Heh, I figured it was Sondheim. (For posterity: "The rain may rust your armor, your straps may be too tight, but decapitate a farmer and your heart feels light.")

...And now I'm earwormed with "War Is A Science" (from Pippin, which is not Sondheim, but still one of my favorite shows).

Pippin is always on topic in the Angel thread, since the only time I saw this was the video starring John Rubenstein! When I saw him on Angel playing Holland Manners' replacement (what was his name?), it freaked me out to see how he had aged from that honkey-afro-wearing guy.

What, really?

Oh, my goodness. I'm going to have to break out my DVDs.

Also, I feel like Ben Vereen should never be off-topic.

I was listening to my Simon and Garfunkel boxed set last night, and their cover of "Bye Bye Love" came on. I was immediately reminded of the version of that song in All That Jazz, sung by Vereen ("Folks, let me lay on you a so-so entertainer, not much of a humanitarian, and this cat was never nobody's friend.") and Roy Scheider.

Love that movie.

Ben Vereen is on-topic in this thread b/c of Sweet's amazing similarity to Ben Vereen in OMWF.

Dana, I was sure that you were rolling with laughter back in Season 4 when they gave Rubenstein that "my corner of the sky" line.

I was saying how could he be off topic, and do agree with the Sweet comparison.

I kept hoping in season 6 or 7, that they'd bring back Hinton Battle as a different demon, and Buffy would keep wondering if she knew him from somewhere.

It's entirely possible that I was, and have just forgotten. In fact, it's possible that I've had this moment of WTF? several times before. I am my own time loop.
