Best. Sheet Music. EVER. (Link goes to a PDF file.)

Haaaahahahaha.

Today's edition of "Oh, the Things You Can Find on YouTube":

Someone made a music vid from clips of programs done by Marina and Gwendal. I was at first unsure of how that would work, but whoever made this managed to make 90% of the clips look like they could conceivably come from a routine choreographed to this music. Too bad the music is kind of bleh. Still, though...

Bwahahaha. I love this episode, and have since high school, when I first watched the reruns. Love the moment when Maurice and Nikolai are about to face off with pistols and Joel comes out and says, "We play to a very sophisticated television audience here..." Love that they stay in character, instead of reverting to actors and actresses; it's kind of like the citizens of Cicely put on a play for us every week. In a way, it makes the town and the people seem even more real, despite being, you know, fictional. Love the fact that it's oh-so-Moonlighting, and that in the extended scene on the DVD, they totally acknowledge it. Hee!

Maggie: He's [Fleischman] breaking the fourth wall!
Marilyn: Moonlighting did it.
Maggie: Yeah, and look what happened to them!
Shelly: No, no, no, no. They folded because of the David/Maddie thing. How long do you think they're going to put up with the unresolved sexual tension between you two? I mean, at least Holling and I get it on.

I got such a kick out of the extended version of this. Not to mention the line in my icon; Shelly responding to Ruth-Anne's suggestion that they go with the fifth draft, where Nikolai suddenly gets a tooth abscess and they call off the duel, with "Glib and textually unwarranted" cracks me up every time.

And then Maggie and Joel discuss stepping out of character in the next scene. Golden.

Ah, metafiction.
