| Interesting. I've done the show twice - after you did - and there were no such moments in the score. And both times I had what I'm pretty sure were the original rental materials - the sloppy manuscript score, etc. I don't remember those lyrics being in the script either. Maybe they've been playing around with that section under our noses, lol? I understand the USE of the title song - just that I don't think it's a particularly well-written song, especially in the context of its use in the middle of "I Don't Need Anything" which IMO is a much better song. And of course there's that awkward "cheese" joke sung by Grace, which ultimately refers back to another song that was cut. (And yes, there's a reference to cheese in the dialogue too.) I do find it funny, though, that the published score (which doesn't have the "We Got Annie" sections either, unless it's been more recently reprinted with them included) gets a number of lyrics wrong - like "fudge brandies" instead of "Judge Brandeis." I tend to think someone was trying to read the sloppy penmanship from the manuscript score and couldn't figure out what the words were really supposed to be. (There's also one in NYC, where the lyric "their yen for NYC" is printed as "thank you for NYC.") |

| Two updates: I have now found a printed (not published) version of the score that changes the entire sequence of "I Don't Need Anything"/"Annie" as I knew it to be when I did the show (putting "Annie" as its own song first, instead of in the middle of "I Don't Need Anything" as it was in the version I did) - which includes the "We Got Annie" lyrics and gets rid of the silly "cheese / Camemberts and bries" stuff in favor of the "Goodman's a king" bridge, just as hear on the 2012 recording. But I have no idea when that score came into being, and if that was available when SRMHAYES did the show, I wonder why we didn't get that version either time I did it. Going back to look at that manuscript score, the melody of "We Got Annie" is in the orchestration as a countermelody, but not sung. But the arrangement is the one that matches the original published score, not the one I just mentioned above, which I had figured was done for the 2012 revival, but maybe not? Seems that there are a number of versions of this sequence, in any case. Strange. |
