Original Description:
Hahaha, well! Chicago is one of my favorite musicals, and I like this song in particular. I based Flim and Flam’s outfits on the pinstripe sequin suit (which is positively to die for, haha) Richard Gere wore in the 2002 Chicago film. Razzle Dazzle really fits for Flim and Flam, and when Flam called Applejack “Doll Face” in one of the My Little Pony comics (when King Sombra comes back) I had to put the brothers on a Roaring 20s stage. I was pretty clumsy at drawing the brothers but I’m glad I did it in the end. Hope you like it! The curtains were too eye-killing bright red and I still needed something to make the piece look flashy, so I lowered the opacity and put a rainbow spotlight on Flim and Flam and it luckily made the red curtains a bit easier to look at. Flim and Flam made the rainbow spotlight using their magic and also made a bunch of star sparks whizz through the air while doing their song and dance.

Give ’em the ’ol razzle dazzle!
Razzle dazzle ’em!
Give ’em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give ’em the ’ol hocus-pocus!
Bead and feather ‘em!
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you’re just disgusting?
Razzle dazzle ‘em, and they’ll never catch wise!
Give ’em the ’ol razzle dazzle!
Razzle dazzle ’em!
Give ‘em a show that’s so splendiferous
Row after row will grow vociferous!
Give ’em the ’ol Flim-Flam Flummox!
Fool and fracture ‘em
How can they hear the truth above the roar?
(ROAR ROAR ROAR)
Throw ‘em a fake and a finagle
They’ll never know you’re just a bagel
Razzle dazzle ‘em
And they’ll beg you for more!
Give ’em the ’ol double-whammy
Daze and dizzy ’em!
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bamboozler
Give ’em the ‘ol three-ring circus
Stun and stagger ‘em
When you’re in trouble, go into your dance!
Though you are stiffer than a girder
They’ll let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle ‘em
And you’ve got a romance!
Give ’em the ’ol razzle dazzle!
Razzle dazzle ’em!
Show ’em the first-rate sorcerer you are!
Long as you keep ’em way off balance
How can they spot you got no talents?
Razzle dazzle ’em!
Razzle dazzle ‘em!
And they’ll make you a star!
~Razzle Dazzle, Chicago
