TRIVIA: A SONG IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE (Thank to rockenferis2005)

New Orleans is Comin' to Me --- the music becomes 'The Future Ain't What it Used to Be' from Pandora's Box: Original Sin (1989).

Melville's Theme --- the music is all of the verses from 'It Just Won't Quit'. This song was not incluced in the the 2003 cast re-recording.

Edging into Darkness --- the music for the first section is 'Hear the Screams' from 'Dream Engine' which becomes the music for the second part of 'Bad for Good', and later 'Graveyard Shift' from 'Batman'. Music for the second section sounds like the chorus to 'Bat out of Hell'. The last section is the riff of 'Making Love out of Nothing at All'. Jim came up with that at Amherst.

Nocturnally Yours --- the music for the opening and all of the verses reappears in the film score for 'A Small Circle of Friends'.

Pain Humbles --- the middle section from "Master of the Earth" from 1973 "Rhinegold" musical contains music that appeared in 'The Hunt' as well as 'Pain Humbles' in 'The Confidence Man', 'Catwoman's Song' in 'Batman' and the second part of 'The Storm'.

Sanctimonious Sambo --- the intro sounds like 'I'm Gonna Love her for Both of Us' from Dead Ringer (1981).

Milady --- the music reappears in 'A Small Circle of Friends' and 'Tanz der Vampire' as 'For Sarah'. It was also used in an unreleased song Jim wrote called 'Vaults of Heaven' (which has the same title as a song from 'Whistle down the Wind'.)

Something of this Masquerade May Follow --- the intro music is the 'Dead Ringer' intro for 'More Than You Deserve', which is reused in 'The Future Ain't What it Used to Be'. The music for the choruses becomes the chorus for 'Braver Than We Are' (but only half of it.) That music was originally a song from Jim's score for a musical called 'Little Friend from Front Street' (I know very little about this one but Barry's mother was the director from memory).
