Death is just around the Corner- Addams Family
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 10/20/10 at 5:22pmSorry to threadjack, but "Every Day A Little Death" isn't about death...

Posted: 10/20/10 at 5:26pmBut it has "death" in the title. It totes counts. And, yes, I said totes.

I don't think that having 'death' in the title makes a song ABOUT death.
The song has nothing to do with death whatsoever. Is there death? Yes, but death of the spirit, of the heart, of love.

Posted: 10/20/10 at 8:07pmPiggybacking on what BrodwayBound said, "My Death" by Jacques Brel (featured in Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris) is an amazing song, especially as sung by Natacia Diaz on the revival cast recording. David Bowie also did a cool cover of it.

Posted: 10/20/10 at 9:32pmThat was the point in including it, theatretrash. The OP never requested that they be about death in literal terms.

I thought "Everyday a Little Death" was about sex? Aren't they having it in the parlor and the curtains and the bread?

Posted: 10/21/10 at 11:30amHey Chewy, you should pick better friends first of all. I am very partial to How Glory Goes from Floyd Collins. I don't think it'll cheer anyone up but it's beautiful.
Hi there.
