I have this on my TiVO, one of my all-time fave Broadway musical ditties....too bad the rest of the musical loses steam though. Oh well, just as the Flintstones, which was done about the same time, is the Honeymooners gone prehistoric, this is almost like the Flintstones gone ancient Rome LOL......oh wait, my bad LOL that wasn't done until 1972 when Hanna-Barbera tried to make another splash into prime-time TV with "The Roman Holidays" which had Barry Livingston (middle son Chip on My Three Sons) and Pam Ferdin (voice of Fern on H-B's Charlotte's Web).
By any chance would you have the 1962 original broadway version of this song? The words are almost the same as here but the song is sung all the way through with no narration breaks and I like the lyrics better.
Saw this in 1980, at Drury Lane North outside Chicago, with Avery Schreiber in the lead. Good show and he did a good job. Thanks for posting this clip.
My apologies. I did not intend to insult you or your teacher. While I may disagree with your Latin teacher, I did indeed read your comment incorrectly it seems.
This song was on a broadway cd that my mom bought when I was in kindergarten. I distinctly remember singing along to this song in the car, not understanding what I was singing, but still yelling "Comedy tonight!"
Saw it last night in Washington DC. Wasn't as fortunate as my parents to see Zero Mostel play the part of Pseudolus, but a good production all the same. Who the hell are the 8 people who gave this the thumbs down?!?!!?!!
RIP music composer Ken Thorne. His approach to scoring this film was ideal.

Such good music.
BalasHapusLadies and gentleman, for Americans, the late Zero Mostel gives us a preview of next week's Republican debate. ;-)

BalasHapusLOL! Very tongue-in-cheek, that. ;-) If one is looking for "accurate depiction" -- look to HBO series "Rome". This, this is FUN!
BalasHapusNot tongue-in-cheek at all. The little things are very accurate. Not just fun, but educational!
