laura benanti – intro: my favorite thing that ever happened to me… (live) lyrics

(spoken)
so, one of the other sort of weird things that i was into as a kid was black and white movies. that goes over really big at a sleepover. (audience laughs.) right?! “who wants to watch ben-hur?! n-body? cool.” but my favorite movie of all time was a movie called some like it hot. (audience cheers.) yeah! right? such a good movie. and marilyn- first of all, can you see anything that you shouldn’t be able to see? (audience laughs.) thank you. i mean, it’s not like you guys are gonna shout out and tell me. gotta ask. (audience laughs.) so, there’s a scene… sorry, are you- did i embarr-ss you? i’m sorry. (audience member responds.) you’re a gynecology?! (audience laughs and applauds.) do you have like 45 minutes? ’cause i- i’ve been meaning to go. (audience laughs.) this is my favorite thing that has ever happened to me. (audience laughs.) oh man. goodness. what’s your name? (audience member responds.) wait, what is it? candy. this is going on the alb-m. it’s just gonna be this in a loop for an hour. (audience laughs.) oh my god, you guys. that’s… that’s the greatest thing that’s ever happened. oh man, candy. okay. i gotta focus. (audience laughs.) where are we? what year is it? i’m so sorry. (audience laughs.) oh, i just snorted. i just snorted right into the microphone. (audience laughs.) oh. okay. okay. uh. okay. so, my favorite movie was some like it hot. and there’s a scene in it in which marilyn monroe plays the ukulele. and i remember thinking, as a kid, “that woman is so beautiful and so s-xy. one day, i’m gonna be beautiful and s-xy like her. i’m gonna play the ukulele.” (audience laughs.)
