"Hairspray" Composer MARC SHAIMAN Sings "Fat As I AM"

[marcosvalenca]

We have to thank Shaiman for convincing The Divine Miss M of recording Wind Beneath My Wings, which she didn't want to record.

Does anyone know where I can get sheet music to this song???

"Just my left beast the size of Lanie Kazan." lmao

[andreasscholl]

Ha ha ha, WONDERFULL!!!!!!!

He is GOOD.

[divinegrace01]

Genius.

[Maestrojosh87]

When he sings, he sounds like Tom Lehrer. Maybe he's an influence on his writing. Well, it sounds like it is, because they sound so similar in their writing style.

I like his music yes, but I don't know, that kissing thing he did with Scott in public - I didn't want to see that. Not saying that I am a homophobe or anything, they can be gay. I just don't want to see it.

I remember seeing Bette (aka: Miss Mildew)sing that song to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. She began the number seated in her guest chair, next to Johnny--then gradually crept up onto his desk, undulating and even jetting her boobs in his face. After the lyric "God knows I got the gaaaass" Bette went "Ptttthhhtttt" with her tongue. It was hilarious! Marc was on piano, of course :-) What a great burlesque style song.

PS: In the version Bette sang to Johnny, the lyrics included "The camera's gonna add a TON to my CAN, how did I get as fat as I am?!"

i love this song!!! i heard it on the radio being sung by Bette Midler and couldn't stop laughing!

[udonotknowme1]

Very nice.

[bloeddussel]

Marc is definitly one of the best composers!

[jounster]

This is fantastic!  Bette Midler does a great job with it, too (a little more flambouyant, if you can believe it).

[Thorpe]

LOL. He sings? :D
