The Answer Is. . .

don't worry Matt; I assumed that if anyone answered, that's probably how they'd find out. ;)

The lyrics are from the musical Gypsy, which is based on the autobiography of burlesque stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. The song that the lyrics are from is used a bunch fo different times during the show-- it starts off as this cutesy little song-and-dance number that Louise (later Gypsy) and June are pushed to perform by their over-bearing stage mother and by the end, it's the song Louise uses during her strips. . .with a slightly different tone than before, hehe.

It's a really, really good show. A lot of people would say it's the best show of all time, but you know which other musical wins that accolade from me. >: ) There are like 6 or 7 different recordings of Gypsy, of which I have three (one with Angela Lansbury, one with Jonathan, one with Bernadette Peters) and I do listen to all of them! You've probably heard of the song "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and this musical is what it's from. It's a good song to run to, actually (hehe). And Family Guy even did a spoof of the scene/song one time-- I wish I remembered which episode, but it was GREAT. ^__^

Well, gotta go workout and shower and stuff now. Don't know if I'll write again tonight, but I'm always around.
