THE PERFORMANCES
The Go-Gos 'We Got the Beat': Fun, the whole thing was fun. The fact that the rest of the student body looked on in part horror/part apathy somehow took nothing away from the performance for me. A-
'Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead': This was a little too slight for me. B-
Tom Jones' 'It's not Unusual': Darren Criss totally owned this one. Oh yes, this will be on my playlist today. Also, I can't. Stop. Doing. The Carlton dance. A
Anything Goes' 'Anything Goes': This outstanding rendition of the Broadway classic felt like it belonged on a big stage or in a big-screen musical. It was so big in scope and talent. I just loved it. A
Hairspray's 'You Can't Stop the Beat': Another song that made me just want to keep moving. At least it did whenever I wasn't obsessing over the crazy ugly faces everyone seemed to making during that performance. B+
QUOTABLES:
Brittany: "Wait, are you working on a time machine too?"
Kurt on one of the comments on the YouTube video of Rachel and Finn's big kiss on stage: "Why's that T-Rex eating' the Jew?"
Kurt: "If there are purple pianos involved in this, I'm on board."
Sue: "I must say, I'm enjoying this new stink of man marbles wafting off of you."
Brittany: "Well, yeah, I was gonna do it but I'm a water sign, so, you know."
Santana: "I've got a bar of soap and bottle of peroxide in my locker with your name on it."
Artie: "Her ears should get to park in my handicapped spot."
Beastie: "Maybe I should rough her up. Go all Deliverance on her, huh?"
Brittany to Quinn: "We used to be like the three Muskateers. Now Santana and I are like Almond Joys, and you're like a Jolly Rancher that fell in the ashtray."
Hit the comment boards and tell me what lines bowled you over and what you thought about the episode and the songs. And please tell me that someone else totally got Becky's twisted genius about the redundancy of toast... Just me? Okay.
