#christmas musical songs

[musicalrecs]

Yesterday we has Angela Lansbury singing a Christmas song in a Jerry Herman musical. Today we have... Angela Lansbury singing a Christmas song in a different Jerry Herman musical. You're welcome. :D

A Hallmark Christmas movie from back when that meant something very different than it does today, Mrs. Santa Claus is about, well, Mrs. Santa Claus. She accidentally gets stranded in New York while testing out a new sleigh route and ends up marching for women's suffrage, unionizing a toy workshop, and, as this is a Jerry Herman musical, wearing a stunning red gown while the cast toasts her for being an impeccable woman.

I've loved this movie since my family first taped it off the TV, so I'm thrilled it's been uploaded to youtube so I can share it with all of you.

So we've all heard of the "I Want Song" genre in musicals.

But what about the "Let's talk about the bitch behind their back like they're not in the room" song, or "singing s*** behing a bitche's back". There's a surprising amount of them.

"Belle" from Beauty and the Beast

"Scrooge" from Muppet Christmas Carol

"Maria" from The Sound of Music

"Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee" from Grease

"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from How The Grinch Stole Christmas

"Jackass In a Can" from Galavant

"Phony King of England" from Robin Hood

"Stepsister's Lament" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella

"Non-Stop" from Hamilton

And, of course, the man, the myth, the legend...

"We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto

You can learn a lot about a character and story from what they sing versus what other people sing about them.

Weird Al made a Christmas polka, which is just Polka Face but Christmas songs. It was completely unintelligible and four hours long.

"What will we do with a Christmas turkey? What will we do with a Christmas turkey? What will we do with a Christmas turkey? Early in the morning!"

Today's musical Christmas song is an entire damn special, featuring none other than Julie Andrews on location in Salzburg (where The Sound of Music was filmed).

The Sound of Christmas was a childhood favorite of mine, and I was delighted when it appeared on Youtube in HD glory a few years ago.

And oh, what's that? You're not a big fan of The Sound of Music? Well this special also includes a suite of songs from Sondheim's A Little Night Music (because why not?) and even Mozart's specially composed "A Christmas Fantasy." (No, really.)

This special is an absolute treat, is what I'm getting at, and you owe yourself a watch. Maybe share with your mom, too.

alrrrrr since it's almost Christmas you guys are getting some Christmas headcanons despite me being Jewish

If u guys want I can try and upload the pictures from Halloween of my friend and I as Steve and soda :)

ANYWAY HERE

Ponyboy:

does not get Steve a present

Is the kind of guy to absolutely fucking tackle people during a white elephant bc he knows what the gifts are

Refuses to wear Christmas pajamas until Johnny gets sad and he gives in

Watches the grinch on repeat (it's getting concerning)

Wakes everyone up at 6 to open presents

Blasting Christmas music all month

Sodapop:

Tried to hit Mariah's whistle notes but only succeeded in annoying Dally

Keeps making knee surgery jokes (I'm so sorry)

Makes everyone handmade gifts instead of buying things bc he thinks it's more thoughtful

Put a picture of the gang on top of the tree instead of a star

They can't afford fancy ornaments so they all have a day where they make ornaments together

He made one with a bunch of pictures of Steve on it bc he loves his boyfriend

Dally:

insists violent night is a Christmas movie

Shoplifts everyone's gifts

Secretly loves Christmas lights but doesn't want to look like a softie or whatever so he secretly decorated the house with (stolen) lights overnight and blamed Darry (who went along with it)

Stands outside the house for when carolers come so he can throw things at them :(

If you guys want more I can give you more but that's all for now

My favourite thing about Christmas is watching the Fairytale of New York music video and seeing Matt Dillon play at hot police officer
