Song of the Day: Nothing Ever Happens On Mars from Waiting For Guffman


Today’s song of the day could probably double for a scene that I love but that’s okay.  I’ve always loved the Nothing Ever Happens On Mars song from Waiting to Guffman.

(Mars?  “Where’s that!?”)

It’s such a marvelous scene.  Yes, it captures the absurdity of regional theater but it also captures the underlying sweetness of it as well.  We may laugh but it’s still hard not to be touched by how much the members of the audience love it.

And, in the contest of the show, it’s a nice reminder that we’re not that different.  Martians get bored with their hometown as well!
