      @@Pinskinator Oh I totally agree. I think they did a great job of developing Ricky's character. He has fantastic dialogue and the soundtrack really doesn't capture it. I'm just saying I find it funny (even if it makes sense) that he was so close to being self aware. I feel like "really close to being self aware" sums up Ricky pretty well. He's super introspective and intelligent, but he is still just so awkward.

    many have critiques about how Ricky’s disability is portrayed in the musical, and some are valid, but something I don’t think is appreciated is how open Ricky is with his sexuality. He isn’t infantilized nor is it treated as the butt of a joke, which is something I haven’t even seen before and I think is a great stride in representation.

      @@theimplications635 but she also yells at Constance for even suggesting it. Honestly I too would be surprised that Ricky knew what porn was. He’s severely disabled and has been for awhile. It’s unlikely that other then the choir he interacts a lot with non disabled peers, and most parents wouldn’t feel the need to have the porn conversation with a child that is unlikely to learn about it himself. He definitely would get sexual urges if that’s how he is but him knowing the concept of porn is surprising.

      There's a little theatre place by my home and they sometimes do lil musicals there. I think like last year we did this one, and despite the person who casted us being someone who usually type casts, casted me as Ricky, ,,, though I'm a Ukrainian male with s strong accent, who can sing, 🤨 but I loved singing SABM though

    This song shouldn’t deserve the right to be so good, but it does. The part where he goes “oh” right before the “meow-meow-meow-meow-meow” that comes before he says “it gets weird now. IT. FREAKING. IS. AMAZING. FOR. LITERALLY. NO REASON.

    Since no one else has done it yet, here's the lyrics!
    ---
    You might see before you
    An ordinary man
    Hah! An earthly illusion
    All a part of the cosmic plan
    Yes, long ago, they visited
    Those others from outer space
    Informed me I'm the chosen one
    To save the Zolarian race!
    (It's true. Listen…)
    Ricky, we are a distant galaxy
    A galaxy greatly in need
    Of your groove, your kink-o-matic powers
    Yes we need your freak-tastic seed
    They took me then to their daughter's realm
    The land of the kitty cat star
    I know you've heard the legends of
    The sexy cat women from Zolar!
    Meow
    Meow
    (Make love to me, Ricky!)
    (What?)
    Meow
    Meow
    (But there's one more small thing… Won't you please help save our galaxy… Ricky?)
    (…Sure.)
    What would you do in my place?
    A mere mortal man?
    With the fate of a galaxy before you,
    Millions of lives in your hand?
    The naughty daughters of the realm
    All hungry for my chi
    You'd never guess the role I played
    In Zolorian history!
    I'm just a swingin'!
    Space age!
    Bachelor Man!
    (Let's dance, kitties)
    [Instrumental and sexual ‘meows’]
    (It gets weird now.)
    Ricky, you've lain with our daughters
    You're our hero, our saving grace
    But now, there is a new challenge
    For Zoloria to face
    For they're at war with K-9
    Count Dog-U-Lous, that son of a bitch!
    (That son of a bitch!)
    The generals are all standing by
    “Tell us Ricky, should we pull the switch?”
    Meow
    Meow
    (Oh my goodness, what have I gotten myself into?)
    Meow
    Meow
    (Why are they asking me? I'm a lover, not a fighter! I thought I told them;)
    I'm just a swingin'!
    Space age!
    Bachelor man!
    (So I told them)
    I am just a man
    A space age man, that's all
    But I wanna hold your hands, all your hands
    As we make love tonight
    Oh, I have no desire to rule the galaxy
    Oh, to hold you close is enough for me
    Making love in zero gravity!
    Woah! Hey!
    Makin' love!
    Makin' love!
    Makin' love!
    On just love Zolar!
    (Zolar! Woo!)
    Makin' love!
    Makin' love!
    Makin' love!
    On just love Zolar!
    Uh, I've got to
    I've got to make
    You're my catnip
    You're the most
    You're such a pretty, gritty, kitty
    I wanna be your scratching post
    Let me be, let me be, let me be!
    Makin' love!
    Makin' love!
    Makin' love!
    On just love Zolar!
    (And they listened. And they heard my message, for I was singing notes that only cats or cat people could hear. A G# 5 octaves above middle C.)
    (Incredible. Peace was restored. I guess that's what happens…)
    When you're a swingin'!
    Space age!
    Bachelor man!
    So I came back to the earth
    To show you the way
    To lead your pretty people
    To a brighter day
    We can save the whole galaxy
    With love from the heart
    And sexy cat ladies, that, that, that's where we'll start
    Yes, I came back to this rock
    With my love and my seed
    Ladies, you got what I want
    And I know you've got what I need
    Cause I'm a swingin'!
    Space age!
    Bra-ba-ba-ba-bachelor man!
    (Meow!)
