I remember watching this when it first came out and thinking that Barney the Boozehound was actually a very good singer as he belted out the “Feed the Birds” parody, “Buy Me a Beer.” Honestly, as much as I love Mary Poppins, the old bird lady terrified me as a kid. Already being very familiar with the music of Mary Poppins, I was extraordinarily amused by “Cut Every Corner.” Not just because that’s actually how I clean anything ever, but also because it’s just so full of unfortunate truth. The “Shary Bobbins” episode of The Simpsons is definitely one of my favorites, not even a little bit because the voice actor sounds so much like Julie Andrews. This song represents the general feel of the show in its unique blend of the ridiculous and the serious.Ģ.) The Simpsons: Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious (1997)

However, possibly the best one is the Finale, where the cast starts out doing a Grease sendup, and then things get serious at around the :48 mark. “ Guy Love” cracks me up, and the “ Everything Comes Down to Poo” song appeals to my forever-twelve-year-old sense of humor. There are some really fun songs in this musical. They had me at “musical episode,” and the fact that there was a whole song devoted to poo meant that I was sold. The lack of dragons, princesses, pirates, spaceships, and superheroes stacks the deck against it, but with Scrubs‘ good writing and characters-plus the fact that my mom was really into it and kept telling me specifics about why I would like it too brought me around.

It takes a particular sort of show and humor to make me watch a medical show. Let me know some of your favorites in the comments! Now, I wish to share some of my favorite musical episodes and songs, in no particular order. I was tardy in my media consumption in a lot of cases and watched a lot of shows many years after they originally aired. The first live-action “musical episode” I ever saw and fell in love with was probably the Buffy musical, even though a few on this list definitely pre-date it. So since I’ve established my musical nerd cred and a history of my love for musicals, it should be clear that this carries over into my taste for television entertainment as well. Currently unable to hear anyone ask, “What time is it?” without wanting to respond with, “Showtime!” Incidentally, I replied to a person who told me to “smile more” at a recent vending event by saying, “Talk less.” Turns out he wasn’t familiar with Hamilton and I just basically sounded like a jerk. Current musical theatre obsession? Hamilton. I have every word memorized from a LOT of musicals. Some favorites, other than those aforementioned, would be: Chess, Jekyll and Hyde, Beauty and the Beast (the stage musical version, please!), Annie, Evita, Guys and Dolls, The Secret Garden, and more. I was raised on Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Disney soundtracks, and many other musicals as well. Admittedly and unashamedly, I’m a huge Broadway dork.
