Those harmonies at the end still give me goose bumps, even after 30 years of listening to this song.

Back then when cassette tapes were still a thing, I had this song on repeat along with other Andrew Lloyd Webber classics.

This has a very Disney vibe to it. I write this as I stand in line to clock in for my job at EPCOT lol!

I wasn't too sure about this song at first, but it's grown on me a lot now

What a beautiful song - this was always my favourite and I never felt it got the recognition it deserved. Keep liking!

Same here. I love many of this Musical's songs, but this is the one I listen to, on loop, for hours.

about time pearl! she finally realises? rusty is the one for her.

I love how this song ends with that note at the end! So fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like The Bee Gees songHow deep is your love.

I could listen to it over and over again.love his voice

My absolute favorite Broadway show! I was fortunate enough to see a live show and it was absolutely amazing. I grew up as kid listening to the cd and sing the songs

eins meiner Lieblingssongs von der Londoner Version 😍🥰

I guess his casting type is just "aggressively bisexual humanoid that everyone else is attracted to"

Adam Lake and Lloyd Davis who played Electra in Bochum had both been playing Rum Tum Tummer before as well.

Hermosa melodia

my favorite song, ever!

The Ballad of Billy McCaw meets Starlight Express

LOVE THIS SONG!!! AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING:):):)

Poppa = Old deuteromony, Greaseball = Tugger, Rusty = Grizabella,Electra = camp Misto. Red CStarlight Express = Heavyside Layer. The layout for the end of Pumping Iron is pretty simular to 'Rum Tum Tugger'. Then the reference from Joseph is the megamix (or the other way around...I can't remember when Joseph started) which is also at the end of Starlight. I've seen the UK tour, seeing as that it is where I live, so it could well be different for the World Tour! It was fun noting the refs from it!

it sounds so 80s it's surreal

I love this song! Shame it got replaced in one of the shows! Reva and greg are great singers and this is a fab song and powerful! best musical song!

this is the London cast from 1992 with Greg Ellis as Rusty and Reva Rice as Pearl...;)

Thats right it is is Greg Ellis and Reva Rice

I love Reva Rice and Greg Ellis.

My favourite song, from Starlight Express. I'm sure Murray Wiggle would have loved to listen to it, one Wiggle Night.

we know the saying if it aint broke why fix it I mean why on earth did this classic get cut wow

My favourite love song ever

i love this sing~

Still loving it in 2018

hi :) yeh i went to see it on the 3rd november and i realized then it had been replaced :) the new song "I do" was really good!!!! the whole show was amazing, im so glad i went to see it :D

Ahh right :) im going to see it in november so i will soon find out :) looking forward to it!!

This is a really nice song but i do prefer "I Do" which is the song that replaced it on the 2012 tour

No they don't sing this song. I've just been to see it. This song has been replaced by a song composed by Andrew LLoyd Webbers' son Alastair LLoyd Webber, it' called "I Do". Don't worry the show is still amazing even with all the changes :)

I saw the 2012 tour, and I did see a lot of references from CATS

Gesehen in London im Victoria Theater. Traumhaft, unvergessen.

This song wasnt in the original and wasnt produced by Really Useful Group as I have bough the CD of the new Starlight Express and it says it. The original songs were released in 1984 and this was in 1993

you are correct. the tune originates from the Original London Cast of CATS (it was heard during "Growltiger's Last Stand" as a song called "the Ballad Of Billy McCaw"

Danny is correct. Andrew Lloyd Webber made several changes to the original production of Starlight Express in 1993 and rebranded it. This song has its roots in the song from Cats which was cut and replace with the operatic parody in Growltiger. ALW is famous for recycling his tunes

ANDREW HOLTON and when Growltiger was cut from the Broadway revival, I heard they took the tune from "Growltiger" and ended up using it for Pekes & Pollicles which was moved to Act II where Growltiger used to be

i went to see it and i dont recognize but im not sure?

I know the german interpretation of the song very well. But I totally prefere the English one!

I know this song was taken out of the musical but does anyone know if they sing this at the 2012 tour?

who is it that sings this album (which cast)?

really? in starlight there were references to cats? well world tour. what kind?

The intro rips off The Bee Gees song ''How Deep Is Your Love''. They're exactly the same. Complete and total plagiarism.
