Cell Block Tango

A prison tango brought to you from the women's block in the Cook County Jail! The song is from the song repertoire of 'Chicago', a musical vaudeville set in the 1920s Chicago. The featured video is from the 2002 film rendition of the musical, but you may very well enjoy also (or instead) the gay version performed by the Gay Men Chorus of Los Angeles.
I give you then - Velma! The Other murderesses! And - all that... jazz! 

Time wand

2009 certainly had a go at me.
I wish... that my future makes it possible to go back to 2009 and make things right again. And I certainly wish that no such time interventions will be wanted for 2010.
So bring it on, 2010.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.

These lines, and above video, are from Lorez Alexandria's take on Send In The Clowns (1977), a jazz standard written by Stephen Sondheim for the 1973 musical A Little Night Music. For complete lyrics (they are excellent) press here.

Tevye

The unsurpassable Samuel Joel Zero Mostel, performing If I Were A Rich Man as Tevye and reasoning with God in the Fiddler on the Roof, a musical that began showing in 1964 in the Imperial Theatre on Broadway.
And indeed, the unreasonable God who made the lion and who made the lamb:
Would it spoil some vast eternal plan,
if I were a wealthy man?
