Impromptu meme

Recently I watched Singin in the Rain again, because [livejournal.com profile] kphoebe hadn't seen it! It's the most fabulous, gayest, poly-est film ever (ok, debatable, but still), and I love it. Definitely my favourite musical.

So, an impromptu meme-thing! for my entertainment :D

1. Go to YouTube

2. Search for your favourite number in your favourite musical

3. Embed it in a comment here for me. (Or, you know. If you're that excited, post about it in your LJ, but link me back to it!)

4. If you can't decide/have a shortlist; embed one and link to the others.



Donald O'Connor & Gene Kelly doing "Fit as a Fiddle" (from Singin in the Rain):


Other faves of mine include:
- Cell Block Tango (from Chicago)
- Make 'em Laugh (again, Singin in the Rain)
- Please, Mister Jailer (CryBaby)


OK GO.

Best. Meme. Ever.

My fave from Singin' in the Rain - "Moses"



"I Can Do Without You" from Calamity Jane



"Prehistoric Man" from On the Town (I wanted to be Ann Miller - I even planned to have that dress for my formal. Sigh.)



"Century Plant" from Camp (Okay, it's not technically a musical-musical, but it still makes me smile and get teary)



Aaannnd then I spammed you with lame musical clips. Ha!

I just adore Debbie Reynolds' face:


I can't *not* include Rocky Horror:


Slashiest. Musical. Ever. Even though this is one of the non-slashy scenes because I have an irresistable urge to thumb Jesus whenever he's on screen.
