Song of the Pharaoh

Well, I'm still working it out.  But I wanted to share your inspirational videos for Friday.

We will be doing the Song of the Pharaoh and its Reprise.  The first time it's a simple rock n' roll dance.  The puppets show us the dream, Pharaoh is hamming up his singing, and the remainder are doing classic 50s dance moves.  Sort of like these dances only much, much calmer.

From Grease, skip to 2:35


From Hairspray (about a minute in it gets going)


(Yikes.  I inadvertently gave you a young and old Travolta.)

 
On the Reprise, we ditch the puppet show and go "Full Vegas."  We will use the stairs and roll out a Nile river.  The cows and corn are showgirls and the rest of you will have fabulous headdresses.

Finding a good Las Vegas showgirl with her top on was difficult (please don't try).  Here's my best attempt to piece together videos of what we are doing.

The original showgirls, the Gold Diggers, with Ginger Rogers singing.



From The Producers, here's a parody that's more in our direction.  Of course not in bikinis.  And missing the gorgeous John Barrowman. Takes 45 seconds to get going.


But don't forget we're doing Elvis here, so add a little of this:


Hoo boy.  We'll see how this goes.
