the weird looks I'd get if I randomly started belting out "you're a c-sucking, a-licking uncle f-er" in public
A couple more that should have been on the list, "Sodomy" or "Colored Spade" from Hair, and "Dance 10, Looks 3" from A Chorus Line
Colored Spade would get your ass kicked in Public, I was also thinking Black Boys/White boys.
Most songs from Heathers, all you wanna do, don’t loose your head, anything from avenue q, here for you(9 to 5)…
I always pause DLYH just to do the “ I guess he just really like my head” bit in public everytime.
When I worked for Barnes and Noble, one of the cd’s we had for in store was Linda Eder’s greatest hits. At the time I was going through a slightly (or really) promiscuous phase. Every time Bring On The Men came in, several of my coworkers who were also friends would look at me with a “listen, your song is playing”. I was actually surprised they let us play the uncensored version
they let you play the uncensored version?? no way 😂
I watched this video yesterday and it made me want to watch The Producers. Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick are comedy duos. They work so well together.
You know... I see "A Little Priest" on this list and I wonder how it made my mom and I look singing it during a talent show at our church years ago.
Molasses to Rum really should have been on this list. It's a great song and works well for the show, but you can't really sing it out of context.
"Everybody's Got the Right" from Assassins (or anything from that show!). I have gotten some *very* alarmed looks for lyrics like "c'mere and kill a President".
I would have joined in!
Haha, I had it stuck in my head and kept singing "you wanna kill a president" on time when I was in DC. I actually think that was when I saw Come From Away at Ford's Theatre, which was even more inappropriate, haha. 😅
That or Ballad of Booth (for the n-word)
I wondered if Book Of Mormon would be there, my favourite song is”Turn It Off”.
It is
My class's highschool play was "The Producers"... During our general rehearsal, our French exchange student was present as we perform "Springtime for Hitler"😅... He looked angry and we had no idea why but then I listened to the lyrics more closely... Oops 😅 we're from the Philippines so we didn't know most details about Hitler's tyranny
Oops, indeed!
And who else burst into tears at Collins whimpering "it's over"?
I sang Big Spender even when I was in grade school. It was big on variety shows in the '60s. But everything was so innocent and people were so naive, that it was portrayed as being about dime-a-dance girls.
Lol you forgot "lovely ladies" from les mis my mom randomly broke into that one and embarrassed the heck out of me 😂
Honestly, at first glance, I didn't think much of the lyrics. It seemed catchy and upbeat, but then I really listened and I was like oh😳
I quietly sing “Dead Girl Walking” in public sometimes 😅 Heathers is my favorite musical ever!
I looove the fact that as a brazilian teenage girl i can sing Toucha, toucha, toucha touch me as loud as can in my kitchen with my mother right there and she doesn't understand a thing ; )
See, I feel most people know Mel Brooks’s work well enough to understand if I started belting Springtime for Hitler at a 7-11. SPECIFICALLY at a 7-11!
I’m regularly known to be found singing Springtime for Hitler and songs from the Book of Mormon two of my all-time favorite musicals. If I get funny looks I just swap to Phantom of the Opera.
Honestly, I am suprised that no one has talked about sincerely me.
That was the first song that came to mind for me lol
Blue from heathers would be an extremely innapropriate song to sing in public! Also, with dead girl walking, I said some of the lyrics trying to explain something to my friend "namely the line that starts with slap me", this boy overheard and now things I'm really weird 😂
On the other hand, if you start singing with the right crowd you have yourself a sing-a-long.
Not quite public but singing 'a little priest' from sweeney todd while I'm making dinner draws looks. Lol
I’m surprised two ladies from Cabaret isn’t on there!
Same here
honestly, Poison in my Pocket sounds like a fantastic song to make eye contact with random strangers to
Don’t forget He Vas My Boyfriend or Please Don’t Touch Me from Young Frankenstein
I’d put either of those in the #8 spot honestly.
@@Showtunediva me too
please dont touch me randomly came on for my dad one time....i pretended like i had no idea what it was from-
They missed "Masturbation Can Be Fun" from Hair. I tried singing it in my town''s talent show in 1971 in Louisiana - didn't go over real well.
You know i still remember getting a bunch of people to sing all you wanna do in our school. If we can share stories about people we almost killed in middleschool or billboards that say fed up crap out school shows how much it'd care
I remember being in DC a few years back with music from Assassins stuck in my head. I kept randomly singing "you wanna kill a president." 🤭
„Sexy“ from mean girls is also not too well in public
Well only the beginning is ok, I sing it all the time. But if you sing it in public, ppl will want to be sexy now.
I watched this expressly hoping that "Bring On the Men" would at least get a mention! Gotta say some of the songs from "Miss Saigon" would easily deserve a place on this list. Like the number the girls in the bar do during the "pageant" in the beginning, or a good portion of the stuff showcasing the Engineer. "American Dream" is his best-known number, but the lesser-known "What a Waste"- good Lord, that song is RAUNCHY. Also, to change shows, have to add that "Master of the House" from "Les Miz" has some pretty risque and low-brow lines too....
Also beneath a moonless sky from love never dies , but any sane person would never sing any song from that musical
This is true
That Glee rendition of Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch me was very interesting when I first saw it. I’m glad it made it on the list! It’s always fun when you know a movie/song/etc when it makes it on a top 10 list!
When I first saw Les Miserables on stage, "Lovely Ladies" was stuck in my head.
I thought Dance: 10 Looks: 3 from A Chorus Line would be at least an honorable mention, lol.
-- "Dance, Ten; Looks, Three" from "A Chorus Line"
-- "Hominy Grits" from "Grey Gardens"
-- "Silverware" from "We Take the Town"
-- And, if you want to venture Off-Broadway, "Story of My Life" from "Hello, Again."
Hominy Grits is absolutely the one that came to my head.
@@AlisonPratt-vc3os And it's SO CATCHY! :D
Currently at Times Square humming all of these 😂
Lol
Believe me, no one in Times Square will bat an eye at that 🤣😂🙂😂
When I saw the clip, I immediately knew what the #1 should be, and I was pleased to be right. Apparently this channel thinks that "Hasa Diga Eebowai" is so offensive that they aren't even willing to include anyone singing the translation of what it means.
The translation would result in UA-cam demonetizing the video. In my area, the biggest fans of this production, oddly, are Mormons. A few years back, when the production was on tour, there was such an uproar for more shows that, when the production had a few weeks off, they blew off the break and came back for an encore run. It sells out faster than Hamilton here.
I LOVE The Producers! Many of the songs are inappropriate, and endlessly fun to sing.
I was sitting outside my work one day in my car, finishing my drive thru iced coffee, while listening to Springtime for Hitler.
A customer walks up and asks if I can change to song.
I said sure and put on I am What I am from La Cage aux Folles.
It was rude, obnoxious, insulting... and I loved every minute of it!
I’d have “King Herod’s Song” from Jesus Christ Superstar at least on the Honorable Mention list…
I don’t know, that’s actually in the Bible. They might get offended at the Trial before Pilate:
“We have no king but Caesar!
Crucify him!”
I've sung little priest in public, the looks I get make me laugh. If anyone asked I point out how its a dark humored song and they usually understand
I've done this too! The funny looks you get are hilarious. I have the soundtrack on my playlist for travelling so it happens often 😅
"Just the Gas" From "Little Shop of Horrors". Just imagine someone singing that they're high on gas while laughing like a maniac. Would it be something I'd do though? Absolutely. 😅
My friend and I once switched music and I was listening to Beetlejuice, so naturally I put on Creepy Old Guy and started at the chorus
Cell Block Tango from Chicago comes to mind. I think people might look at you strange if you say "he ran into my knife 10 times" or "he had it coming" and All You Wanna Do and Don't Lose Your Head both from Six.
OMG i am always finding myself singing Creepy Old Guy from Beetlejuice.. so glad nobody heard me belting out " saggy old asses"
Toucha toucha touch me is even worse to sing out loud in public if you're with friends who shout out the callbacks & lines from the audience during it.
My year four self heard “Everyone’s a little both racist” from Avenue Q and my god, I was doing a kick line while singing it
Lovely Ladies from Les Miserables. Popped in the soundtrack. Guess what song my then 5 year old would belt out?
I made the mistake of posting a rehearsal clip of me playing one of the lovely ladies to advertise the high school production of Les Miz I was in on Facebook and apparently one of my little cousins saw it
In the red states, sadly the song "I Am What I Am" can't be sung in public.
