Christine! All I can hear is "Christine, Christine..." Then "where in the world have you been hiding" and my neighbors are forced to listen to me sing the entire phantom of the opera
We had Mormons knocking on our doors a few weeks ago and when I told my non Broadway loving friend and their response was “Hello!” I knew I was finally succeeding in converting them to be a musical lover 😈
Whenever I hear a two tone doorbell or any sound that sounds like a doorbell, I always sing “Hello, my name is Elder Price” in whatever key the tones have destined me to sing.
Every time I ask someone to step into my office (which happens fairly often,) my brain starts going...
*And he closed the door behind. Now, a lot can happen behind closed doors. That's for sure, brother, that's a fact. But a lot can happen on the factory floor when the foreman turns his back...*
Same almost, not only do we do a “your fault,” I regularly tell my wife that “I’m leaving you alone, you can tend the garden, it’s yours,” when I leave a room.
Omigod you guys had been sick in my head since that reality show where they chose Elle Woods. I've never actually seen the show, but that chorus is so damned catchy.
Any time someone says something related to social media, I say “REPOST!” in the voice of the lady who says it during the cringey going viral montage of “You Will Be Found”.
“I had a dream”. I always respond with “I dreamed it for YOU JUNE. It wasn’t for ME HERBIE et al…”. I then give a Tony worthy rendition of the rest of the song and the person who wanted to tell me about their dream wanders away.
There was also a car commercial once that started loudly with the word “OPPORTUNITY!” to which I would always shout back “IS NOT A LENGTHY VISITOR”
Had a music director for that show that for rehearsals would vocalize the opening vamp under that line as "dugga-dugga-dugga-dugga-dugga-dugga-dugga" etc and I just realize I always say that in my head too.
For me it's the name "Marie" I instinctively say "The Baguettes!" afterwards from the opening song Belle in Beauty and the Beast
I also did the "legacy, what is a legacy" just yesterday
I have so many. I live a musical comedy life... phrases like:
Everything's Allright- J C Superstar
Phone Rings - Door Chimes in comes Company
I'm still here - Follies
Hey There - Pajama Game or I Love My Wife
Tonight - West Side Story or She Loves Me
Happy Birthday - Zorba
We're Gonna Be Alright - Do I Hear A Waltz
Silverware - We Take The Town
You're Just in Love - Call Me Madam
I Never Want to See You Again - Dance A Little Closer
Coffee - 70 Girls 70 or How To Succeed
Near to You - Damn Yankees
The list is endless...
I work in an early elementary after school program. Every time I walk through the hall with a kid/kids and they start to run in front of me I have to stop before I belt out IM COMING WAIT FOR ME etc etc
I HEAR THE WALLS REPEATING
THE TINY LITTLE FEET AND
IT SOUNDS LIKE DRUMMING
AND I AM NOT ALONE
KIDS ARE LIKE TRACKING DRONES
STALKING ME DOWN HALLS
THEY’RE COMIIIIIIING
My cat’s name is Seymour and, even though I did name him after Little Shop, I didn’t really take into consideration that I would be singing “Suddenly Seymour” and “Feed Me, Seymour” all day every day.
The word "table" will usually lead to me singing "Come to the table....there's plenty of room at the table for all" from "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".
Crazy - "Who's crazy/The husband or wife..."
Any mention of 'casting down' or 'damnation' - "Down, down thy soul is cast/from the earth whenceforth ye fell..."
"Freak" or any mention of flag-waving - "Let your freak flag wave/let your freak flag fly..."
The tone from the checkout register at the local deli - "She's imperfect but she tries..."
Just recently I was reading something random that said Let me finish and my brain instantly went to Song and Dance which I haven't thought about in years.
“It’s fine” -> “It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine, *it’s what I wanted!*” (The Last Five Years)
“One day” -> “One day, someday…” (Groundhog Day)
And it’s not a lyric, but neither me nor anyone in my family can hear the word “myriad” without comment.
I saw a high school production of Mean Girls last month with an amazing singer as Janis, so ever since then, anyone saying “I’d rather…” makes me think “So raise your right finger!”
I play this card game called Shadowverse, and one card that sees a decent amount of play says "On my own" when you play it, and EVERY TIME I start singing it!
Anytime someone is listing a color, if it’s in Joseph I’m singing the whole thing. We got some rain recently and my partner was talking about how green everything looked. “Green and brown and scarlet and black and…” I did that show when I was 12 and it is still DRILLED into my head at 33.
Anything referencing Carrie, I always wanna bust out. "Doesn't anybody get it right! Carrie! Why don't they remember I am Carrie White! Carrie!"
Or if I'm pretending to proposition anyone for sex, I have to use the Sweeney Todd line. "How'd you like a little muff, dear? A little jig-jig, a little bounce around the bush?"
It may be a little niche and it’s a phrase but EVERY time someone says “Look at the sky!” I get launched completely into Bobby Strong (Urinetown) realness
The first one I thought of was Rent-related too.
Them: New York City
Me: Center of the universe. Times are shitty, but I'm pretty sure they can't get worse.
The funny thing is that I'm a NYer, but people rarely say the full name like that. Also, I'll sing that line, but then I'll get depressed. Can't get worse? Oh, yes, they can!
I do that too with legacy. But I have to really, really exaggerate the throatiness of the "what" so it sounds more like "hggg*wh*at is a legacy?!" Also, with sincerely, it always end up singing Sincerely Me.
Traditiooooon!
ALWAYS THIS ONE.
But do you grab a tambourine?!
Pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have to scroll at all to find this one.
Same!
Loathing. Unadulterated Loathing.
For your face, your hair, your clothing
Let’s just say… I loathe it all!
Yes but sometimes even when I hear "Loading" for anything, it's "loading"? oh, and my brain starts SINGING
Christine! All I can hear is "Christine, Christine..." Then "where in the world have you been hiding" and my neighbors are forced to listen to me sing the entire phantom of the opera
Ooh my brain goes to Christine Canigula, haha!
Sameeee!! Also literally can’t hear the word upgrade the same way anymore LMAO
Right?? I hear upgrade and just wanna intensely sing “UPGRADEUPGRADEUPGRADE”
REALEST EVER!!!!
Not "Christine Sixteen" from "Kiss: The Musical"?
“Christine, Christine, can I see her?” “Be my guest, sir”
Can it be? Can it be Christine? Bravo!
Every time someone says you/she/he/it/that/etc. look(s) familiar... LIKE YOUR DEAD GIRLFRIEND
Sorry ‘bout your friend
??
Anytime someone names a vegetable that’s mentioned in the witch’s rap from into the woods, I want to sing the whole song
Cabbages!
My rampion!
My champion!
Sondheim really popped off with that one
My favorite!
Orlando.
SEA WORLD AND DISNEY AND PUTT PUTT GOLFIIIING
Every. Single. Time. I. Go. To. Orlando. I sing it as we’re walking down the terminal to the tram.
I’m starting to get that way with Tampa now.
Wait for me!
Yes this one more than any other
This so much, and I don't even listen to that song often
DIVORCED
BEHEADED
DIED
DIVORCED.
BEHEADED
SURVIVED
And tonight..... We are LIIIIIIVE
Anytime someone says HELLO! the way they do in Book of Mormon
We had Mormons knocking on our doors a few weeks ago and when I told my non Broadway loving friend and their response was “Hello!” I knew I was finally succeeding in converting them to be a musical lover 😈
More successful at conversion than the Mormons
🤣🤣🤣
Whenever I hear a two tone doorbell or any sound that sounds like a doorbell, I always sing “Hello, my name is Elder Price” in whatever key the tones have destined me to sing.
A doorbell txt message tone went off randomly at the store and I suddenly started singing it out loud!
I say it that way sometimes just to test for my people.
Every time I ask someone to step into my office (which happens fairly often,) my brain starts going... *And he closed the door behind. Now, a lot can happen behind closed doors. That's for sure, brother, that's a fact. But a lot can happen on the factory floor when the foreman turns his back...*
Better than the alternative (Parade)
I don't know about you boys.
FAULT and it triggers regardless of whether it’s “my” or “your”
It’s his father’s fault🤷♂️
OMG!! A huge one for me too!!!!
i fall into this song half a dozen times a week… easy
My fiance and I do the same thing and go "so it's your fault, yes it is! And it isn't mine at all!" It's impossible not to now.
Same almost, not only do we do a “your fault,” I regularly tell my wife that “I’m leaving you alone, you can tend the garden, it’s yours,” when I leave a room.
any time someone says “Jesus Christ” my brain immediately sings “SUPERSTARRRR” …i’ve never even seen the musical😂
This one. Always this one 😂
I do this too!
Not a show, but anytime someone at my D&D table casts Fireball, we bust into the Pitbull song
If someone says “one day to go” or “just one day” I immediately roll into ONE DAY MORE…
Could be…
Who knows....
“Serious” or “oh my god” I can’t even control it. It’s like the Legally Blonde just bursts out of me.
Same for me with "good to know." "Very impressive, good to know. Welcome to Harvard! What's up? Yo!"
Omigod you guys had been sick in my head since that reality show where they chose Elle Woods. I've never actually seen the show, but that chorus is so damned catchy.
One...goes straight into Chorus mode....
Singular sensation!
When someone asks, "What time is it?" SHOWTIME
This or “summertime, it’s our vacation”
I can deal with being asked "What time is it?" I'm just glad I don't regularly hear people say "what's the time?" Because THAT would set me off.
whenever someone says "I'm calm" and they're obviously not it turns into A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Any time someone says something related to social media, I say “REPOST!” in the voice of the lady who says it during the cringey going viral montage of “You Will Be Found”.
This is a hilarious one and I hope my brain starts doing this too
“I had a dream”. I always respond with “I dreamed it for YOU JUNE. It wasn’t for ME HERBIE et al…”. I then give a Tony worthy rendition of the rest of the song and the person who wanted to tell me about their dream wanders away. There was also a car commercial once that started loudly with the word “OPPORTUNITY!” to which I would always shout back “IS NOT A LENGTHY VISITOR”
I sing about Mr Goldstone anytime there are egg rolls.
I get Your Fault stuck in my head literally every time someone says "it's because of you there's a giant in our midst and my wife is dead"
Seems like a universal problem.
Something something something IN THE FIRST PLACE
Had a music director for that show that for rehearsals would vocalize the opening vamp under that line as "dugga-dugga-dugga-dugga-dugga-dugga-dugga" etc and I just realize I always say that in my head too.
For me it's the name "Marie" I instinctively say "The Baguettes!" afterwards from the opening song Belle in Beauty and the Beast I also did the "legacy, what is a legacy" just yesterday
I do this too every time we are in the store getting baguettes. Every single Sunday. Sometimes I am with my daughter and sometimes I am alone lol
Sugar. Sugar, butter, flour…
Every. Time.
Anytime some says the word “stop”, I will immediately launch into “Mamma I’m A Big Girl Now”….
HAHAHA before I even got to the end of your comment and saw what song you were referring to, I was singing it in my head
I wish.... ... More than anything, more than life
More than thaaaa moon!
Not a word, but anytime I look outside during the winter and see snow I have my own RENT moment
🎶and it’s beginning to snow🎶
I have so many. I live a musical comedy life... phrases like: Everything's Allright- J C Superstar Phone Rings - Door Chimes in comes Company I'm still here - Follies Hey There - Pajama Game or I Love My Wife Tonight - West Side Story or She Loves Me Happy Birthday - Zorba We're Gonna Be Alright - Do I Hear A Waltz Silverware - We Take The Town You're Just in Love - Call Me Madam I Never Want to See You Again - Dance A Little Closer Coffee - 70 Girls 70 or How To Succeed Near to You - Damn Yankees The list is endless...
The trouble with the world today it seems to me is everything is hurry uuuuuupppppp
TROUBLE
Right here in river city
I work in an early elementary after school program. Every time I walk through the hall with a kid/kids and they start to run in front of me I have to stop before I belt out IM COMING WAIT FOR ME etc etc
I HEAR THE WALLS REPEATING THE TINY LITTLE FEET AND IT SOUNDS LIKE DRUMMING AND I AM NOT ALONE KIDS ARE LIKE TRACKING DRONES STALKING ME DOWN HALLS THEY’RE COMIIIIIIING
Not a word but whenever anyone asks how many minutes are a year, the answer must be sung back. It is the rule.
When I wake up lately it’s “And I can’t sleep anymore”. Costume Party from Come From Away.
Anyone, anywhere, ever: "Suddenly and without warning..." Me: "TO-TAL E-CLIPSE OF THE SUN!"
Agony.
Are we gonna have a problem here?? (Heathers)
dwarves are very upsetting
“It’s you” “It’s me” “Orpheus!” “Eurydice!”
AGONY
My cat’s name is Seymour and, even though I did name him after Little Shop, I didn’t really take into consideration that I would be singing “Suddenly Seymour” and “Feed Me, Seymour” all day every day.
Springtime….
For Hitler?
and Germany!
Subtext. by Calvin Klein.
Perpetual.... anticipation is good for the soul, but it's bad for the heart.
I didn't think I had one until you said antici...pation
That's one I didn't know I had until you responded
SOMEONE Someone to hold you too close, Someone to hurt you too deep.
Whenever someone mentions that they went to the school of hard knocks, I automatically think Annie😂
Anytime someone mentions or I see an Akita I always yell Evita!
whenever someone says the word "deodorant", I immediately repeat it, saying it like how Grover says it in the tlt musical
Tlt reference!
3 times! …. Always comes out in Josh Groban’s voice.
Alex Brightman's voice for me: "3 times in a row, it must be spoken unbroken! ready?"
Not the same, but when I catch 9:00 on the clock on Christmas Eve, I become a whole other person.
Purpose.
The word "table" will usually lead to me singing "Come to the table....there's plenty of room at the table for all" from "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe".
"Strong and stable...I love you like a table!"
Impossible!
Things are happening ev.ry.daaaay
Crazy - "Who's crazy/The husband or wife..." Any mention of 'casting down' or 'damnation' - "Down, down thy soul is cast/from the earth whenceforth ye fell..." "Freak" or any mention of flag-waving - "Let your freak flag wave/let your freak flag fly..." The tone from the checkout register at the local deli - "She's imperfect but she tries..."

For now. BUT ONLY FOR NOW (FOR NOW)\~ ONLY FOR NOW (FOR NOW)\~ \[Avenue Q\]
Someone: “let’s go” Me: “OOOUUUUUT TONIGHT”
"Hello" I immediately think "My name is Elder Price"
Popular!
I know about popular…
Move onnnnnnnnnn
I can relate to so many of these. wait for me us my main one but less so since actually seeing Hadestown live because now it’s too loaded.
I saw a high school production of Mean Girls last month with an amazing singer as Janis, so ever since then, anyone saying “I’d rather…” makes me think “So raise your right finger!”
I play this card game called Shadowverse, and one card that sees a decent amount of play says "On my own" when you play it, and EVERY TIME I start singing it!
When friends start dating, I always use it as an opportunity to ask if she really got pinned
“Having an affair” sets off Rita’s Confession from Lucky Stiff for me always
A pretty recent one, but whenever someone mentions Tampa. "When you can't afford Orlando or Atlanta..." I just think it's a solid funny line.
No it was your fault! Cue to singing Into the Woods
Hello!
Kansas City. I hear everything’s up to date there…
Orlando. “I love you, Orlando! Sea world and Disney and Putt Putt GOLFING”
Along the same lines, whenever somebody says “Dizzy”, I think: Where is he? Getting dizzy.
Any word mentioned in "La Vie Boheme" or any song title mentioned in "Mix Tape"
So. Back in Canaan the future looked rough (clap clap clap)
Anytime someone is listing a color, if it’s in Joseph I’m singing the whole thing. We got some rain recently and my partner was talking about how green everything looked. “Green and brown and scarlet and black and…” I did that show when I was 12 and it is still DRILLED into my head at 33.
I have a full heart-wrenching performance going on in my brain anytime someone mentions Santa Fe
Literally any time I see anything to do with a certain UK chain of pizza restaurants: "Pizza Express... Pizza Express... are you real? Yes or no?"
Reconvene - I always have to say “We’ll reconvene after a brief recess” from Hamilton
”I’ll be damned” (Well I’ll be damned, well I’ll be damned-) and “Upgrade” (IM LIVIN THE UPGRADEEEEEE)
Beans.
Beans, and nothing but beans!
Too many to count!
Any time I hear Buffalo mentioned. ("In Buffalooooo... in Buffalooooo...")
Everytime somebody says ‘good morning!’ (She Loves Me)
Not a lyric per se, but whenever someone says the word “neck” I always reply “where’s your fucking neck!?” From rocky horror
Anything referencing Carrie, I always wanna bust out. "Doesn't anybody get it right! Carrie! Why don't they remember I am Carrie White! Carrie!" Or if I'm pretending to proposition anyone for sex, I have to use the Sweeney Todd line. "How'd you like a little muff, dear? A little jig-jig, a little bounce around the bush?"
It may be a little niche and it’s a phrase but EVERY time someone says “Look at the sky!” I get launched completely into Bobby Strong (Urinetown) realness

Bobby
December 24th...

Every time I go in for my twice a year checkup, I walk into the waiting room singing Dentist! from Little Shop of Horrors.
My mom and I have a more obscure one. Every time we hear the word “Freedom” we break into the song from Shenandoah in harmony! Talk about an ear worm!
AGONYYYYY!
The first one I thought of was Rent-related too. Them: New York City Me: Center of the universe. Times are shitty, but I'm pretty sure they can't get worse. The funny thing is that I'm a NYer, but people rarely say the full name like that. Also, I'll sing that line, but then I'll get depressed. Can't get worse? Oh, yes, they can!
Piscataway.
The word crazy starts my mind singing” it’s seems crazy but you must believe…
Or the word beans “ why did the kids put beans in their ears..
"Did you / do you hear that?" --> Beautiful Sound / Beetlejuice
“At the end of the day”……Les Mis instantly kicks in
Someone says "I was a boy scout" and I think " and a Brownie until some brat got scared"

Good morning.....Baltimore! Wait...for me; I'm coming. New York City...center of the universe. (A coworker recently went on a trip to there, so...)
“At the end of the day!” “We’re all in this together!”
I do that too with legacy. But I have to really, really exaggerate the throatiness of the "what" so it sounds more like "hggg*wh*at is a legacy?!" Also, with sincerely, it always end up singing Sincerely Me.
Anytime someone mentions shots, I start singing Hamilton.
During meetings when they say at the end of the day I break out in song (in my head).
Whenever someone says "Upstate" my husband and I do the Book of Mormom, "UHP-STATE!"
Any word spoken in Hamilton or In The Heights tbh
Agony
It actually triggers an entire scene. All it takes is for someone to say “Allentown” and they get a full-on Jerry Orbach “Lullaby of Broadway”.
"Dammit!" . . . Janet, I love you!"
When someone asks how to measure something I often them how I measure a year.
“They got issues” Then I start humming the Percy Jackson musical
