I had a dream I got to meet ALW in person and interview him

I dreamt that every few weeks my family and I would take a trip to a different part of the state (which is weird cause ALW is British) and there was this spot that I would like to go to, and that ALW would also sometimes go there! He even had a fancy collection of dinosaur bones that I would climb on (rude). Well, one day, I'm invited into his house by one of his butlers and when I meet him I interview him! He lets me record it, but only the audio.

I asked him who his inspirations were and he couldn't answer it. "All of them" or "none of them" or something like that. I asked him if he ever wanted to write lyrics, and he told me "oh I'm actually really good at writing lyrics! I always write lyrics to my tunes before the lyricist replaces them with their own stuff!"

Flocabulary 8 Times Table Rap [partially lost]

I know Flocabulary (the educational rap animation site) is infamous for deleting and updating their raps, and I often go searching online for this video, which I‘ve never been able to find. The beat had an epic piano part (7 fast notes) and the opening line was something like “hey kid do ya know about your eights?” “Yeah I know about my eights, and I feel great!” “Well, I bet I know my eights better than you” etc.

I was in first or second grade when I watched this, so that would’ve been about 10 years ago. I‘d be super grateful if anyone could find it!

ALW musical general vote results!

Two weeks ago I posted a vote where instead of putting two musicals up against each other, you got to rank all of them on a scale of 1-5, and here are the results!

Jesus Christ Superstar: 4.8 (13 votes)

Phantom of the Opera: 4.5 (13 votes)

Evita: 4.4 (13 votes)

Sunset Boulevard: 4.3 (12 votes)

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat: 4.0 (13 votes)

Cats: 3.6 (13 votes)

Starlight Express: 3.5 (12 votes)

School of Rock: 3.4 (10 votes)

Tell Me on a Sunday: 3.3 (12 votes)

Love Never Dies: 3.2 (13 votes)

The Woman in White: 3.1 (12 votes)

Aspects of Love: 3.0 (10 votes)

Whistle Down the Wind: 3.0 (10 votes)

By Jeeves: 2.8 (10 votes)

Wizard of Oz: 2.2 (9 votes)

Stephen Ward: 2.1 (8 votes)

Jeeves: 2.0 (8 votes)

The Likes of Us: 2.0 (6 votes)

Bad Cinderella: 1.8 (9 votes)

The Beautiful Game: 1.6 (8 votes)

Fun fact: I was the only person to vote Phantom as a 1 (sorry)

Note: There was one person who just doesn't like ALW for some reason and only voted from 1-4, and another person that, unless their favorite ALWs are The Beautiful Game and Bad Cinderella and they really hate Phantom and JCS*, I'm assuming they've put in their answers backwards.*

A few interesting notes about these results: The Beautiful Game and The Likes of Us are the only musicals not to have any votes. Phantom is currently in the lead with 9, and Stephen Ward is tied with School of Rock, which is really surprising to me. Round 2 will begin tomorrow!
