o_O Is that a joke? The Siamese children were the sons and daughters of the king of Siam... it was the song when they all introduced themselves...

I'd like to know that too, little-miss-chocolate

And oh wow, that would be a beautiful wedding march song. Just entering on the same part the Prince does.

Def my favourite part of the film.. music wise.
That part makes me catch my breath everytime.

O my God...

Waterhouse wonders what his reaction was. Did he grow fangs? Drool into his coffee?

I keep hearing the music they used in this scene, but it isn't from Rodgers & Hammerstein...could they have used someone else's music for that?

What a great choice for a wedding march! This is, hands down, my favorite piece of music in the show.

Mine too :)

There was a King and I revival on West End a few years back, for which they reorchestrated the entire score for traditional Thai instruments. It sounds absolutely AMAZING, look for the CD. Here's a link, maybe you can find it at a library or something
