* "Spread a Little Sunshine" plays pretty nicely as a straightforward VillainSong, alternating between pious lyrics and bump-and-grind dance breaks as Fastrada's faux-heartfelt talk of reconciliation inspires Pippin to murder his father. Seen in context of the ending, where [[spoiler:she, along with the rest of the company, chants "think of the sun" to encourage Pippin to his final SelfImmolation]], it's clear that she was ''never'' trying to orchestrate a coup for the sake of a coup. The murder itself was just another step ''closer, closer, closer, closer...'' towards the Finale:
-->"And if we all could spread a little sunshine,
-->All could light a little fire,
-->We all would be a little closer
-->To our heart's desire..."
