Velma's Revenge (the Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs) - Hairspray

[VelvetChain]

Teressa! I was just YouTubing some different performances of this piece, as I have to sing it at a callback this morning, and I wanted to get the tempo change in my head... ANYWAY, I was so pleased to see you had posted your performance! (Well, the sitzprobe.) Miss you! And great job! (I'll let you know if I book it!)

Oh my god that snake who sings He's a puppet, but I hold the purse AND the strings God I knew "Negro Day" would bring chaos and change Now he's pushing this pinko who might give us all mange She's a blemish, a blackhead that must be expelled There are standards of beauty that must be upheld You may say I'm a bigot, but it just isn't true Look I love Sammy Davis and he's black and a Jew But they'd better get set for a full-out assault they should never have boiled Miss Baltimore CRABS *Hahaha sob

This is Great! Thanks for posting!!! Do you have any more Clips?

Do i hear people talking in the background? How rude! When a person is on stage singing you should have the common courtesy to be quiet and respectful.

@darreyl102 Hey thanks! I have some other clips, but the audio is messy from the wind in the outdoor theatre, I'll post it if I can clean it. There were people talking, but it was a loooong rehearsal (we ran through the show 4xs that day), and they didn't know they were sitting near my recorder, which was a good 50+ feet away from me & the microphone. So they get a pass! :)

@TeressaByrne Please do =) I really love your potrayal of Velma- you were able to capture the beauty, grace AND Craziness that is needed to Play her!
