The song "It's a Privilege to Pee" is from a hilarious musical called URINETOWN. I had the privilege to see this musical in 2002 on Broadway. I'll always love the story and music from this show. I like to describe Urinetown as 'the cleanest dirty musical' I've ever seen.
If you're offended by the words 'pee' and 'poo' then you'll be disgusted by this musical. Other than those words, the show is clean and fun.
The story is about a society in the not-to-distant future where a water shortage has caused giant corporations to gain control of the water supply, in a sort of necessary form of regulation with monetary gain as a side-effect. The whole show is a goofy parody of capitalism and how giant, powerful politicians and corporations can control society.
The song I'm featuring today is from the first act of the musical and is sung by uncompromising toilet mistress Penelope Pennywise. She controls one of the toilets where people are forced to pay to use the restroom. Listen to this song, it's hilarious- also this singer rocks.
Dear friends, that's the end of today's post. Go enjoy the freedom you have of peeing without having to pay for it.
