The Book of Mormon

Today I'm in a musical mood (Because let's love mood swings from crying for scary future to dancing along cheesy musicals).
First off I started singing Phantom of The Opera... and almost sounding alright.
Then listening to incredible Les Mis chorus harmonies (that's the only thing I really like about LesMis.. Well, the chorus harmonies and Eponine..)

And now, I'm listening to The Book of Mormon. I've long know the musical exists  And I've probably listened to songs from it before, but a looong while ago. But now I'm listening to it while in the mood (which changes everything, obviously..)
It's sooo funny. I'm usually quite.. indifferent to religion. I don't think I believe in anything, I don't care if people believe in Someone/Something. As long as they keep it to themselves. Mormons are the most common reason for me to get annoyed about religion. You know how they go around cities, randomly starting a conversation with you or knocking on your door and just suddenly appearing in your living room (my dad let them in. WHY dad, WHY?!)
But well, this musical. Firstly, I relise it is probably REALLY offensive to Mormons and other religious people (I mean, sure mormons go around preaching, but so do other religious groups..) and it's really pointing out how silly it all is. But then it has the cheesiest harmonies and music solutions and what not... It's like a text book musical style. And I feel that it's mocking musicals too.. (I'm listening to it and all I want to do is tap dance and throw my legs one way and another, and do jazz-hands :P )
But it's soo freaking funny in a very inappropriate way. And another day I would really hate it all with all its cheesiness but today is the day I really appreciate it.

And all the modern cultural references, hehehe, have I told you that I love references. :D Yes, okay, I don't really have much to say about it.
