I am the type of person that gets songs stuck in their head all the time. If it isn't something from 'A Mighty Wind', it's this. I LOVE this song.

Co-Op is such an underrated and underdone musical from that era. When Broadway reopens next year I hope someone does a revival! It’s long overdue.

Agreed. It's criminal that this fantastic show only had one performance.

I heard the reason that it hasn't been staged in so long is because John Mulaney is trying to cover up the fact that he's immortal.

So strange to see her in Altered Carbon where pretty well none of her talents are put to use.

It's a bureaucratic apartment co-op board fantasy fulfillment song

The look on the woman's face when Renee says she has a meeting to be approved is the best part of this bit that no one is talking about. Right at around the 13-second mark. Pure gold!

I really felt that brown and beigey feeling she was expressing.

this would have been funny anyway but that they made the song objectively good is insane

She deserves another Tony just for this number

That last note she pulls ….. talent level ten million

She. Is PERFECT! and the composer almost out-Sondheims Sondheim.

I laugh hard every time I hear "and the brown and the beige", and I think of John Mulaney writing it thinking about so much brown and beige in the 70's aesthetic 🤣

They captured the essence of the original Company perfectly with the instrumentals and the structure of each song (little bits of dialogue beforehand to open it up) Brilliant!

Honestly I would watch this musical 💜

God, they got the original Company docu so good, even down to outfits and the color grading. Was this supposed to be a send up to Another Hundred People? I was 70% sure but the brown and the beige and the brown and the beige got me. Haha.

This made me curious, so I looked it up :) That part is from “Pretty Little Picture” from “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” This song also sends up "Multitudes of Amys” www.rogerebert.com/chazs-blog/the-oral-history-of-documentary-nows-co-op-episode

I find this song stuck in my head all the time. Renee is supremely talented!!! The whole cast killed it this episode

The composer for this show, Eli Bolin, definitely deserves to be credited in the description :)

This is still the best thing ever

I can listen to this all day. I want to see this play in real life.

ive watched so many times i lost count :)

Renee is amazing, talented, inspiring, and beautiful. Best song of the best episode. Thanks!

[Man]: Thanks for the lesson today, Ann! [Ann]: Be sure to ice that tennis elbow! Say, do you know where the co-op board meets? [Man]: In the multi-purpose room. Why? Are you lost? [Ann]: No. I have a meeting... to be approved! I'm a pro down at the bubble I teach tennis for my pay I don't mean your board much trouble But may I join this game of doubles? Can I play if I can pay? You'll have questions with some topspin And my answers may be lobs But if you serve then I will volley And we'll rally 'til it's folly And I'll earn 8K's key fob The world out there is made of only grass and clay Give me concrete, be a sport I can conquer on that court That apartment, my home court I can picture that studio Fitted out with my style A brown and beige kind of mood, you know And metro hex green tile A framed Navratilova Hanging just above the sofa And the brown and the beige And the brown and the beige And the brown There's a nude by Avedon Just above the toilet A naked guy with pubic hair and he's sort of... I won't spoil it The right erotic art Says I'm sexual but smart And the brown and the beige And the brown and the beige And the brown! I'm gonna make a life up there (and the brown and the beige, and the brown and the beige) With floor to ceiling teak (and the brown and the beige, and the brown and the beige) It's a palace of 500 square but it's Polynesian chic Don't think it's an insane wish that my chairs be winged and Danish And the brown and the beige And the brown and the beige And the brown!

With the brown and the beige And the brown and the beige And the brown (brown!)

interesting, in this song she talks about living in "8-K', but in the "Holliday Party" number, she's said to live in "12-G". I wonder what would have happened. lol. Doesn't matter anyway, because I love all these songs, and the way this "Doc. Now" ep. captures the vibe of the "Company" cast album documentary.

I love this

The dude in the red shirt lmao

Great in so many ways

This is the most genius song from the episode I think! For those who don't know, it's spoofing 'Another Hundred People' from Company. kzread.info/dash/bejne/YmuWycSij8q1Yrg.html

So dang good 👏👏👏👏

i dont need friends, they dissappoint me

My parents were fans, grew up listening to this soundtrack, but anyway, I’ve gotta go! I’ve gotta go!

We’re all just waiting for her to actually do another 100 people

Renee, that was amazing! We have to do it again. Quite frankly, it's too good. Yeah, this is Documentary Now, not Hamilton. You're at an 11, we need to bring you down to a six, seven and a half tops

Anyone know the name of the gentleman in the red shirt ??

Who is the guy? The captions say his character is Norman...

Realy is my favorite episodes...but perhaps tied with "Any Given Saturday Afternoon." I think Tim Robinson really nails the energy in this scene. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mX-FsbqScpXJlJs.html

Is the guy Mike Pettry or what? I've been looking at IMDB, and he seems to look the closest? Anyone know?

Hmm... it is almost as if this is a parody of Sondheim. But no... that couldn't possibly be the case.

I hate that this existed for over two years and I just now found out about it. So good. (The chorus is a nod to the cast of Hamilton, right?)
