Ever since I finished writing 'Cock-Eyed Optimist' yesterday, I've had the urge to listen to the 'South Pacific' soundtrack. Of course, the CD I used to listen to is in Utah with my mum since it is actually hers :) So, I thought, iTtunes! I did a search, and they don't have either the original movie soundtrack, or the Kiri Te Kanawa/Jose Carreras one. Mostly they have elevator music versions and one with Alec Baldwin?!?! Errr, okay. Oh well.

So I'm music searching, and I start thinking about a South Pacific/Highlander crossover. Yes, I have an illness [g] Though it wouldn't be a musical. The thought of Methos, Duncan, etc. bursting into song every ten minutes is a little freaky in my mind. [like crossing South Pacific and Highlander isn't freaky???] (hush!) So what other Rodgers & Hammerstein musical could be crossed with Highlander? There's 'Oklahoma!', of course. I can just see Duncan singing "I'm Just a Girl Boy That Can't Say No".

Oh forgot...

NO! You cannot write a South Pacific/Highlander story.

No!

I, the great Ninjababe, forbit it!

I think I'd rather see them in a Sondheim musical, maybe "Into the Woods."

But I do love the music of "South Pacific." When I was about six or seven and my father was still alive he took us to Louisville, KY to see it when the movie opened. It was a wonderful experience I'll never forget.

That's an illness all right. If you start hallucinating, you may want to have a doctor look you over.

The worst part is that I'd read it...

It's the first movie I remember watching with my mum, and she had the LP so I heard the music over and over again :)

I was in South Pacific in my community theater.

I played one of Nelly's friends.

I also occasionally use that song as an audition piece when I'm going for "perky ingenue".

Not loser! I think that's cool! I wish I could sing well enough to sing in public :)
