I have three posts in drafts but I really just wanted to take this video from YouTube and put it here instead of putting anything that I wrote myself.
Why? Because I'm bloody original, that's why. Oh, YEAH.
I first saw this movie in the fifth grade, and this is one of my favorite songs in West Side Story.
(Sorry, but the Jets win favorite song with this. I mean:
"Gee, Officer Krupke- krup you!"
and their rushing around and stupid voices are completely but appealingly insane.
"Hey, I got a social disease!"
Even a ten year old can appreciate that.)
I love it mostly because of Anita's singing. "You forget I'm in America!" and the way her voice deepens on "Everyone there will have moved here!"
Also, it is a fun song, but the material of it isn't entirely just fun.
Gods, I love old musicals. The acting is cheesy, but the music is usually better.
