BANDSTAND
I could go on and on with these answers, so I just went with the first ones that I thought of.
Funniest lyrics:
“it’s a good thing you’re one of the best because putting up with you is an endurance test”
“this hotel’s got the biggest bed’s i’ve ever seen in my life”
& not sung lines, but spoken lines
“what day is sunday?”
“you see giraffes are really tall....”
“my jeep flipped 3 times, 3 times i tell ya”
“al, it’s jo, now don’t give me any of your crap you’re gonna help me out with the donny nova band
Most relatable lyrics:
“i’d like a good night’s sleep, is that too much to ask?”
Most profound lyrics:
“and i stand here helpless, my arms extended, knowing full well darling your war’s not ended”
“and during those few short hours a day, the noise in my head goes away”
“we fight for ourselves now, and all of the wrongs will be made right this way” (wow i teared up just thinking about these lyrics)
“and i’m told to be proud, all the newsreels and magazines practically shout it but i’m never allowed to admit there is nothing remotely heroic about it”
Prettiest lyrics:
“if this were a ballet then i might sweep you off your feet without warning”
“once upon a time i would wake beside a man, who would make me feel like nothing could take him from me”
“now our wait has ended, our years of yearning and i’m at my doorway, my love returning”
“take reasurance i know how to guide you through the worst steps, first steps first”
Most uplifting lyrics:
“you know who tells me you don’t have what it takes and you will never reach the top? you know who tells me stop? nobody”
“we are not finished yet”
“you’ve arrived at last my friend, you’ve been fighting for far too long”
Most depressing lyrics:
“there are days when i just want to be momentarily free and happily who i was”
“after bunks on cargo ships, after trenches in the rain, after running for cover and dodging the flack for 3 years and 8 months to fight my way back”
“johnny made it home, most of him at least”
“nick learned to survive means you never trust, once you’ve seen the worst in men than how do you adjust?”
“davy cracks a joke, claims to be alright, drinks a fifth of vodka in his kitchen every night”
“he could never get back the life he had, faced with raising kids who did not recognize their dad” (shout out to geoff’s face for breaking my heart even more during this)
“keeps his guard up now a lot goes undiscussed”
“donny does his best trying to pretend, what he doesn’t talk about won’t matter in the end.”
“donny doesn’t sleep because the nightmares come, donny wants an answer, donny looks for absolution, and i’d give up anything if i could give him some”
really all of welcome home (finale) but those specific lyrics get me every single time
Character with the best lines:
if we’re talking funny, either johnny, davy or june. if we’re going with deep and profound, donny
