Great episode tonight, and a fairly complete parody of the famous bits
of My Fair Lady, the Broadway musical that originally starred Julie
Andrews and Rex Harrison. Based on Pygmalion, the play has Professor
Henry Higgins (Lisa) making a bet with Colonel Hugh Pickering (Bart) to
turn Eliza Doolittle (Willie), a cockney flower girl, into a lady. This
has been previously mentioned in "The Sweetest Apu" (DABF14), where he
must put on an all octuplet cast of My Fair Lady. Also, in "The Great
Louse Detective" (EABF01) Sideshow Bob sings "I've Grown Accustomed To
His Face," a parody of "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face."
All the song Parodies:
Wouldn't It Be Adequate: "Wouldn't It Be Love(r)ly"
What Flows from my Nose: "The Rain in Spain"
I Could Stand Up All Night: "I Could Have Danced all Night"
The Shack Where I Lived: "On The Street Where You Live"
I'm Getting Blue Pants: "Get Me To The Church" (I'm Getting Married)
There was also a little of The "Ascot Gavotte" in the Entr'acte to the
Science fair.

Some Corrections:
I think it might have been the "Embassy Waltz" and not the "Ascot
Gavotte." The former is a little more famous, and therefore more likely
to be featured. And also, it was I Could Be Indoors All Night, not I
could Stand Up All Night (Don't know what I was thinking there). Also I
should add that The the musical had a book, lyrics, and music by Lerner
and Loewe. I think that's all.

And Lerner and Loewe also wrote PAINT YOUR WAGON, which was spoofed in
episode 5F24.

I swear its the last time I'm replying to my own thread. Okay. The only
other interesting thing I noticed for the episode was that when Willie's
father was yelling at him after being born, he was on the pool table
that he was "conceived, born, and educated" on.
