I'm not so interested in who sings these, but the name of the song, the composer and the musical whence it comes, please.

Usual sort of limit, I guess.. say three.

...and the deliberate mistake was found in clue #13

Hmm... the ones left are by only three different composers - two of whom worked together.  Maybe I should point this out to Rick D to spot, I think he'll know 'em..

1. From your first cigarette
   The Jet Song/West Side Story catwomanofV
2. Antici.....
   Sweet Transvestite/RHPS MadDog
3. Right up the Coriolanus
   Brush up yer Shakespeare/Kiss Me Kate IndyGent
4. It really doesn't matter matter matter matter matter Hint: Possibly the ultimate in words and music and signifying nothing... to quote Tom Lehrer

5. The finger she would wag at me
   Reviewing the Situation/Oliver CatwomanofV
6. Frenzy and frolic
   Comedy Tonight/Something funny happened to me on the way to the Forum IndyGent
7. Educated fleas
   Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)/?? Jaytee
8. And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist Hint: another operattatic entry.. this one could be about a boat that's heeling just a bit...
   I've Got a Little List/The Mikado Rick D
9. It takes a man who knows no fear to wrestle with a goat Hint: false description of the demise of the eponymous hero
   One more angel in Heaven/Joseph and his ATDC Travolta
10.Drinkers of brandies
   Sixteen going on Seventeen/Sound of Music mandamoo
11.Where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quills
   The Deadwood Stage/Calamity Jane Paul
12.Who wants uranium to spare?
   Who Wants To Be A Millionaire/High Society Jaytee
13.Brown paper package's
   A few of my favourite things/Sound of Music MadDog
14.Crossing Salisbury Plain on a bicycle Hint: Rick would definitely get this one, as he's the only person I know who's written a parody to it
   When you're lying awake (the Nightmare Song)/Iolanthe Rick D
15.My sister wears a mustache
   Officer Krupke/West Side Story catwomanofV

Hiya philbo - great quiz!

#13 My Favourite Things - from The Sound Of Music - Rogers & Hammerstein
(I know an unrepeatable rugby club version of this song!)

#20 Sweet Transvestite - from The Rocky Horror Show - Richard O'Brien

...oh, and the deliberate mistake appears to be that #2 and #20 are the same answer?

Hiya philbo - great quiz!

:-)

Thank you

Well, you got the one containing the deliberate mistake, but the anticip....





..pation gag wasn't it.

Phil
PS Correct on all three counts.

Hi Philbo

#7  Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)  - Cole Porter  (Don't know where from)
#12  Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Cole Porter (High Society)

#18 is going to drive me nuts -  ???


Good quiz.

#7   Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)  - Cole Porter  (Don't know where from)
#12  Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Cole Porter (High Society)
#18 is going to drive me nuts -  ???


A bit of a Cole Porter fan?  Correct (i.e. 7&12 are correct, and 18 is going to drive you nuts ;))

3. Brush Up Your Shakespeare-Cole Porter-Kiss Me Kate

Yep.

I Love musicals.


#1 and #15 are both from West Side Story by Leonard Berstein (lyrics by Stephen Sonhiem) #1 The Jet Song #15 Officer Krumpkie


#5 is from Oliver "I Think I Better Think it out Again" by Lional Burt



Cat

Yes, Cat - though I believe the title of #5 is "Reviewing the Situation", as sung by Fagin.

Hi Phil...I'll try three...

#11. 'The Deadwood Stage' from 'Calamity Jane' by Sammy Fain & Paul Francis Webster

#18. 'If I Were A Rich Man' from 'Fiddler On The Roof' by Bock & Harnick (not sure about their first names - had to go and look at the credits on the CD and that's all there was!)

#19. 'Edelweiss' (I think!) from 'The Sound Of Music' by Rodgers & Hammerstein

Hi philbo !

#10  Sixteen Going On Seventeeen (Sound Of Music)

Ooops......Rodgers and Hammerstein  :)

Yes, Cat - though I believe the title of #5 is "Reviewing the Situation", as sung by Fagin.




That's right.  :-[  Well, at least I knew the song even though I messed up on the title. Sorry.



Cat

#7   Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)  - Cole Porter  (Don't know where from)
#12  Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Cole Porter (High Society)
#18 is going to drive me nuts -  ???


A bit of a Cole Porter fan?  Correct (i.e. 7&12 are correct, and 18 is going to drive you nuts ;))


Yes, I'm a huge fan of Cole.  Ahh, Paul got #18 - I should have known that one  :(

Forgot to hit "post" on my reply to mandamoo and paul... yes, all correct (as you'd probably spotted from the modified first post)

Some clues added.

6. Comedy Tonight from "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" (Zero Mostel?)

Yes, Indy.. I'm not sure if it's Zero Mostel who sings it: Sondheim wrote it.

Hi phil

I don't know any of the remaining lyrics, even with the clues, but I suspect that the deliberate mistake on #13 is a grammatical one, viz. no apostrophe is required in the word "package's" in this song because it's plural, not possessive.

...correct - and the reason I put it there will become obvious if you've not seen this one already... a parody to the solution for #13


...I guess that means more clues are in order...

That's a great parody.  I was going to give the answer, but someone beat me to it. 

Please give more clues.  This is a great quiz, btw.

Hiya Philbo :D

#17  Pharaoh's Dream Explained from Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Andrew Lloyd-Webber/Tim Rice

In Year 12 (1976) we performed "Joseph"  -  we had a fantastic time doing it  ;D

#8 is "I've Got a Little List" from the Mikado, #4 is a patter song from "The Gondoliers?" (don't remember the title) but I remember it from the movie of "Pirates of Penzance" where they transplanted it. #16 and 17 are both from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" (A.L. Webber) I'll think about the rest later.

Oh, and #14 is of course, "When You're Lying Awake" from Iolanthe. Fun to parody that one.

Hiya Philbo :D

#17  Pharaoh's Dream Explained from Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Andrew Lloyd-Webber/Tim Rice

Hiya jaytee... correct.  It is a rather fun one, isn't it?

(don't remember the title) but I remember it from the movie of "Pirates of Penzance" where they transplanted it. #16 and 17 are both from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" (A.L. Webber) I'll think about the rest later.

Hi, Rick.. I thought you'd pick up the G&S ones...

#8 is correct
#4 isn't from The Gondoliers, though.  I didn't realize it had made it across to the Pirates film, but a quick google tells me you're right about that, so it'll do... it's Ruddigore originally.

#14...of course you're right :)

#17 Jaytee pipped you to it; yes, #16 is also from Joseph.

Just leaves #8 - come on, you two: you should have got that one while you were at it ;)

I was at work Phil. I gave you the first answers that came to mind without research. First time I've visited the quizzes.

9. It takes a man who knows no fear to wrestle with a goat Hint: false description of the demise of the eponymous hero
   
Webber---Tim Rice--Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat -- One More Angel in Heaven

Correct, Travolta - it's one of my favourite lines from Joseph :)

Rick  - the idea's not to be doing too much research (most lyrics quizzes would be really easy using google), but to test your knowledge.  I find most of them to be full of music I've never even heard of ;), but that makes it all the more fulfilling when you do spot an answer
