Hi Sandra! I also like the song myself, except that instead of starting to sing, she should have let him kiss her more. Lol, whenever she starts singing I like to imagine him thinking something like "Fraulein, we have, QUITE LITERALLY, been dancing around each other for weeks, can you hold off on the singing just for a few minutes for once?!"

Seth MacFarlane is fabulous, a wonderful talent, and one of *us*. His intro for CP at the Oscars a few years ago was so fun. I had no idea he could sing like that. None. Wow.

Oh, absolutely!! Maria and Georg were the first to give me "the throbs" as I call it! I was 13 years old when I saw the film for the first time, and I think I destroyed my VHS tape going back and forth replaying the kiss scene! Those magical two minutes, slow-mo forward, slow-mo backward, over and over and over again... As I felt the butterflies taking off in my stomach and my belly, making me throb like mad... WOW, what a feeling! Yes, lady, sing, but let him kiss and worship the soul out of you first!! When the movie first came out on DVD, I DEVOURED the extras. I remember some of them were at least 10 different trailers, with very small differences between them, BUT the first almost killed me on the spot. A different take of Georg kissing Maria's forehead, then moving down her cheek and nuzzling the corner of her lip while brushing her neck with his fingertips... I swear I felt my insides combusting from the inside out! I was ON FIRE! It was SOOOOO unexpected to see that take! I would have happily murdered whoever plastered the bloody yellow words right in the middle of the screen, though!! What a CRIME! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H4TTjDMTvAHave you seen it?

I know! I don't know if anyone ever made GIFs out of these...but instead of writing for my damn thesis (I actually REALLY need to write for my thesis) I made these GIFs. I cut these bits out, without the annoying yellow words and slowed them a bit down. I wanted to make them brighter as well, but didn't know how to do that quickly and as I mentioned before I REALLY need to write for my thesis. LOL Enjoy!

Heh,heh - even more delicious if you subscribe to the theory that they are so good because they are for REAL!

augiesannie I'd rather be writing my thesis on these two than on metal accumulation in freshwater mussels for sure. LOL I could easily fill 50 pages describing M&G. BONUS: no calculations in Excel or statistical analyses are necessary, which sounds like a dream right now as I'm drowning myself in calculations trying to find a correlation between accumulated trace metals and the mussels' physiological condition.

Oops! I had assumed your thesis was an analysis of nocturnal kissing techniques displayed by newly-acquainted caucasian couples....no?

Oh yes, I'm studying 2 newly discovered, very rare species (Marium alpinum and Georgis vontrappis) who only come out at night and only can be found in gazebos near a lake.

Yes, I'm told their crepuscular couplings are a notable sighting.

An interesting variant is seen with Lieslus Prettii and Rolfus Toolicum, only these are without the flair and intensity of the original species studied...

I like Something Good over An Ordinary Couple...maybe it's the melody that gets to me? On another note, I just downloaded one of Seth MacFarlane's (yes, the voice of Peter, Stewie, and Brian from Family Guy) albums. One of his songs is Something Good, which I initially thought was a different song that was not related to TSOM. But when I played it, oh wow! Although he did his own take of it, he did an impressive version while maintaining respect for the song and R&H. I swear, he can melt butter with that voice You and me, both, sister. I have the entire album and highly recommend it to anyone. My co-worker/supervisor from my days of drudgery in government came to me in my office one day with a USB stick that had Something Good on it and he handed it to me and said, "You need to listen to this." I did, and then I went home and bought the entire thing immediately. I currently have an outline for a slightly crackfic scenario sitting next to me as I type that's inspired by his version of "You're the Cream in My Coffee" (and a brand new one on the other side scratched up last night, but that's another story for another facet of my insanity...) and he's really something else. I love how he loves the things I love in a very similar way. If you get a chance, read the info booklet that comes with it where he explains his artistic process. It's breathtaking. As for the song discussion going on here, I haven't actually listened to An Ordinary Couple in years, and to be honest I'm not all that interested in it because even though I think Something Good is the weakest of the TSOM score in terms of lyrical content, as someone else said, its value is in showing us a deeper, sadder element of Maria's nature as a person. If it weren't for SG, it would be way too easy to get away with believing that she's truly happy-go-lucky all the time. One could argue that her anguish when speaking with the Rev. Mother accomplishes the same (actually, anything she says while speaking with the Rev. Mother), but it's really hard to get away from the element of faith, there, and for good reason, as it's equally important. In SG, she goes beyond that and actually lets you in a bit beyond that wall. In a very vulnerable moment, she gets completely honest (though clearly not transparent, or we all wouldn't still be writing stories meant to decipher the song!) with the one who she sees as meant to guard her secrets. She takes a chance, and that's worth more than any words of visions for the future in that moment. Welcome, sandra ! Glad you're here! Oops! I don't know how I missed this post. I've gotten into a deep obsession with Seth MacFarlane when I got his album. Unfortunately, since I downloaded the album off iTunes, there was no booklet that came with it :/ I'm itching to get his newest album, "No One Ever Tells You" but I don't have much balance left on my iTunes account (I use a gift card b/c I avoid using my credit card online). Also, I play his performances from BBC Proms on repeat on YouTube because I just can't get enough of him and that voice of his! Can we take a moment to worship appreciate this multi-talented man? Oh my...he has the cutest teddy bear cheeks I just wanna squeeze 'em! And he is one of us as utility_singer mentioned before. I didn't know what she meant initially until I watched this video: youtu.be/-QmOPsHZ0dE?t=25sGoing back to your discussion on SG, it's true what you said about the song revealing the dark side of Maria and the painful past that she's burdening. As a kid, those lyrics always struck me. Hearing her sing "Perhaps I had a wicked childhood, perhaps I had a miserable youth" actually broke my heart because we learned that Maria went through a lot of suffering and that her life was not all flowers and rainbows (like what we saw earlier in the movie with My Favorite Things and Do Re Mi).

He definitely seems to enjoy and respect the theatre. Stewie (from Family Guy) is based on Rex Harrison. Well, the voice anyway

Ok, so I came upon this thread today looking for a discussion on the differences between the stage production and the movie. While, this thread did not provide me with that discussion (it is just about the 2 songs in the title), it did provide me with the 2 gifs above. THERE ARE DIFFERENT GAZEBO KISSES THAN WHAT WE SEE IN THE MOVIE!!! OMG!!! I can't believe this exists! I felt that this thread needed a bump for the good of everyone. If you have seen this, it is time to view again. If you have not, take a look. *swoon*
