Does Posting about It Really Eliminate a Song Virus?

Maybe. Maybe even linking to the video for it will get rid of the video fever.

But, my God. (Ha! Literally.) I can't put either of these out of my head.

Below is the video for "We Beseech Thee" from the 1973 film of Godspell, which was actually cut. No, you're not going to get why I respond like this. Just understand that so much of this hits me

Sometimes it helps to eliminate it.

I thought it would sound less poppy but given the period in which it debuted and such.

oh, but if you don't get that one, you will get this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9viyJB8a7GQ (never mind the Portuguese subtitles, but they add a nice touch).

And, of course, I trust you to look beyond the obvious religious symbolism to the .... other kind. But you always do so well at that.

Oh, I certainly did and it was...well. You know. Wow.

I don't know if the person who put together the video omitted it or whether it's just not there in the movie version, but in the Broadway soundtrack the proselytes are originally called by the shofar before the guy begins singing. Which would also have been a nice touch.

The movie is in the household Netflix queue, but I may have to watch by myself so as not to react overly.
