Day 13 - A song that is a guilty pleasure

[zesty_pinto]

I cringe from time to time admitting I like the songs from the Snoopy musical.

In general, I'm not a musical person; I think Sondheim's Sweeney Todd has a lot of bits I like, and my brother taught me to get into Chess (even though I never saw the production), but I grew up thinking a lot of musicals are relatively cheesy (though I also admit that I wrote the script to a concept musical where all I played was Barenaked Ladies songs since I felt it was really easy to build around). The thing is that if someone found those on my playlist, I don't think people would bat an eye as much if they didn't know me.

But yeah, a musical? And The Snoopy musical at that? Whenever it hits my playlist on the street, I fidget uncomfortably in case someone else can hear it.

And then I eat it all up. "The Vigil" is probably what carries the soundtrack for me.

I may be a sucker for the orchestral background too with that horn backing the vocals. The voice of Lucy barely holding her laughter in the delivery is a nice touch too.

And by the way, it's pumpkin!

Huh. I didn't even know there WAS a Snoopy The Musical.

I think it was a sort of follow up to "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," which I think people are more familiar with but is still nothing people really like to think about when it comes to musicals.

Despite being a sequel to a low-key production to a comic strip, it had some decent songs here and there. I actually like more of the songs in this one more than the one from first show.
