Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from May 5, 2023 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

Avatar 🎭 ♥ 7:29pm
Listener Gregory:

Early SNL had a number of acts that were indeterminate between sincere acts and some kind of put-on, like Redbone, Andy Kaufman, and the Blues Brothers. That created a stimulating ambiguity that you would think about for some time afterwards.

Guessing that "zee" = sea (well, I actually know that... see Tappan Zee), and "honden" means dogs. Let's see what Gurgle Translate tells us. Seal babies!!! So, sea + dog = seal, I guess.
