Batman: The Musical: Difference between revisions

* [[Cut Song]]: Per usual for a Steinman production, it's made mostly of these, though with the exception of "Angels Arise" it's more fragments of trunk songs than the full things. "Graveyard Shift" includes bits of "Edging Into Darkness" from Steinman's 1970s musical version of ''[[The Confidence Man]]'' and "Nowhere Fast" from ''[[Streets of Fire]]'', but also developed out of the original idea for Magda's solo in ''[[Tanz der Vampire]]'' (including the line about "the parents that I buried when I was just a child") before it was replaced by "[[Death Is Such an Odd Thing]]".

** The chorus of Catwoman's song ("And I need all the love I can get/And I need all the love that I can't get to") is more complicated: it appeared in Steinman's MTV rock opera version of ''[[Wuthering Heights (novel)|Wuthering Heights]]'' through a cover of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDuW3NvjqJY "More"] by [[The Sisters of Mercy]] (a band he'd previously worked with as a [[Record Producer]]; "More" itself was co-written and co-produced by him and Andrew Eldritch), and Steinman borrowed not only part of "More"'s chorus, but also its guitar riff. (Talk about [[Self-Plagiarism]]...)

* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Literally. And apparently without them knowing each other's identities in ''civilian'' life rather than in costume.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: "Come midnight's midnight/When the dark entwines with darkness..."
