Funny Spamalot clips

So, I think I should say why I’m suddenly so interested in Spamalot. Well, Clay’s been acting in it in the ongoing Broadway performance. While there’s no clack of that online, there’s plenty from other performances available to watch. Funny!!!! Here’s two musical clips and lyrics: (the clips are not too good, after all, cameras are technically not allowed in theatres. Read the lyrics. Awfully funny.)

Once in every show There comes a song like this
It starts off soft and low And ends up with a kiss
Oh where is the song that goes like this
Where is it? Where? Where?

A sentimental song If it casts a magic spell
They only hum along We’ll over-act like Hell
Oh, this is the song that goes like this
Yes it is Yes it is Yes it is Yes it is

Now we can go straight into the middle eight
A bridge that is too far for me
I’ll sing it in your face While we both embrace
And then we change the key

Now we’re into E
Hm, that’s awfully high for me
But everyone can see We should have stayed in D
For this is our song that goes like this

I’m feeling very proud. You’re singing far too loud
That’s the way that this song goes
You’re standing on my toes
Singing our song that goes like this

I can’t believe there’s more
It’s far too long I’m sure
That’s the trouble with this song – It goes on and on and on
For this is our song that is too long

Jesus Christ God Damnit!

When we’ve taken this too long
You’ll wish that you weren’t born
Let’s stop this damn refrain
Before we go insane

The song always ends like this!!!!!!

What ever happened to my part?
It was exciting at the start.
Now we’re halfway through Act 2
And I’ve had nothing yet to do.

I’ve been offstage for far too long
It’s ages since I had a song.
This is one unhappy Diva
The producer’s have deceived her.
There is nothing I can sing from my heart.
Whatever Happened to My Part?

I am sick of my career
Always starting second gear
Up to here, with frustration and with fears.
I’ve no Grammy no Rewards,
I’ve no Tony Awards,
I’m Constantly replaced by Britney Spears

Whatever Happened to My Show?
I was a hit, now I don’t know.
I’m with a bunch of British Knights,
Prancing ’round in woolly tights.

I might as well go to the Pub
They’ve been out searching for a shrub
Out shopping for a Bush
Well they can kiss my Tush
It seems to me they’ve really lost the plot

Whatever Happened to My
I’ll Call my Agent, Dammit
Whatever Happened to My
Not Yours, Not Yours, By My, Part!

This Lady of the Lake sings superbly!!!! Omg!!!! Anyway, ya. Funny show that’s been making me laugh for the past few days. There are other funny parts of course, like for eg, when ‘God’ appears to give King Arthur his quest for the grail. (God the almighty and all knowing has misplace a cup?). Or at the beginning when Arthur is trying to convince the guard that he found the coconut (Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?). Oh oh! And the king of Swamp Castle telling Lancelot that he’s gay!!!! Lol!!!!! It’s so funny I can’t even say. You know, when I first watched “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, I was thinking what a stupid lame show it is. But second viewing shows it’s funny and the stage performance is hilarious (not as lame as the film. Maybe it works better for the stage). Yeah. Wish there’d be a staging in SG. I’d go.
