0:51.0 | I, I, I, because I usually if we do a musical, I try to butcher one of the songs. Oh, sure. Well, I couldn't do. I couldn't do justice to what I think are. |
0:59.0 | Rememberable is these. Yes, I would use what you think are what? This is what's wild. I will admit this is a movie. I watch a lot of the child. So the songs are just baked into my skull. |
