A few weeks ago, my very awesome boyfriend Andrew hosted an evening of his songs at a very awesome Off Broadway theater called The Zipper Factory.
Some of the songs were completely original–with Andrew providing both music and lyrics–and some of them were parodies of pop and Broadway hits. On several of those parodies, Andrew and I wrote the lyrics together.
The popular political website Americablog has already written about Andrew’s Sarah Palin musical, in which Palin actually becomes president. Among other things, that piece turns “What Would Brian Boitano Do” (from the South Park movie) into President Palin’s state of the union address. (The singer is my fabulous and talented friend Lisa Rothauser.)
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Here are a few of the songs that Andrew and I wrote together:
(1) First, with Lisa, we turned “Save The Best for Last” into a song about… um… a special kind of virginity. (NSFW!! And also… I’m convinced Vanessa Williams would think this is funny):
(2) Then, the three of us used Gilbert and Sullivan to deliver an ode to that”Extra Special Lady Part” (NSFW!):
(3) Then, Andrew and I turned Brokeback Mountain into a musical (to the tune of “Defying Gravity” from Wicked):
Here’s to dirty, dirty songs!!
Note: The male performers in these videos are Ryan Murray and Chuck Ragsdale

Okay, that just totally destroyed my productivity this morning. And I thank you for it. Hilarious!
I honestly didn’t think you could make “Brokeback Mountain” any gayer, but I’m happy to be proved wrong.
I also kinda want to send this clip to Aaron Sorkin to show him what a funny Gilbert & Sullivan parody looks like.
