There are now 2 types of experimental connections puzzles in existence: the one Peter365 came up with ("Experimental Connections Puzzle") and the one I did ("Experimental Film: A strange sort of connections puzzle"); both need clever names. Since I can't think of any, I'll just say that this puzzle is the former. Post lyrics to songs from musicals and state what musical it is from. If the musical has the three criteria I'm thinking of, I will respond with another lyric (from the same musical, but not necessarily the same song); if not, I will say No and try to make some sort of pun while doing so. I'll also state how many of the criteria it did hit. Curtains up -- go! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again. Les Misérables Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the Hidden Paw For he's a master criminal who can defy the law. He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime, Macavity's not there!

Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men? It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again. Les Misérables There is a room that's full of toys, There are a hundred boys and girls, Nobody shouts or talks too loud, Not in my castle on a cloud. Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the Hidden Paw For he's a master criminal who can defy the law. He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime, Macavity's not there! Cats Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones In fact, he's remarkably fat He doesn't haunt pubs - he has eight or nine clubs For he's the St. James's Street Cat! Hakuna Matata What a wonderful phrase Hakuna Matata Ain't no passing craze It means no worries for the rest of your days It's our problem-free philosophy The Lion King This one may not worry but it's a No. It does fit 2 out of 3 though Ol' man river, dat ol' man river He must know sumptin', but don't say nuthin' He dast keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along He don't plant 'taters, he don't plant cotton But dem dat plants dem, is soon forgotten But ol' man river, he keeps on rollin' along Showboat It can stop rolling: No, but another 2-fer.

Well, that sledgehammer wasn't that effective at all. I'm certainly out of practice... Does criterion #1 have anything to do with the source of the musical? Does criterion #2? Does criterion #2 have anything to do with actors playing a role of an animal singing songs? Actors playing a role of another human being singing songs? When you said that the 1902 version of the Wizard of Oz may be missing 1 or 2 criteria, criterion #3 is obviously one of them. Is criterion #1 the potentially missing criterion? Is criterion #2? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Does #1 have to do with the absence of a single word (i.e. none of the songs in the musical can contain this word in order to qualify for #1)? In either case, is only one word involved?

Close every door to me, Hide all the world from me, Bar all the windows And shut out the light. Do what you want with me, Hate me and laugh at me, Darken my daytime And torture my night. If my life were important I Would ask will I live or die, But I know the answers Lie far from this world. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Go go go Joseph you know what they say Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day Sha la la Joseph you're doing fine You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise All lost in a wonderland A stranger in paradise If I stand starry-eyed That's a danger in paradise For mortals who stand beside An angel like you ~Kismet When or where Could you compare High life To the life you find here? I am what I am And what I am needs no excuses. I deal my own deck Sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces. There's one life, and there's no return and no deposit; One life, so it's time to open up your closet. Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am!" ~La Cage aux Folles We face life though it's sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter Face life with a little guts and lots of glitter Don't forget, Don't be slow, Ready, set, here we go, Wendy, Michael, John, Tinkerbell come on! Hurry up and follow me for I will soon be gone, I'm flying! ~Peter Pan To cook a cake quite large And fill each layer in between With icing mixed with poison Till it turns a tempting green Like you I once was wild, Been shouted, "Oh you kid!" A life of shame I led, And dirty doings did Until one night I saw the light And heard salvation's call... I'm so glad I didn't hear it Until I did it all! Repent! Though sinning may seem swell, Repent! Reform! Renounce! Reclaim! Repent or go to he-e-e-e-ll! ~On the Twentieth Century Let down the drawbridge While you keep the motor racing Maybe we'll have to swim the river Working for Jaffee, though continually crazy, Also destroys the heart and liver The chaotic life Of a twelve year old Is too hard And you never know what’s coming next But in spelling Things have logic and line And in spelling There’s a greater design ~25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee How could a flea Such as me Think he’d be Good at spelling? Molasses to rum to slaves, oh what a beautiful waltz. You dance with us, we dance with you. Molasses and rum and slaves. ~1776 I was waiting for someone to guess this one! Mr. Adams, but, Mr. Adams I cannot write with any style or proper etiquette I don't know a participle from a predicate I am just a simple cobbler from Connecticut The willow that I used to climb May bend a little more. The paint may all be peelin' off The front porch and the door. No matter what I'm headin' back And whistlin' as I go For better or for worse it's still The only home I know. ~Shenandoah Nope side note: I randomly noticed that this appears to be the post of excessively long and excessively short musical titles. So it does... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

That's all right... the table was really more for me and the solvers :-) So criterion 1 has something to do with the presence (or lack?) of a certain word? words? found in a song title somewhere within the show? Is it a specific word? or a type (like 'a word having to do with time')? Is it found in any random song? or in a certain one (like the intro, showstopper, or finale)? Is it "I"? "love"? "am"? "the"? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

So criterion 1 has something to do with the presence This (or lack?) of a certain word? words? found in a song title somewhere within the show? Yes! The first criterion is that the musical must have a song title containing... Is it a specific word? or a type (like 'a word having to do with time')? This one, but not that example Is it found in any random song? This or in a certain one (like the intro, showstopper, or finale)? Is it "I"? "love"? "am"? "the"? No to all | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Word type: does it have to be a noun? adjective? adverb? verb? conjunction? preposition? article? number? a name (of one of the characters)? or could it be any of these things? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Word type: does it have to be a noun? adjective? adverb? verb? conjunction? preposition? article? number? a name (of one of the characters)? YES!!!!!!!! or could it be any of these things? **********SPOILER********** #1: There must be a song in the musical containing a character's name in the title. #2: The musical must include a solo song. #3: The musical must have been nominated for the Tony Award for Best Musical. Excellent work, all, especially Haenlomal and Kalira! You all may continue to post lyrics at your leisure; in fact, it is encouraged. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
