Something stupid* - Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman

Nothing like something stupid to help you get yr mind off things. I decided to catch Spamalot - the musical based on Monty Phython and The Holy Grail. It was brilliant! Lame, but... i mean, lame AND brilliant!

Sure, they did rehash a lot of the jokes from the movie - they even did the Black Knight scene - but there were a lot of new stuffs.

I think the actors had as much fun or even more than us audience.

Here's the lyrics for one of the songs to give you an idea of how lame it is:-

--GUY--
Once in every show
There comes a song like this,
It starts out soft and low
And ends up_ with a kiss.
Oh where is the song that goes like this

--SPOKEN SOLO--
Where is it?!
Where?!
Where?!

--GIRL--
A sentimental song
That casts a magic spell.
They all will hum along
We'll ov-er-act as well
Oh this is the song that goes like this

--SPOKEN--
Guy: yes it is
Girl: yes it is
Guy: yes it is
Girl(accented): YES IT IS

--GUY--
Now we can go straight
Into the middle eight
A bridge that is too far for me

--GIRL--
I'll sing it in your face
While we both embrace
And then...
We'll change the key

--GUY--
Now we're into E
That's aw-f'lly high for me

--GIRL--
But ev-'ry-one can see
We should have stayed in D.

--BOTH--
For this is our song
That goes like this

--GUY--
I'm feeling very proud

--GIRL--
You're singing far too loud

--GUY--
That's the way this song goes

--GIRL--
You're standing on my toes

--BOTH--
Singing the song
That goes like this

--GIRL--
I can't believe there's more

--GUY--
It's far too long I'm sure

--GIRL--
That's the trouble with this song
It goes on and on and on

--BOTH--
For this is the song
That is too long

--GIRL--
We'll be singing this till dawn

--GUY--
You'll wish that you weren't born

--GIRL--
Let's stop this refrain

--BOTH--
Before we go insane
The song always ends
Like this

Well, the show has ended and i'm back in the real world. On the bright side, the bank called up and said they would refund me money!!!! But i would gladly not receive it if it meant that the bad news received yesterday did not take place.

*sigh*

I miss being on stage...

*Love this song - the oldie feel, the nice harmonisation!
