I just want to sing, sing, SING!
Feb. 13th, 2012 02:15 pmAargh, my security settings ate my entry.
A. and I have muttered occasionally about having a Musical Episodes evening, and yesterday this came up again because I played him "Land of the Luvvies" {*}. Anyway, I said, "TV tropes must have an entry for this", I said, and so it does (Warning! TV Tropes link!). It doesn't yet have "Land of the Luvvies" listed, or "Can We Sing For a Whole Episode?" from Little Howard's Big Question, but it does have our other usual thoughts, "When Janet Met Jonny" from Two Pints of Lager, the Scrubs episode, and "Once More With Feeling", of course.
Red Dwarf's "Blue" would probably be out, because although the Arnold Rimmer song is amazing, it is actually just the one song in the episode. Whereas Flight of the Conchords, say, would be out because the whole thing is musical, so a Musical Episode isn't a departure from the norm. I'm dithering about the Mighty Boosh episodes with bands in- if they usually have a song or two, and then there's an ep with half a dozen, is that a musical ep? Let's say yes. (On that note, are there any Monty Python series episodes with more than one song in them?)
I reckon it might be slightly cheating to specially look up episodes of shows you've never watched, so that means the Star Trek, Xena, Simpsons, Futurama and South Park episodes listed on the page would be ok (I haven't watched the whole run of any of those, and I don't happen to have caught the musical episodes, but I could have done)- except it would be difficult to track them down without knowing episode names.
Anyway. There's plenty of musical episodes available for a marathon. Now, what order to show them in...?
