[future-crab]

I can't believe I forgot that the lyrics to acclaimed 1979 Broadway musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street contains the phrase "popping pussies."

My playlist did an interesting coincidence, because I was just listening to Berry Pie by Dolly Parton, and it decided to go into Worst Pie in London from Sweeny Todd straight afterwards. Dunno what that implies about Dolly's pie, but it certainly ain't good.

Mrs. Lovett raps "The Worst Pies In London" instead of singing it. Complete with sunglasses, a backwards baseball cap, and gold chains.

thank you annaleigh ashford on the new sweeney todd cast recording for providing hope to all the sopranos out there who want to reject society (ingenue roles) and go apeshit (play mrs lovett). truly a great service to mankind

Theres something that feels so good when listening through the firsts songs in the sweeney todd album up to ”The Worst Pies in London”

Like, listening to those firsts dark songs that is then building up to that beat drop at ”Wait, whats you rush? What your hurry?” just SCRATCHES AN ITCH IN MY BRAIN

i can't recall exactly what grade i was in, but i was between the ages of seven and nine, when my elementary school music teacher showed my class Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett singing The Worst Pies In London*

i remember this very distinctly. we marched from our classroom to the music room, which had a green carpet, and Mrs. Schutt wheeled the CRT TV over in front of the blackboard and showed us this on VHS

and i vaguely remember how we talked about it afterward; about the music and what sort of impressions it gave/what it told us about the character and her circumstances and so on

and of course it wasn't until years later that i took in the musical in it's entirety (i can't even remember that, it must've been on tv or something?) but ever since that day in elementary school, Angela Lansbury's performance as Mrs. Lovett has been deeply embedded in my brain. make of that what you will

*-surely there is a short list of songs from this musical that a music teacher in the 90s would've been allowed to show a bunch of children

[theywontletmebeprincipal]

they deserve that best song emmy for the “worst brats”/“wurst bräts” pun alone
