oh yeah it really is a lot of a lot of
um um
yeah noise that's what it is yeah
foreign noise you understand a word
they're saying
that is because it's in italian but you
know what you have to do you have to
know what the story is all about
this is the barber of seville and there
is this guy figaro
and he is pulling all kinds of stunts so
that his friend can get together with a
lady
that he loves and by the way don't worry
about the words because

my figure is fine thank you very much
for the flattery
[Music]
oh yeah well what you know about opera
i can fit into an inc teensy flashlight
drama a musical drama a play with a
story that's funny all gory the actors
are singers the singers are actors they
sing you the story right through to the
end
the music is beautiful so is the scenery
everyone's dressed in the finest of
scenery
unless a people are into scenery singing
the story right through to the end
i love an opera i love an
opera try singing an opera but don't
sing it so loud don't sing it loud
i'll sing it loud i'm singing
tomorrow is cookie's birthday ah and you
want to throw him a surprise party right
bingo cool that's the good news the bad
news is
tomorrow is cookies day off so the
question is
how do we get cookie to come into the
restaurant on his day off
sherry it'll be a piece of cake we just
tell him there's a big party at the
music pizza and he'd be a fool to miss
it yeah but that kind of steps on the
surprise angle doesn't it well we don't
have to say it's for him
don't stop thinking okay guys i need
your help
how are we going to get cookie to come
into the music pizza
on his day off huh what's going on with
this picture
what well it's not every day you see a
lovely lady standing alone on a beach
chattering away to nobody at all no it's
not nobody those are my uh
we they are we always um
they forget it i'm shari
how do you do joseph delighted how do
you do it
it's not every day you see that kind of
scene either right
look at all those kids at the restaurant
wow
35 kids 35 times an average check of
seven dollars equals a lot of money
yeah somebody's got themselves a gold
mine yeah that would be me
those are your kids no no no that's my
gold mine a restaurant
really oh sure you mean
if i'd had your business savvy maybe i'd
still own the place
you used to own the music pizza yeah
until five years ago it was joseph's
house of pies
the pie thing always the pie thing was
stupid stupid stupid
if only i'd found something else beside
pies
so what do you sell in your restaurant
pies not pizza oh
pizza pie pizza pies why don't you drop
in anytime
and see what we've done with your old
place well
tonight okay oh tonight would be lovely
sweat be there tonight
[Music]
so the question to get is
for a birthday gift no money no money
you're kidding i'm so broke i can't even
afford to pay attention you know cookie
would like it
much better if he made his gift
i think she's right yeah and you know i
have boxes and boxes and boxes
of cake mixes and we could follow the
structions
instructions and we could make him a
birthday cake we will
but for his big gift
what does cookie like the best ah
so let's go to the music store and we'll
buy a box of
opera mix and we'll follow the
instructions
no darling operas don't come in boxes if
we wanted to make up
an opera for cookie's birthday which is
not a bad idea you know
how do we do it well first we pick a
story
and then we act it out not in words
but in song like because in opera the
actors sing
everything real opera singers can sing
very high
very low very fast very slow
and loud enough to be heard in every row
of the most enormous theater oh yeah but
the other thing is
use a microphone no they learn how to do
it
without hurting their vocal cords we
need vocal cords to sing
you didn't tell us that we had to buy
special equipment
no no no darling your vocal cords are
two little muscles they look like this
they're right in your throat and they
bang together they vibrate
and they create all the sounds that you
make
what makes them bang together the air
that you breathe as it
leaves your lungs oh yeah you know
whenever i
i i sing i run out of breath oh that's
cause you have to learn how to control
the air
and let it out slow
there thank you jolly horse you know
opera singers
learn to let out a little breath at a
time so they can sing long notes
for example i can let the air out of
this balloon all at once
or
i can let it out a little at a time
so the blue room sings a long
nose
your voice is a kind of instrument like
an oboe or clarinet
and we're going to play that instrument
so steady
get ready get set
relax that's right
nothing tense nothing taught nothing in
time
head up stand straight chin
in chest out
we're about to begin
till your lungs and then gently deflate
raise your fingers like so sing
off and sing oh do it
can you feel your vocal cords vibrate
[Music]
that's great you don't have to scream
you don't have to shout all you do is
breathe
[Music]
everything relaxed natural and
free let each single note float out from
your throat
easy as can be feel the sound begin
let it rise and grow
[Music]
how your voice will soar more and more
and more way above your
kisses
singing out your song
[Music]

would say that legendary
it's halloween halloween it's halloween
halloween
everyone invited will be beautifully

head for each guest
but while the meal is barbecuing there
is also trouble growing
listen and to find out what we need
just what we just while we need
what we mean my name is ikebob crane
and i don't like to complain but people
sometimes treat me
fire they say that i'm an
odd bird they laugh and calm me a nerd
but i don't let that make me
tired and i can tell you why i'm
always happy as can be it's cause i love
katrina
and she loves me
[Music]
but it isn't just a pretty face that
sets me apart
besides being beautiful i was so very
smart
no it wasn't just my looks it was also
my brain
that won the heart of the body
[Music]
they call me brom bones and people say
i'm one cool dude
i've also heard him say i got a bad
attitude
[Music]
katrina should have been mine but she
chose ichabod
she picked them instead of me
[Music]
mug

not as lovely as you are
what do you see in that goofy school
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]

dare
once a horseman lost his head he's
buried over there
and here's a part that's really scary if
you're near that cemetery he comes back
each year on halloween

graveyards all give me
the creeps so now i'm on my way and soon
i'll be home in my bed
oh no he's dead with a pumpkin
i am the headless horseman
[Music]
oh no each halloween i'll appear until i
find my head since i haven't found it

starts check it out check it out
you see now that's where he got up and
left where did he go and why
i bet you thought if you made enough
noise we would have noticed you were
gone right
it almost works yeah but what about the
talking cleaning supplies in the closet
puppets and the headless man

could scare you out
by the place back cheek oh you are a
real loser

other dump to haunt
