Oh god, it's everywhere!

Aimee · Oh god, it's everywhere!

My fiance just cut his finger and didn't realise and he dropped blood all over the kitchen on door hadnles, utensils etc. I couldn't stop myself exclaiming 'Oh god, its everywhere!' then couldn't stop myself singing a little fall of rain.

Anything like that happened to you?

Wow...that's an interesting story. One time I got a detention slip in the mail, but I knew they sent it by mistake and I refused to serve it. It was also yellow. So I tore it into pieces and sang 'Jean Valjean is nothing now, another story must begin!"

Sorry I don't know if that really answered your question. Were you asking if we've ever had a moment when we started singing Les Mis, or a time when we cut our finger and didn't realize it?

Well yes, I have had multiple cuts on my fingers. My left hand falls victim to paper cuts a lot. Poor hand. Strange how one little swipe of the edge of a piece of paper on one's skin can hurt so much.

Kidding.

I have broken out into Les Miserables songs on occasion, especially when I'm deeply bored (Look Down) or having mass (Bring Him Home). The latter is a more frequent occurrence...

I guess you're asking if we bust into song after unintentionally quoting a line in the libretto? Yup! I've done that a lot of times, and it always gets me furrowed eyebrows in return.

I don't have a specific example, but I remember somebody going "No, not at all" and then I followed with Bamatabois' "You've got some nerve/you little whore/You've got some gall!" from Fantine's Arrest. I had to explain myself afterwards and then I had the song stuck in my head for the rest of the day, too. Or there'd be times I'd go "[You] see, I told you so" to my friend it'd remind me of Eponine's Errand: "There's lot's of things I know/'Ponine...she knows her way around." It's all inadvertent- heh!

Well, you must understand..I am ridiculously obsessed with this show. Wink

No kidding - any mention of ANY string of words found in the show's lyrics, reminds me of it.

Les Mis is on my mind 24/7.

^Quique, have you seen Dreamgirls yet? Curtis has this one line where he is talking about black musicians and he goes like: "The time is now." I practically screamed "The day is here!" If it wasn't a musical, someone probably would have thrown popcorn at me.

LOL yes I was meaning have you ever quoted Les Mis in different situation and, like you, I often think of the lyrics.

I was especially amused this time as it was actually blood that was 'Oh god, it's everywhere!' so I thought I'd tell my Mizzie mates about it.

Hi Mizzie mates!

My friend today: I'm here. (maybe it was "you're here")
Me: That's all I need to know.

We recently did a production of Hired Man and in one rehearsal during the scene surroudning "Get up and Go Lad" the lead has a section of Lib which ends with "One More Day..." and i always sang back at him "One DAY MORE!" Luckily Tash managed to stop me during the shows...

I completely understand. I can never get the songs out of my head. It's even rubbed off on my friends. Even the ones who have never seen Les Mis are always telling me about how they burst out laughing after hearing the someone say the phrase 'lovely ladies'.

I was once having a conversation, I can't remember what about, but a friend actually said, 'the customer has to see what they get in advance'.
So I quickly burst out, 'It's not for the whore to say yes sir or no sir it's not for the harlet to pick or to choose or to lead me a dance'.

lol

everyone just stared at me

lol

Happens to me all the time in History class. For some reason there is always something to do with whores or concubines or prostitutes in our textbook and everytime my friend and I turn to eachother and start singing "Lovely Ladies."

Another time a friend of mine was trying to be all philosophical by saying "Who am I, really?" and I had to reply "24601."

I sing the songs and my parents tell me to shut up cause they hate it.

shakalakababy

oh yes i've done that many times before. But since i'm the only one in my little group of friends who knows les mis I always just get told to shut up and get weird stares.

thank goodness for you lot

My mother said to me tonight as i left the house. Go careful now...

And i said "Stay out of sight there's danger in the streets tonight..." she shook her head. And said..."You and bloomin les mis!"

Ahhh mother!

I Love Lockstock

^^^ Haha! I like that one!

I've never done this with Les Miz, but I've quoted Into the Woods profusely and at innapropriate times.

lostquiche

We were reading some dumb thing in my French textbook and there was somone named Marius interveiwed. So of couse a huge laugh biult up inside me until a loud "HAH!!!!! Marius!!!" burst out and I started laughing. The girl next to me turns around and goes "yeah, his name is Mark? So?" And I replied"No, MARIUS! as in Marius, you're late, whats wrong today? you look as if you've seen a ghost? Some wine and say whats going on!"

...she hasn't looked at me the same way since.

Today my friend said 'How strange' and I had the desire to sing 'this feeling that my lifes begun at last!'

Speaking of singing Les Mis at random times, I thought this video was amusing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhXsJjVdj1E

Fantine

Hahaha that was awesome Smile

My friend and i went to the grocery store today to buy some sausages for dinner. They didnt have the sausages we wanted however, so we looked at the other and debated how much meat there was in them. Then i started to sing the part from "Master of the house" about the sausages, "Kidney of a horse, liver of a cat". He agreed with me he wouldnt eat those sausages Smile
