Beautiful singing in Camelot.
Hated The Sound Of Music. “My Favorite Things” and that “do re mi” song. Just eeewww.
Unforgettable songs. My Favorite Things is a marvel of compositional craft.
One of my all time favorite movie musicals.
I actually like “Do Re Mi” because if you analyze the lyrics carefully, they describe a drug deal.
Do—a dear, a female dear
(a “female dear” is a gangster’s moll)
Re—a drop of golden sun
(”golden sunshine” is a street name for marijuana)
Mi—a name i call miself
(Why would you call yourself by a name other than your own unless you were doing something illegal)
Fa—a long, long way to run
(from the mountains of Laos to the streets of LA is a long, long way to run drugs)
Sol—a needle pulling thread
(a “thread,” or dose through a hypodermic needle)
La—a note that follows Sol
(an additional fix)
Ti—a drink with jam and bread
(”jam” is another street name for marijuana, this time mixed into a drink and paid for with cold cash—”bread”)
That will bring us back to Do
(the deal is complete)
” and that “do re mi” song
Do - the stuff that buys me beer
Re - the guy who sells me beer
Mi - the guy who drinks the beer
Fa - the distance to my beer
So - I think I’ll have a beer
La - La la la la la beer
Ti - No thanks I’m drinking beer
And that will bring us back to *sees empty glass* D’OH!

That makes two of us, MM.
Christopher Plummer called the movie “The Sound of Mucus”.
