+ClareLouise Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 I'll take a stab at Rowlf if Rolph is wrong. Edit- I timed that toilet trip just wrong, lol! Well, it's unusual for me to beat anyone on this game on timing! Like I said, I've just spent a week watching the muppets, and could have got them all straight off if it wasn't for the timing... I want to work for Jim Henson... I need to practise a LOT before I'm up to sending an audition video though! Quote
+keehotee Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Oh, Rowlf is how you spell it, I think! Ding... As you got the last answer, but CHC had 2.5 dings - final Ding and the honour (?) of setting the next question goes to the first of you two to read this and set one...... mwahahahahahahahaha Quote
+ClareLouise Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 Well, if CHC are feeling gutted at missing the chance, I'll withdraw this question, but here goes... 6 random lines from random musicals! Dings for anyone who gets them right- bonus dings for anyone who can tell me the character and song title! 1. "I'm only thinking of him, whatever I may do or say, I'm only thinking of him" 2. "Life's more painless for the brainless, why think to hard when it's so soothing?" 3. " You must be always on your guard, or he will catch you with his magical lasso!" 4. "It's just a light romance, nothing cruel, they made no plans" 5. "Knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians, tightrope walkers and acrobats" 6. " Pray pray pray, I pray I make P.A." Good luck! Quote
+minstrelcat Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 5 - Cats - the title of the song is "Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer" and one of those characters is singing that line. Quote

+jenandberry Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 We think 1 might be chess, don't know about song title and 4 is blood brothers, the song is light romance and its sung by the narrator. Quote

+Simply Paul Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Is it too soon to call for clues? Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) 6. " Pray pray pray, I pray I make P.A." Is from the Fame musical Edit to add, the P.A. they talk about is the school for the performing arts ... and I thought a few of them sang it, can't recall if it was one individual in particular. Edited April 20, 2008 by Dorsetgal & GeoDog Quote
NickPick Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 So, I guess that we're all stumped by these questions. I've googled some of them and have never heard of them (but that's not much of a suprise). So do we wait for a musicals expert to stumble upon this thread, or should ClareLouise put us out of our misery, get a bonus point for stumping us all, and set a new question? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 I'm playing my official Gee It Up card. Come on ClareLouise, give us some initial letters, or something! Also, a recap of the questions and the answers (correct or otherwise) would be handy Quote
+ClareLouise Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 We think 1 might be chess, don't know about song title and 4 is blood brothers, the song is light romance and its sung by the narrator. 3 Dings for number 4... 1 is not Chess, I'm afriad! Quote
+ClareLouise Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 6. " Pray pray pray, I pray I make P.A." Is from the Fame musical Edit to add, the P.A. they talk about is the school for the performing arts ... and I thought a few of them sang it, can't recall if it was one individual in particular. Yep, you're right! Ding for the musical, and for the fact that it's sung by a few! (So that's two!) Quote
+ClareLouise Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Well, if CHC are feeling gutted at missing the chance, I'll withdraw this question, but here goes... 6 random lines from random musicals! Dings for anyone who gets them right- bonus dings for anyone who can tell me the character and song title! 1. "I'm only thinking of him, whatever I may do or say, I'm only thinking of him" 2. "Life's more painless for the brainless, why think to hard when it's so soothing?" 3. " You must be always on your guard, or he will catch you with his magical lasso!" Right, 1 ding to Nediam- it is Phantom of the Opera! 4. "It's just a light romance, nothing cruel, they made no plans"- 3 dings to jenandberyy 5. "Knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians, tightrope walkers and acrobats" - 3 dings to MinstrelCat 6. " Pray pray pray, I pray I make P.A."- 2 dings to Dorset Girl (the song title is still up for grabs!) Good luck! Quote
+ClareLouise Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 No. 3 - Phantom of the Opera Ding. Anyone one know who sings it or the song title? Quote
+ClareLouise Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 OK, clue time! (Apologies for the delay at getting back, I've not have iternet access for the past few days!) 1. "I'm only thinking of him, whatever I may do or say, I'm only thinking of him" Hint: It was a film featuring Peter O'Toole 2. "Life's more painless for the brainless, why think to hard when it's so soothing?" Hint: A new-ish musical to London, arrived from Broadway and proving to be very "Popular". There are posters for this EVERYWHERE on the Underground! Quote
+kennamatic Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Number 2 seems familiar and i've only een a couple of musicals this year so I'll guess at Wicked! Quote
+ClareLouise Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Number 2 seems familiar and i've only een a couple of musicals this year so I'll guess at Wicked! Ding! It is indeed! Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 So what is the state of play here now please? Quote

Any thoughts, anyone? Quote
+The Blorenges Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Hmmm... right, things currently stand at: 3 dings to Minstel Cat 3 dings to jenandberry 2 dings to Dorset Girl 1 ding to Nediam 1 ding to kennamatic Am happy to call it a day at that, and whichever of MC and J&B do it first can set the next question, or to let people try and get the remaining bits... doesn't bother me which way it goes!

+minstrelcat Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 *claps hand over ears* Sorry, wasn't expecting to be called upon to set the next question! Carrying on the same theme then, name the musical and song title these lyrics come from (I'll leave out character to make it a bit easier) 1. "All the little boys excited, All the little girls delighted, What a lot of fun for ev'ryone, Sitting in the sun all day." 2. "Red - the blood of angry men! Black - the dark of ages past! Red - a world about to dawn! Black - the night that ends at last!" 3. " For he's a master criminal who can defy the law, He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair" 4. "We'll think of you every time she's on the air, We'd love you to stay but you'd be in the way, So do up your trousers and go" 5. "I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead. " Lisa Quote
+rutson Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 1: The Sun has got his hat on. 2: Les Mis 3: 4: Evita? 5: Quote

+Al & Tracy Smith Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 5. "I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead. " That would be "Chicago" I think. Quote
+minstrelcat Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 5. "I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead. " That would be "Chicago" I think. Correct! I just need the name of the musical in question 1 and the name of the songs in questions 2, 4 and 5. The person who gets the last one right gets the big DING. Quote
+Al & Tracy Smith Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Whopps didn't read all the question! 5. song name is "Cell Block Tango" Quote
