I wonder why this isn't on streaming.

I saw this July 6, 1996. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen, ranks with Mel Brooks' The Producers

LYRICS: Something familiar, Something peculiar, Something for everyone: A comedy tonight! Something appealing, Something appalling, Something for everyone: A comedy tonight! Nothing with kings, nothing with crowns; Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns! Old situations, New complications, Nothing portentous or polite; Tragedy tomorrow, Comedy tonight! Something convulsive, Something repulsive, Something for everyone: A comedy tonight! Something aesthetic, Something frenetic, Something for everyone: A comedy tonight! Nothing with gods, nothing with fate; Weighty affairs will just have to wait! Nothing that's formal, Nothing that's normal, No recitations to recite; Open up the curtain: Comedy Tonight! Something erratic, Something dramatic, Something for everyone: A comedy tonight! Frenzy and frolic, Strictly symbolic, Something for everyone: A comedy tonight! Something familiar, Something peculiar, Something for everybody: Comedy tonight! Something that's gaudy, Something that's bawdy-- Something for everybawdy! Comedy tonight! Nothing that's grim. Nothing that's Greek. She plays Medea later this week. Stunning surprises! Cunning disguises! Hundreds of actors out of sight! Pantaloons and tunics! Courtesans and eunuchs! Funerals and chases! Baritones and basses! Panderers! Philanderers! Cupidity! Timidity! Mistakes! Fakes! Rhymes! Crimes! Tumblers! Grumblers! Bumblers! Fumblers!

One of the best opening numbers of any show.

3:20 *Pumbaa: Or consider the Gemini a matched pair either one that divinely assembled woman together an infinite number of mathematical possibilities🩵❤️*

2:16 *Pumbaa: Next may I present Panecia!! To make revail to you the king of Nubia!! Panecia with a face that holds a thousand promises and a body that stands behind each promise🩵❤️*

I wanna see Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe singing this!

Sensational!!!!!

Tremendous rendition of this incredible song! A great tribute to the late great Zero Mostel!!!!!

5:15 Pumbaa: *And now prepare yourself for Vorbrata!!* *VORBRATA!!* *Exotic as a desert bloom, wondrous as a flamingo* *Life as a tigress!! For who’s any man’s interest is*WILDLIFE😆❤️!!*

0:20 Timon: *Show me😊* Pumbaa: *UNIQX!! ILL BUY HER!!!❤*

6:39 Timon: *Comedy😃!!🩵* Pumbaa: *Comedy!!😄♥️*

I love this version of the song, just as much as the quicker version in the overture and Nathan Lane completes it for me

I dedicate this song from south park the no no no no song with a funny thing happened on the way to the forum parody with no no no no song based on the song comedy tonight.😂🥸

Once I realized that Lycus is played by Ernie Sabella, who voice Pumbaa in the Lion King, all I can hear is Timon trying to buy women from Pumbaa and I hate that realization 😭😂

Such a great album. Sadly, when I would see them in the late 80's and early 90's, they rarely played any of these songs.

I am so glad and blown away by these guys....I had the HONOR AND PRIVILEGE of actually meeting and spending a lot of time with these guys so many years ago.....I am so happy to hear them again.....I have such a huge smile on my face.... lol

Can you PLEASE post "Rise up in the night" and "Lone Survivor"? I have this on vinyl and loved those two tracks. Saw them in Atlanta, December 1981.

I have this album on vinyl. I was playing it the other day. Still love it. Got the album when I was living in Norfolk, VA in the late 70s/early 80s.

I'll get on it :)

thanks so much for finding this great song from a great album. 1980 i think. got any more cuts from this? please.
