This Is What It Sounds Like Inside My Brain.

So Garland was probably wasted at the time, but was Merman? I love them both.
I sort of pictured the inside of your brain being like the static on the radio between stations…
you should prolly kill yourself…..immediately
OMG. I OWN this DVD as well as the entire fabulous season of Judy Garland’s weekly television show. Right before this Ethel (obviously reading a cue card) says “Well, Judy dear, are you all warmed up?” It kills b/c she was such a bad actor, that Merman.
Earlier in the show Ethel sings “Gee But It’s Good to Be Here” or something, and she OWNS it, turning early for each camera cue.
I think I have that series memorized.

Judy Garland + Ethel Merman = Lena Zavaroni

But what do I know, I never got past trig …
i’m so gay for Lindy West right now.
I’ve got Jimmy Durante doing “Ishkabible” in my brain…except he’s saying it “fishkabible” instead…over and over and over
you guys don’t understand–once this infects your brain ALL SONGS start sounding like a judy garland/ethel merman duet. ALL SONGS. you just think about that next time papa roach comes on the radio.
That’s more like what I picture Dan Savage’s brain to look like.
Thanks for that Lena Zavaroni business. Creepy!
I used to play Ethel Merman in the store to get the baggy-ass-pants shoplifting whigger boys to leave. Never had to go past three songs…
