Subversive Side of Musicals --
1). "Too Darn Hot" from Kiss Me Kate (1953)
2). "Bang Bang" from Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964)
3). "White Boys/Black Boys" from Hair (1979)
4). scene from Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) -- I didn't see a you tube link for this one. Sorry.
Phases of the Musical:
1. Prototype
A Roy Rogers clip and then Hallelujah I'm a Bum (1933)
2. Classical
"The Deadwood Stage" from Calamity Jane (1953)
"The Barn Dance Number" from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
3. Refinement
"A Dime and a Dollar" from Red Garters (1954)
"Best Things in Life Are Dirty" from Paint Your Wagon (1969) -- Apparently too embarrassing to put on You Tube.
4. Self-Reflexive
"Air-otica" from All That Jazz (1979)
The two missing clips from the self-reflexive section were:
1. "The Trapper Song" from Canibal! The Musical (1993)
