"What If"

Now there's a song that's only sad given the context.

"What if" is a song from the Addams Family Musical, where Pugsley sings about how sad he is that his sister, Wednesday is dating (getting married to?) a normal kid. Okay, so this sounds like any normal younger sibling's reaction to the changes in his or her family, right?

Well, the first line of the song goes something along the lines of "What if she never tortures me again?"

Now that does not sound so normal...

However, in the context of the Addams family this reaction is perfectly normal- the "princess of darkness" is dating a normal boy, and has started to act like a normal girl.

I have not seen this musical yet, but I will most likely be seeing it this winter, and I will post a review of it afterwards!
