Oh, Streetcar! is a strangely upbeat musical version of A Streetcar Named Desire. Taken from the Season 4 Episode "A Streetcar Named Marge". I do not own any content in this video.

I can never tell if the ending song is a deliberate misreading of the play and instead what people expect from a musical (night, chipper, cheerful), or if it's supposed to show how Blanche's mind has snapped and that this is the fantasy world that she now lives in in her confused broken mind because it's nicer than the real one.

I'll be playing your part." (I'm a guy)
