In fact, the seemingly-random octopi comments were actually virtually filled with references to a certain musical (and one reference to another, but that's another story, never mind, anyway...) which I have now proven that NONE OF YOU NOTICED. None of you know your Evita! Sad, sad stuff, because Evita is excellent, really. ALW at his best. Of course, I'm not much of a fan of ALW, mostly because he's kind of a bitch (Sunset Boulevard drama, anyone? But of course, I take Patti's side.) but still, Evita is an awesome musical. So I filled some comments with references to the song titles. The only thing that was actually random was... well, the addition of octopi. There are no octopi in Evita. It might have been interesting if there were... but it was interesting anyway. But not the movie. Madonna couldn't even sing the score. They changed the keys! The Eva HAS to have a reeeally good high belt for Buenos Aires and A New Argentina. Patti did (even though she can't pronounce descamisados), Julie did (and her english accent is really hilarious on a character meant to be Argentinan, just like everyone else on the concept album), Madonna does *not.*
Here are all the references:
