Talk:Tied to the Tracks

Untitled
Tied to the Tracks is a very old stage play that introduced the concept (at least in popular culture) of tying a damsel to a a railroad track to kill her.
 * "Tied to the Tracks will leave you tied up in knots... of laughter!  This action-packed old time musical western melodrama could be the most tuneful and wildest ever to hit your stage.  Join stalwart Sheriff Billy Bold and the delicate Dakota Melody as they resist the evil machinations of Silias Scavenger and Wild Prairie Rose in this shoot-’em-up, round-’em-up extravaganza.  Your audience will be hitched to their seats as they are powerless in helping our beloved heroine, bound to a railway track, as she helplessly watches a locomotive race towards her.  Only one man can snatch her from this unworthy fate and bring justice to a thriving territory.  Simple to rehearse and easy to produce, this wacky, one-set show boasts ten original show tunes, including "A Rose With Plenty of Thorns," "We’re the Harvey Girls," "He’s a Meany, He’s a Nasty, He’s a Grouch" and "Knock Him Down Again, Sheriff Billy.""

The play itself dates back to around 1880 (excelt dates vary). (It's actually not that good, very much LOW drama/bad comedy.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.5.249.85 (talk) 20:38, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
