I’ve long been keeping a horrible secret that I have to reveal now for this post: I like the musical Wicked. I’ve never seen it live cuz when it was playing in LA in 2007 I didn’t dare reveal to anyone that I wanted to see it so I never did, but I did find a pirated home video of the full play on Google Video (it’s been removed but there’s one here too if you’re interested) – anyway – the point is that I know of the song Defying Gravity and recognized the parody when I heard this track from The Book of Mormon that satirizes the silliness of the “we’re a team! but I’m the star…” premise. Listen for yourself:
Defying Gravity – Wicked
You and Me (But Mostly Me) – The Book of Mormon
