People, I have been watching too much CATS.  Ugh, I can tell you about the variations in the song Mungojerry and Rumpleteazer between the OLC, OBC, and the film version.  Also, if anyone was not aware Andrew Lloyd Webber is extremely fickle and changes his mind all the time.

And yet all of his songs tend to sound exactly the same~ hehehe

No, I never realized that at all. Especially with the Ballad of Billy McCaw.

Or to move away from CATS, the various canon versions of Think Of Me in existance....

I wish I had access to the OLC CATS.... *o*

...also, I should not want to burst out into Of The Aweful Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles Together With Some Account of the Participation of the Pugs and the Poms and the Intervention of the Great Rumpus Cat right now....
(Though I do wish it were on more recordings... and not cut as often from the stageshow....)

PS: WAS there a "new number written for the movie" at all? I keep on trying to compare with different versions and the above song seems to be the only thing I can come up with that's not in most RECORDINGS, but I have photographic evidence (http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Cats-Book-Musical-T-S-Eliot/9780156155823-item.html) that the song is nothing new.
...and why did they leave out Growltiger's Last Stand? It's a lovely number.... (Timothy Scott singing in that song makes me very happy......)

*stops fangirling*

<3 CATS.

I watched way too much of that in high school. My sister and I named two of our cats Skimbleshanks and Rumpleteazer. *facepalm*
