Craig Can’t Even

So I’ve spent most of my life in NH, MA, and VT, and I’m not fully up on ME culture. But! But pronouncing “aunt” as “ant” is very uncommon around here. Someone missed that on their research.

Don’t get me started on President Bartlet mispronouncing his own hometown (Concord, NH) in The West Wing!

Claude Rains is irresistible in Casablanca. And many other films. #TCMParty

Sorry Melissa Manchester et al. but “Don’t Cry Out Loud” is now Jenna Maroney’s song.

So we’re at the climbing onto the roof and shouting phase of crazy I see

a woman with a crown on her chest is smiling and saying yas king Alt: Ilana Glazer says “Yas King” in an episode of Broad City

Me pretending to understand any of George Russell’s business ventures.

YouTube video by Andrew Lloyd Webber - Topic John Nineteen Forty-One (Remastered 2021)

Similarly, some regions had this unique version of “John Nineteen Forty-One” as a B-side to Murray Head’s “Superstar.” The upbeat piano coda is… unexpected to say the least!

Both of these tracks were included as bonuses on the 50th anniversary remastering of the original album.

YouTube video by Murray Head - Topic [Too Much] Heaven On Their Minds (German Single)

Such an odd and wonderful artifact of the original studio cast recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. This single edit of “Heaven on Their Minds” reworks some of the lyrics and adds background singers to make it more “radio friendly.” Murray Head is once again superbly dramatic.

Dare I believe mine eyes? Is Kathy Hochul… cookin?

John Astin is so swoonworthy

I was bracing myself for her rousing rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream!”

Admittedly the 7” mix is the ideal, but Atomic is one of my all-time favorite new wave tracks.

Haha yes, but 1959 stereo could be hit or miss.

Alas, I’m one of *those* people who will never choose the OLCR over the OBCR. I find it to be a fascinating artifact, but sounds too much like a cast who has performed the show for 3 years.

My Fair Lady (1956 Original Broadway Cast Recording)

Camelot (1960 Original Broadway Cast Recording)

Mary Poppins (1965 Original Soundtrack - Legacy Edition)

The Boy Friend (1954 Original Broadway Cast Recording)

Which Julie do I turn to next?

Omg 🤣🤣

Watch out! AI might start getting ideas for its inevitable debut at Sphere

I truly believe Robert Wise’s experience as an editor is a big reason he made two of the greatest movie musicals of all time. #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Y’all I needed this. In a world of such ugliness, thanks for reminding me there is beauty in the world. I look forward to watching this with our girls over the years whenever we need a reminder. Thank you TCM for your tenacity in pursuing the rights to show this! #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

“They’re going to Vermont!” - Me and my very New England siblings every time we saw the closing shot. #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Sisters Berthe and Margaretta as portrayed by Portia Nelson and Anna Lee from The Sound of Music (1965)

Sisters Margaretta and Sister Berthe holding up car parts in The Sound of Music. Sorry I’m gay and cannot be sure what the car parts are.

That we’ve never gotten an origin story for these two seems like a missed opportunity. #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

The “who is also gay” part seems a bit redundant considering the rest of the sentence lol. In all seriousness though, this is cute as hell.

The terror of the chase scene hits really hard as both a kid and a parent. And as a parent, there’s the added terror of the idea of your fate hinging on a child’s ability to remain quiet. #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Also, who was originally going to sing his part? Hmm.

Okay, they had some immense trust in their dad’s singing ability to jump into that arrangement of Do-Re-Mi cold! #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

I think my husband and I would have set the movement back decades had we tried lol

Me: Imagine! The captain with a mustache?!

Also me: Imagining the captain with a mustache

It’s amazing how much younger Liesl seems next to Maria now that Maria is her stepmother. #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Sighhh. Too many Rolfs around these days. #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Richard Haydn and Ben Wright - two voice acting legends sharing dialogue. #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty

Has SNL ever done a Say Yes to the Dress spoof with Maria and the nuns? I’d watch that. #TheSoundOfMusic #TCMParty
