Snuff That Girl

Album: Urinetown (2001)

Songfacts®:

  • This delightfully titled song is from the equally delightfully titled musical Urinetown. It is probably no coincidence that it opened in 2001, the same year Mary Whitehouse - one half of "Mary Long" - departed this Earth. It would surely have given her a heart attack.
  • The girl who is about to be snuffed is called Hope; as the song is performed by her kidnappers, she is sitting bound and gagged in a chair. Fortunately, she lives up to her name, and is spared.

    The song as the rest of the musical has music by Mark Hollmann, and lyrics by him and Greg Cotis. >>
