Which Broadway Musical had a song with a Waltz in it. The Song was round format.. One of the rounds sung over the main melody had the lyrics.. "Knit One, Pearl Two, Drop a Stitch follow thru etc... (or was it than you're thru) Three Penny Opera Man of LaMancha Mary Poppins The Music Man Grrrr... I forgot.. (My Mom swears it's not Sound of Music but I'm not sure) I'm thinking it's the same show that has that Barbershop song "Lida Rose" and that's overlapped with the woman singing in round format over the barbershop melody "Dream of Me, Dream of Me" |

I know "Lida Rose" was in "The Music Man", but I'm not sure what your looking for was in that movie. I'll have to see if I have it. |

Nah, Don't think it was.. Might've been Mary Poppins. |

By the way, I read through all the lyrics from the tunes from Mary Poppins and didn't see it, then again I might have missed it. It sure was enlightening though . I wonder if it's legal to use "from" twice in a sentence. Hex I used "it" three times, I must be a writer for Monty Python.

I can definitely say it is NOT Mary Poppins, La Mancha, or Music Man...not as familiar with Three Penny, but it doesn't sound like a lyric Weill would come up with....hmmm...have to do some research... Edit: Ok...this definitely isn't it...but...so far, the only thing I can find with a lyric like that comes from Fraggle Rock...  I'll keep looking...

It's not a primary lyric line though. It's a harmony round format, I think there are at least two or three rounds that come in harmoniously that layer this song for a full choir type song... There's the standard melody line... Then a bass waltz line comes in with something like more of a percussive type line.. Then things get busy in term of round layers.. and the top harmony comes on for only a few lines.. For some reason I seem to recall something like the bassline having oom-papa oom-papa in it.. I need to do some more research, I realized a problem I was having with search engine is it purl two, not pearl in sewing.. Figure a song along the lines of Blue Danube, or Skaters Waltz layered with different registers singing rounds over it... |

Don't you just hate it when this happens, you know it really isn't important, but it's going to bug you until you figure it out. I do things like that all the time.....and just what is that line in "Blinded by the light" is it really "revved up like a duece another runner in the night" LOL

I'm thinking this might be the Trapp family singers in a rendition of Sound of music.. |

I was able to narrow it down, and it's "The Emporers New Clothes" The best song in the show is performed by Alan Kass and Don Potter as two swindlers who decide they'll go into business as tailors, under the aliases Stitch and Sew. ('We're Stitch and Sew, Sew and Stitch: who is who, and which is which?') This bouncy waltz-time duet becomes a counterpoint song as Stitch reprises the lyric while Sew simultaneously sings a completely new melody. ('Knit one, purl two; drop a stitch, then you're through. Knit two, purl one; drop a stitch, then you're done.') Elsewhere, there's a catchy chorus number: 'Hear ye, hear ye! A royal proclamation: The emperor needs new clothes! The emperor needs new clothes!' Eiler's score for this musical is well up to Broadway standards. |

"The Emporers New Clothes" It just shows that perseverance will prevail, where did you find the information? I am glad your agony has been ended, and what obscure bit of trivia shall your next quest be? |
