Schmigadoon 2, Too
Following up on yesterday, this is another standout parody song from season two of Schmigadoon! on Apple TV+, which is known as Schmicago.
The song is "Bells and Whistles" performed by Jane Krakowski, as a Billy Flynn-like lawyer, doing her stuff to get Keegan-Michael Key off, after he's wrongly arrested for murder. The song is a parody of "Razzle Dazzle" from Chicago. But what makes this so special, is that it's actually about four parodies in the one song -- not just of "Razzle Dazzle," but also "I'm Not Getting Married" (from Stephen Sondheim's Company), "He Reached for the Gun" (also from Chicago) and a choreography parody of "Hot Honey Rag" from Chicago. All that, and an hilarious extravaganza production number that's it's almost circus-like.
As before, I suggest making the video full screen, because there's a lot going on in the number...
