One of many parodies from MAD Magazine.

While we wait to see whether the 4k disc is a winner or not, there's this, which I discovered literally right now:

The last Eliza of the original Broadway run was an American woman named Margot Moser who was still alive as of 2018.

I thought the only line that was hers in the latter song was "sleep, sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight."

The practice of using separate singers in animated musicals continued into the 1990s when she did the musical parts for Grandma Fa in Mulan, for whom June Foray did the speaking voice. I remember something like this happening 10 years ago. The old Blu-ray that used the same source for the DVD...
