Only some songs can rival the complete awesomeness of this song, like Danny Boy funiculi funicula... But this is my all time faviorite, which started my love of classical songs!

I used lyrics from this song to describe Germany's role in causing World War I, and my teacher was like "You listen to music from a show about Japanese history..?"
I got an B+, which is awesome for me. Thanks, Sondheim!

I love the bit where he taps the Reciter on the shoulder and says "I am someone in a tree." The entire way he does it nails the mannerisms of Japanese film.

My favourite Sondheim. Still the emotional impact like the first time I heard it. Thanks for posting!

So the cute guy under the treaty house is dead also?? how sad... I guess it was the 1976 so long ago. Gedde W must have been in his thirties for 16 candles.. scary!
