***We are talking about a guy who heard that lyric when he was 15 and still couldn't comprehend that he was listening to a song called "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" rather than "Julie's Bustin' Out All Over".... maybe he just has a terrible ear?****
Of course, you're joking, but I don't think Sondheim has a terrible ear. I think he realized immediately that the title was "June is Bustin' Out All Over," but maybe once or twice, when the opera singer playing Nettie Fowler sang the line, her pronunciation was such that it struck him that it sounded a little like "Julie's bustin' out all over," so he modified the story of what he heard to make for a funny anecdote. |
