I would just like to announce that for no readily apparent reason, I have the song "Getting To Know You" from The Sound of Music stuck in my head. Maybe now the earworm will infect my friends list and leave me the hell alone.

That is all.

EDIT: As chellen so perspicaciously pointed out, "Getting to Know You" is in fact from The King and I. Silly me.

EDIT 2: I figured out where the earworm came from. wednes posted an entry today entitled "Getting to know you's." Somehow my brain decided to interpret that as a request for the lyrics to a song from a musical that I haven't seen since middle school. Oy.

Ahh...except it's from The King and I

Don't even try to mess with my musical knowledge!

*smooch*

*gasp* You're right. Must correct that forrthwith.

Having been in the King and I, I was just about to post that correction myself.

Oh god, the horror! Melanie, you just brought back some really bad memories. Like when my crush described me as "intellectual." Even at fifteen, I knew 'intellectual' didn't equal a date for homecoming.

I corrected it because I've been in The Sound of Music.

Yes, I was Mother Abbess. If everyone I know would now try to picture me in a nun's habit, I will prepare for the gales of laughter to follow.

Actually, no 'correction' is necessary, as The Sound Of Music and The King And I are actually interchangeable titles for the same story told in the same idiom and featuring the same musical score.

If they are wearing a lot of fake eye-makeup and the set is decorated like a Chinese restaurant, it is probably being billed as The King and I. If they have more hair and the set is decorated like a Nazi wedding cake, it will be advertised as The Sound Of Music.

Any other difference between the two rests completely in the imagination of the audience.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Revenge? Who, me? :whistles innocently:

:wanders back in, humming the tune from the "It's a small world" ride:

Ah yes, revenge: a dish best served cold, no?

Bitch, I'ma keel you!

*sticks fingers in ears and loudly hums the theme from Titanic*

So there.

*smiles sweetly*
