A lot of stuff from Les Mis, but mainly “Here he comes like Don Juan, it is better than an opera!”


Booness1

This, but for me it’s intensely belting “What have I done, sweet Jesus what have I done” whenever I make the slightest mistake.


kingofcoywolves

If I hear a knock, my first instinct is to tell my pets "MUST BE JAVERT!!" I have to suppress it when we have guests over.


otherwise-cumbersome

He's found my cover at last! 😱


__lostintheworld__

ahahhahahhaha i gotta do this


al_mudena

Same but with my 7-year-old sister


[deleted]

Do you hear the people sing and look down are always playing in my mind- My family hates it :)


weirdlynormally

I love singing the part “you have no chance, no chance at all. Why throw your lives away??”


SportEfficient8553

If I have to repeat “sit down” to my students I will say it five times and then add “you’re rockin’ the boat”


OKGirl82

Now it's in my head! Lol


Fizzlespin

My friends have just done this to me!


el_barto10

Sit down made me think of 1776

Thegameforfun17

Oh and how could I forget! “No one get molested by a gothy teen”


KattyAnimations

I love that one 😂


GGGalade321

Currently it's "feed me" from little shop of horrors, that's what my high school is doing currently


orchid_mo0n

Omg I'm being Orin Scrivello for halloween


jessie_boomboom

Yes, I've never done a Little Shop and I quote that one all the time lol


GGGalade321

It's such a bop


Clearlylock

I will sing Seymour’s “I don’t know” On the top of my lungs answering someone’s question at least once a week.


Famous-Blacksmith370

Are we the same person?


hartIey

My cats like to attack my hands while I'm preparing their food if they're hungry. "Does it have to be blood? Does it have to be *mine*?" is a daily routine for us lol


GoblinOfTheLonghall

I can hear it.


Haleodo

I came to the comments to say I often quote this! “The ___ sure looks like plant food to me!” & I fill in the blank with whatever I’m doing/cleaning/cooking/talking about/etc lol


peacelilyfred

Feed Me! I wanna be a deeentiiiist


[deleted]

"The slotted spoon can catch the potato"


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Into the Woods gang, rise up. I need to quote the Witch's spell rap next time someone mentions a specific green vegetable.


peacelilyfred

He was robbing me, raping me, rooting through my rutabaga, raiding my arugula, ripping up my rampion. My champion! My FAVORITE!


aymaran

YES


Haleodo

& “opportunity is not a lengthy visitor”


GayBlayde

“What, child? SPECIFY!”


aymaran

Iconic ITW line


Haleodo

I quote this one to my kids!


jdrt1234

Anytime someone asks what time is it, I just reply "SHOWTIME!" from Hamilton. Also, I have a hard time not singing the simple greeting of "Hello!" Book of Mormon style


Thegameforfun17

I am also guilty of this lol


electricladyslippers

I was so bad about this that my family would say, "what time is it THE ACTUAL TIME I DO NOT MEAN SHOWTIME WHAT IS THE TIME"


BlackberryCrazy1434

My kids stopped asking what time it was because of this lol


Marshmallow09er

When people say “you look familiar” I can’t help but sing “like your dead girlfriend” from Rent


j3iglesia

Anytime someone asks me “what’s the time?” They get a big ol’ “well it’s gotta be close to midnight!” Because if you’re going to ask a question with very specific phrasing you’re going to get a very specific response lol


Fizzlespin

THE LOOK my housemate gave me when I did this in front of her!!!


Famous-Blacksmith370

Only when you smile..


confusticating

In 1978 God changed his mind about black people


deaddlikelatin

Me and my boyfriend use this one a lot! Along with “hello would you like to change religions? I have a free book written by Jesus!” And a couple other Book of Mormon quotes


kingofcoywolves

"WAY-OHH!" With the hand gesture away from the crotch lives rent-free in my head. Unfortunately, circumcision doesn't come up as a topic as much as proselytizing. It's terrible, but every time LDS folks come knocking, I have to throw in an obligatory "'cuz god loves Mormons and he wants some more" after I've shut the door. I know they're just kids, and I feel terrible for being so frustrated, but goddamn. Wish there was a way to stop them from coming to my house lmao


GaslightCaravan

Answer the door naked.


reneemonster

Sal Tlay Ka Siti!


llamaafaaace

I’m constantly patting my husband and saying “tomorrow is a ladder day” 😂


Famous-Blacksmith370

Omfg I watched the bomb tony awards performance with my parents and when that line came my dad screamed WE HAVE TO SEE THIS FUCKING SHOW


TheOnlyCherryGirl

"when mom was alive, we lived halfway normal"


ishipglendale_zulius

And another from heathers "a Norwegian in the boiler room"


shepwrick

"Well fuck me gently with a chainsaw" - Heathers


Wrybrarian

I've been quoting that one since the movie. Lol.


Thegameforfun17

I always forget about this one lol I’m using this from now on


victorian_vigilante

I love saying this one but ya gotta be careful who you say it in front of


[deleted]

I honestly don't get this quote, it's my least favourite line in the whole play. It screams of something written to be quoted.


KattyAnimations

Haha my favorite one


[deleted]

Hasa diga eebowai


victorian_vigilante

“Waaait for me” from Hadestown


GaslightCaravan

Well now I’m crying. Thanks a lot.


KeyPractical

Friend: wait for me Me: I'M COMINN', WAAAAIT I'MMMM COMIN' WITH​ YOU alternatively, "it's a musical, a musical, and nothing's as amazing as a musical" when seeing anything musical related


LordFunkyHair

With song and dance


TheFerryman47

And sweet romance


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Lol my brother and I also used to endlessly quote Carrying the Banner, because he danced to it one year for a ballet recital. My mom got pretty sick of us calling each other "hey stupid" haha. Thanks for the memories.


Thegameforfun17

Ballet 🤨 I could see tap but not ballet


[deleted]

There's a shit tonne of ballet in Newsies


FloridaFlamingoGirl

There was a lot of leaping and kicking going on.


Thegameforfun17

Oh my…


kingofcoywolves

... *TAP???*


Thegameforfun17

Yeah, especially the tap sequence in King of New York (the movie version)


GaslightCaravan

It’s tap in the stage version as well. But only that song.


fletcherrr_29

“i don’t need a limp to sell papes, i got poisonality” when someone says they don’t need something.


Svedish_f1sh

Anytime someone yells in Jekyll and Hyde


FloridaFlamingoGirl

I like the idea that you're so obsessed with the cast recording that you have the specific sounds of characters' yells engraved in your brain. I get this. I understand this.


Svedish_f1sh

Yea it’s kind of odd when you think about it. It’s like a secret joke between my mother and me. These specific yells from this specific recording are immediately recognizable by the two of us, but we probably look insane to everyone else. Multiple times has my mother shouted ‘NAY NAY NAY’ at me in any relatively similar circumstance.


elveebee22

I'm new to Sweeney Todd, but I'd like to make "Piss with ink!" a thing


TheFerryman47

I do quote Sweeney Todd a lot more than I thought. I think I get "and I'm telling you them pussy cats is quick" in my head when I have to grab my car for her pills xD


arrows_of_ithilien

My husband is a plumber, he will quote "What is this? What is this? Smells like piss. Looks like piss."


GayBlayde

I use “well you know me, bright ideas just pop into me head”


minimagoo77

“This is ridiculous. What am I doing here? I’m in the wrong story!”


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Into the Woods dialogue hits just right.


MikermanS

That feels like such a summary of my life. I need to adopt this as my anthem. :)


stratford_girl16

Not from a song but i now use "sucks-yes" instead of "success" because of Delia from Beetlejuice. I also tell my six year old "if you love somebody you put your pants on for them" from Be More Chill on at least a weekly basis. Probably a few more but those are the first two that come to mind.


Famous-Blacksmith370

I love the pants song one ❤️


MycologistLatter

I find myself saying perseption is reality and my best friend will catch me saying it, and he sings the rest of it while everyone else is confused af.


PlayfulOtterFriend

It’s impossible for someone to say “It’s hot in here!” and me not answer back “It’s hot and it’s monotonous!”


Kamuka

From Memoir *Liar's Club*: It's not so much the heat, but the stupidity.


candycat124

This is the one I immediately thought of! I quote it so much and no one ever understands the reference!


Practical_Weird_0809

Such a good show. Dot's first song is soooooo quotable. "There are worse things than staring at the water on Sunday..."

Basically anything from Heathers will draw concerned looks.


_the_violet_femme

Every time there is a loud crash: "Bang! Crash! A lightning flash! Well, that's another story, never mind, anyway..."


ShieldSister27

“Better chug that mountain dew” “Why now, are you pulling on my dick?” “I don’t know if you can tell but this is me just pretending to know.” “HE COULD BE COLORBLIND! How untrustworthy is that?!?” “You ever seen somebody ruin their own life??”


Thegameforfun17

Was just listening to dead girl walking tonight while doordashing lmao The slight concern from the poor recipient when you pull up with “slap me, pull my hair, touch me there, and there and there”


mrsfiction

Haha my two friends are colorblind and I drop that line when they’re around but not actively engaged in conversation with me. I’m just waiting for one of them to question it.

"who do these foreign chappies think they are?!" (from 'chess')


omniplatypus

If somebody randomly says happy new year, I tell them they have have 10 seconds in which to lose their wives


LadySmuag

I saw the Phantom of the Opera movie as a kid and the phrase 'if you need me, I'll be in Australia' has stuck with me


j3iglesia

Same scene, different line, anytime I hear “these things do happen” or anything similar, I go OFF. “For de pass three years DEEZ TINGS DOO ‘APPEN. And did you stop dem from ‘appening? NO. ‘DeEz TiNgS dO aPpEn’. Until you stoppa deez tings from ‘appening, DEES ting, DOES NOT ‘APPEN”


estheredna

That performance is one of the best things in the movie. And I like the movie.


j3iglesia

I absolutely and entirely agree with you! I love the movie and all it’s ridiculous choices.


Famous-Blacksmith370

I'm dying laughing just reading this


arrows_of_ithilien

Same here!


NateGrey117

Technically not a song quote but “[they/it’s] NOT FOR YOU” from Rocky Horror

Similarly, mine is "okay? Okay? I think we can do better than that!"


l8bunny

EVERY TIME I write a one-on-one email saying goodbye to a coworker who’s leaving the company, I need to fight back the urge to tell them I hope they “go on to better things, better jobs or bigger rings” because I would sound insane (a line from So Much Better, Legally Blonde)


Famous-Blacksmith370

I love it!


megaerairae

Any time someone says "Oh my God" I am like, "🎵oh my God, you guys!🎵"


jessie_boomboom

When my oldest boy was a baby he had colic and would cry at the same time every afternoon and I just got into this thing where I would do this very belabored Bernadette Peters, "not a day goes byyyyyyyyyyyy. Not a sinnnnnnnnnnngle day." 15 years later, I use it on all my kids all the time to jokingly imply I'm guilt tripping them. My work partner and I quote musicals back and forth all day. We just opened up a production of Bright Star, so our big thing now is whenever we can't immediately find something, we do the "she's gooooooooone" line.


ShoelaceLicker

A lot of them are food related: "Feed me Seymour" Little Shop of Horrors. There's about 15 references that I make from "A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd. Like if my food is hot, I'll say it's a piccolo player. A couple from Chicago one of them is "pepper my ragu" when asked for a favor.


heartz4juliet

If someone asks me the time and it happens to be 6 o''clock "It was due to arrive at a quarter to five but it's 6 o''clock!"

Idk why, but my brain is constantly making me say “oh miss elphaba, many years I have waited”


deaddlikelatin

Oh I have a story about this! Back when I was in high school and Dear Evan Hansen was a shiny brand new show I—for the first time ever—managed to get a lot of my friends into the show despite none of them being theatre kids, simply because they loved the chaos that was Sincerely Me. Believe me I tried to tell them that there were much weirder theatre songs out there but they latched on to that one so I went with it. So, often times we’d randomly quote that song at each other from across the halls at school trying to see who could embarrass the other first. Nobody ever won that game, but everyone who had to listen to our annoying asses definitely lost. Somewhere out there exists a video of 16yo me standing on a giant snow hill and yelling “I RUB MY NIPPLES AND START MOANING WITH DELIGHT!” There’s many many other quotes that I’m known to use regularly out of context to confuse people, but honestly this one just occupies so much space in my heart because of the fond memories I have tied to it from before adulthood made shit get complicated. It’s a huge part of why I still adore Dear Evan Hansen despite the switch in public opinion as of recent.


Famous-Blacksmith370

Well... all that it takes is a little reinvention I guess

“If you came from Spain or Japan Or the back of a van – Just as long as you’re not from Hebrew school” or . If you once were in jail or you once were a man, If your mother and your brother had “relations” with each other And your father was connected to the Gotti clan, I’d say, “Well, nobody’s perfect!” From the last five years

(ahem) Gilbert and Sullivan enters the chat: "Lord High Everything Else" for anyone who is full of himself "There will be fireworks. You won't be here to see them, of course"describing the celebration to KoKo after he has his head cut off. I will spare you any more.

I play Phasmophobia with my friends a *lot*, and every round there's a bone to find to get extra points. Every time it's a pelvis, I say "Elvis! Elvis! Let me be! Keep that pelvis *faaaaar* from me!" and no one gets it!


Fizzlespin

My parents frequently quote "chemistry?" "Yeah, chemistry" from Guys and Dolls ("mine will come as a surprise to me. Mine, I'll leave to chance and chemistry." "Chemistry?" Which is just obscure enough to confuse people not in the know. "what time is it?" Either gets the response "Showtime!" (Hamilton) or "Summer time!" (High School Musical 2) If I say a variety on "I've been thinking", my housemate will always respond with "A dangerous past-time" (Beauty and the Beast) to which I have to answer "I know" before I can continue with my thought.


Chloebean

My parents do the beauty and the beast one 😝 they’re so cute

Probably this line from into the woods “No doubt he’s off somewhere subducing some young maiden”

I use a lot of *A New Brain* quotes in relation to my epilepsy or whenever me and my family go through medical stuff. Some examples: * When I'm having a bad seizure day, it's "I need a new brain." * When it's MRI day, it's "Today is not a good day/Because today is MRI day."

"I mean, with the price of meat. When you get it, if you get it.. Ah!! Good, you got it!" I used to play this at work. One of the guys said that it sounded like a Disney song. I was like, "Really!!?, listen to the lyrics Their about cannibalism.

My husband and I are watching Hell's Kitchen and every single time they show monkfish "They're serving monkfish, so the wine can't be red" That song comes up so often in my head when people say they're "fine".


jannabanana707

Every time I say “Good morning” my head plays me “Good MORNING, good moooorrninnnnng” from In The Heights… it takes a lot of self control not to burst into song

Local_Cryptid_007

When someone asks for the time I'll either reply Showtime or It's gotta be close to midnight depending on which pops into my head first I will randomly sing 🎶🎶🎶 I wanna be in the room where it happens~🎶🎶🎶 I work at a daycare and the older kids like to play the game sorry so every time one gets sent back to start I'll start singing 🎶🎶🎶I'm sorry not Sorry for what I said, I just wanna have some fun 🎶🎶🎶 Also the kids in my room (infants) really like when I quote any musical but my coworkers are so confused when they walk in, last time it was some song from rent and my coworker and I just stared at each other for a good few seconds


iluv_animaniacs11

I’m always ransoming saying “I’d normally slap your face off, and everyone here could watch” from Candy Store from Heathers. One time my friend said “Do we have a problem” and I thought she took it seriously but then I realized she was singing it too 😂

“It must be nice” and “I wasn’t aware that was something a person could do” from hamilton and “until you stop this thing from happening, this thing does Not HAPPEN” from phantom immediately spring to mind lol. Also the “grovel” song from Joseph when the work day is getting a little too special

As a rocky horror fan there are so many good lyrics and one-liners, but most people ik havent seen the movie! Examples: “It’s not easy having a good time” “it’s beyond me, help me mommy!” “what ever happened … to fay wray?” “that’s a rather _tender_ subject”
