(I couldn't play piano in real life at the time.) The only lyrics I recall are, "You can't channel Buddah through your crystal earrings." The girls joined in and there was a whole lot of skilled dancing going on. Fun.
As a teen, I was always in the school musicals (usually sweet girl-next-door type roles). Performing* or auditioning is still a common motif in my dreams even though I haven't done it for years. I'm sure I know the lyrics of songs in my sleep that I certainly don't know in waking life. I can also hit notes that I can't hit when awake.
*Funny thought: one of those dream performances was me flying and the audience, which included a bishop, being scandalised. I was only about 19 at the time and not into AP at all.
