I'm English, I'm Suddenly English!
Here's a brief little West Side Story followup: as of last week the Spanish-language "A Boy Like That" has been easily assimilated back into English, along with a little bit of "I Feel Pretty." So those "One of your ow-w-wn kind, Stick to your ow-w-wn kind" lines are back in their lurching original glory.
I always found that word setting more charming than not, really, although I can't identify why. I think the movie version with Rita Moreno will back me up on that. The syncing is off in that YouTube clip; but if that's too bothersome you can always watch Moreno's excellent later work on the Muppet Show instead.

Good reference to a different Bernstein musical...
Thanks! Yes, I try to dance sailor-like through the entire metropolis that is Bernstein references.
