You know that not all of the names in "Tschaikovsky (and other Russians)" are actually Russian, right? (namely Maliszewski, Moniuszko, Godowski and Dukelsky, the former three of whom are Polish). They happened to be born within the borders of the Russian Empire, yes, but weren't Russians themselves. Do your research, MsMojo.

@SilviaLopez-eg9wh 6 месяцев назад

Probably (and I'm not justifying them just trying to find an explanation) it's because the super fast part of Guns and Ships is just a small part of the song and not the whole of it, like most of the others. There are a couple in the honorable mentions that are faster than the top 10, though hahaha

I was one of the cast mates who was most familiar with the music, so I could fill in for anyone missing.

@rachelpellom4095 6 месяцев назад

i think because it's sung by multiple people, it doesn't count. i'ts not as difficult to sing when you sing an individual part. andrew rannells, however sung all parts in a performance which demonstrates it's speed and difficulty as a song sung by one person. much like guns and ships, parts of the song sung by individuals are fast, but the song as a whole unlike something like getting married which is constant and consistent song sung by one person.

Madeline Kahn's is the ABSOLUTE definitive version of Not Getting Married. Her diction, breath control, everything is beyond perfect. Everyone else who has tried can't come close to the way she nailed that song. She made it look completely effortless, whereas the woman who was shown first had to take a breath pretty quickly. Meanwhile Madeline just breezes her way through, then easily hits a high note at the very end like it was nothing. Perfection. (also, as someone who absolutely adores Madeline, I just wanna throw in a "screw Danny Kaye" in there)

"Worst Pies in London" from Sweeney Todd, "The Witch's Rap" from Into the Woods, "Now" from A Little Night Music. Sondheim wrote a lot of them. As for Gilbert & Sullivan, "The Nightmare Song" from Iolanthe is a real tongue twister.

@authorguy5696 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely, but not a fast one. I think it trades off the speed for the complexity of the words. I was surprised to hear the music played at the right tempo to find out how slow it is. I tend to sing it faster but I'm not performing to a crowd that needs to hear the words.

As someone who played Professor Harold Hill in a high school performance of The Music Man, I have to go with not only Ya Got Trouble, but the other fast paced song of his, 76 Trombones. It was pretty difficult keeping up with remembering the words, and leading all those marching band performers that were blasting a John Philip Sousa song behind me.

@What_Makes_Climate_Tick 6 месяцев назад

The opening number of The Music Man, Rock Island, is spoken, so it's more of a Broadway rap, but it also goes at breakneck speed in the middle, while starting and ending slow. The Uneeda biscuit, uneeda, uneeda, in an air-tight sanitary package made the cracker barrel obsolete, obsolete.

@alecljames 6 месяцев назад

when it hit #2 without an appearance from "getting married today", i knew it had to be number one. like, i could see it coming in second or third at the lowest but that song is just too fast and too *constant* to not qualify. technically, "guns and ships" has a faster rate, but those are only short bursts. whereas "getting married today" is a marathon, down to the amount of breath control required. honestly, i don't think i've really seen a bad version of that song. even the high school production i saw, it and "another hundred people" were still showstoppers. but madeline kahn, katie finneran, carol burnett, julie andrews, darren criss, *heather laws* from the 2006 revival... they're all incredible in their own ways.

An interesting list. I love patter songs so I will simply have to give some of these a try. I would have thought the Matter Patter was faster than the Major General's Song. The Russian Composer's song reminds me of The Recipe for a Heavy Dragoon from Gilbert & Sullivan's musical Patience. There's more to the song than just the speed, though, it's the way the words fit together. In the Major General's Song they flow like water, but some songs where the music is slower the words don't flow, so the song is actually harder.
