[Sung by a large pair of blood-red lips]

Oh, Ben Barker was fine, his life seemed just divine
With his Lucy hand in hand
But Judge Turpin was there, he liked to sneak and stare
Like some pervert Invisible Man
Then something went wrong
And you know, before long,
Poor old Ben found himself in a jam:
But he came back to that place,
Pale makeup on his face,
And this is how the story ran:

Violence Fiction,
Tragic story
Sweeney’s vengeance

my version of 'the worst pies in London' with new lyrics.:)

posted by NellLovetCarter

Wait! Don't you go, don't you hurry. I almost didn't see you come, can'tcha sit, sit you down SIT! All I meant is that the customers keep coming in, did you come here for a pie, sir? Do forgive me if this place is such a mess. But you can't imagine all the stress!
All the people crowding in, I just have no time, sir! And there's always someone wanting some more pies! Right you are sir, would you like the gin with some more ice?
Mind you I can hardly blame them. There are probably the best pies in London! I know why everybody loves them, I know it, I make them. And good? Yes! The best pies in...

Sweeney Todd marries Nellie Lovett.

posted by coconutcrazy

After Nellie's dramatic explanation of why she didn't tell him his wife had lived, poor, miserable Sweeney decided that he needed someone to fill his empty heart, even if she was insane. They danced, sang, moved away, and lived happily in a sick, twisted way. Sweeney Todd was never the same, but he was a bit happier with Nellie by his side. They had two children, 2 dogs, and a cat. the whole family lived together until their children went to college. then, Nellie ans Sweeney died at the same age, 102.

GREEN PIES AND HAM

Sweeney: That Judge must die!
That Judge must die!
I really think
that Judge must die!

Mrs. Lovett: Would you like
a nice meat pie?

Sweeney: I do not want
your awful pie,
I have to get
the Judge to die!

Mrs. Lovett: Would you like one
by the sea?

Sweeney: I would not like one
by the sea.
Now, please, strange woman,
leave me be!
I do not like
your lousy pie.
Now let me plot:
The Judge must die!

Mrs. Lovett: Would you live
above my shop?
I kept your razors
and your strop!

Sweeney: All right. I'll live
above your shop.
I'll use my razors
and my strop.
I'll slit their throats,
then they will die.
We'll turn my patrons
Into pie!

Dispelling distorted character interpretations: Sweeney Todd

posted by MasterOfFear

First of all:
Enough of all this blaming judge Turpin on every single bad thing that ever happened!

The man has become something of the big bad wolf around here, the worlds biggest scapegoat!
I know, i know. He desired a pretty woman, used his authority to falsley imprisoned her husband to get him out of the way, and than assaulted her in a room fool of other rich people that found the whole thing to be a great big laugh.
I am not at all saying that what he did was not wrong, i'd be a complete fool to ever think such a thing, nor am i justifying his actions in any way, but just let me explain something....

Turning Back theHands of Time part1

posted by Lenzetta-Lovett

Turning Back the Hands of Time
Only one small candle illuminated the room as the barber pressed upon the peddle of his chair, dropping his last “customer” to the bakehouse below him. Today had been rather rough. The crowds came in larger groups than they had during the previous days of the week. His neck ached and his arms fell limp as he sat down for a moment in his chair. He sighed deeply as the pain in his neck increased. London seemed to be the same every time night crept in. Only the low life would come out at night either drunk or in search of food. The barber’s...

I have sailed the world

Detailed Sweeney Todd Costume Breakdown

posted by SweeneyTodd2010

This is for anyone who plans on cosplaying from Sweeney Todd.
This particular costume breakdown is for the Demon Barber himself.

I have been cosplaying Sweeney Todd for 3 years now, and have put in a great deal of time researching and looking at pictures of the Sweeney Todd costume. So I thought I would share a bit of what I know.

First we will start out with general items, before I get into smaller details. As you will see in the picture next to this paragraph, you will notice some key items that Sweeney Todd has. If you are going to put together a Sweeney Todd costume, you should at least...

If Gilbert and Sullivan had written Sweeney Todd...

posted by slytherin360

found this on IMDB!

I am the very model of a psychopath tonsorial,
My story is a lesson, yes it’s quite a grim tutorial,
I’m most obsessed with vengeance ‘til it borders on maniacal,
Transforming me from mild soul to something demoniacal;
I'm very well acquainted too with matters anatomical,
I think a severed jugular leads to results quite comical,
I plot revenge against the Judge who jailed me most wrongfully—
And while I wield my razors I spew lyrics out most songfully!

I travelled back to England with a sailor who sings sappily,
You may not know the story, but can guess it won’t...

Mad for Musicals Review- Sweeney Todd (2007 Burton Film)

posted by LittleLottie

So Sweeney Todd, Hannibal Lector, and Titus Andronicus all walk into a bar.
Okay, so starting a review with a joke might not be the best idea. But never the less, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is considered the first “Musical thriller.” It is one of composer Stephen Sondheim’s most well-known pieces of music and has won a ton of awards and there are productions and tours everywhere…you get the drill. It is personally one of my favorite musicals (in the top ten) and like Phantom I was hesitant to review this film, but gathered my courage and went ahead. The film is actually...

Sweeney Todd Alternate Ending: The Harry Potter Ending

posted by KateKicksAss

Anthony brings Johanna to Sweeney’s to hide her while he goes to get them a coach.

Unable to locate Sweeney in his room, Toby offers to show them down to the Bakehouse, where he last saw Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett. They go down the stairs, just in time to see Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett preparing to dispose of the bodies of the beggar woman, Judge Turpin, and Beadle.

Trying to stop them from running to the law, Sweeney shoves Toby into a corner, where he crumples and doesn’t get up. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lovett has attacked the unsuspecting Anthony, and has her hands around his throat.

Sweeney Todd & Johanna's Reunion Song

posted by bellatrix97

It's to the tune of what Depp sings in Johanna(Reprise), and Anthony is not in it. Or the crazy beggar woman. Hope you enjoy it xx

Yes, you are beautiful and pale,
with yellow hair,
like her.
I wanted you beautiful and pale,
with yellow hair,
and you were
Johanna

And you are beautiful, what then,
with yellow hair,
like wheat.
And we have met again,
My little dove,
My sweet,
Johanna

Hello, Johanna!
You're here, and again your mine!
I'm fine, Johanna!
I'm fine!

And now I shall hear your voice,
my turtle dove,
my dear,
I still have reason to rejoice,
The way ahead is clear
Johanna

I was in darkness,
I was blind, with...

This is probably going to be the shortest article ever but hey if its concerning Johnny im sure that'll make up for the space!
So i've started considering Sweeney Todd/Johnny Depp slang such as OMJ (Oh my Johnny) and Who gives a todd and Deppinately and so on......But i was wondering if it would be popular? what do ye think?
I am Obsessed with Johnny so i decided to do this I would have put this in a pick but i think this is a lot more personal.

wikipedia's definition of sweeney todd

posted by claire-aka-bob

Sweeney Todd is a villain appearing in various English language works starting in the mid-19th century as a barber and an early example of a serial killer. His weapon is a straight razor (or cut-throat razor in British English), with which he slits his victims' throats. In some versions of the story Mrs. Lovett, who is his partner in crime and variously his friend or lover (and whose first name is variously Marjorie, Sarah, Nellie, Shirley or Claudette) hides the crimes by butchering the corpses of Todd's victims, baking their flesh into meat pies, and selling them to unknowing customers. He...

not while i'm around

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling,
I don't care, I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you,
No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

Not to worry, not to worry
I may not be smart but I ain't dumb
I can do it, put me to it
Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry, Mum

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to,
I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare
Others can desert you,
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!
Demons'll charm you with a smile, for a while
But in time...
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around...

How I found out about Sweeney Todd

posted by Kingdom_Hearts7

Well,it was around Christmas before the DVD came out and I was watcing Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix with my family,and we were on the part when Harry and the rest of the people go in the misistry. Then we got on the part when Bellatrix comes out. So I ask my mom "Hey mom,who is that?" She told me that it was Bellatrix Lestrange. (I know this doesn't sound like Sweeney Todd yet,but it will get there,trust me!) So I said "Cool,who plays her?" So my mom told me, "I'm not sure,go look it up on the imdb." So I did,I saw that she was played by Helena Bonham Carter. (This is when the...
