A night on the town
Last night some friends and I went down to NYC to see Avenue Q. I’d heard good things about it and knew I liked the sound track, but I was still surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Avenue Q is fricking hilarious. (Definitely an adult sense of humor.) I really liked how it used humor to poke fun at real social issues.
Here were my favorite songs and why:
- “What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?” - Funny
- “It Sucks to Be Me” - Funny, but also pokes fun at everyone. Who hasn’t had that moment of self pity when there’s no good reason?
- “If You Were Gay” - I had so much sympathy for Rod during this song. Poor guy.
- “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist” - So true, so true. Now if only we could non-PC enough to just admit it.
- “The Internet Is for Porn” - My favorite song. So funny, and so true. This ones is a lot better on the sound track then it was live though.
- “I Wish I Could Go Back to College” - This song is *so* me. Especially the last line.
- “For Now” - My life right now
Of course, it didn’t hurt that the lead actor (Howie Michael Smith) was really cute.
