| Vanity Fair has published its own guide to all the musical references in ''Schmigadoon!,'' but it's got some glaring typos. Starting with the first paragraph, Chris Murphy's story calls the show ''Schimgadoon!,'' which it repeats a couple more times later (once in a subhead). Meredith Willson's last name is misspelled as Wilson. Lerner and Loewe are identified as ''Lerner and Lowe'' and credited with writing the score to ''Finian's Rainbow'' (nope, that was Burton Lane and E.Y. Harburg). And ''The Pajama Game'' debuted on Broadway in 1954, not 1953. |

| How on earth do they think “You Can’t Tame Mel was inspired by “Never Will I Marry”? It’s clearly “I’m a Bad, Bad Man.” Laura |

| I agree. ''You Can't Tame Me'' is about a guy singing about the women in his romantic past (''A cowgirl on the range in El Paso, smiled at me and got out her lasso''). That echoes ''I'm a Bad, Bad Man'' from ''Annie Get Your Gun'': ''There's a girl in Tennessee who's sorry she met up with me ...'' ''You Can't Tame Me'' also taps into Hammerstein's fondness for nature imagery. The verse starts: ''When a squirrel wants another squirrel ...'' Since that scene is inspired by ''Carousel,'' the spoof even quotes the lyric ''Somehow I can see ... exactly how [it'd] be'' from ''If I Loved You.'' |
