Broadway Tourette's

1. The sudden involuntary spasmodic singing of Broadway songs.
(definition from Garrison Keillor's "Guy Noir" February 4, 2006)

2. More broadly, it can also include songs from other musicals, movies, and shows that may or may not have been on Broadway.

"I can't find my keys, but they've got to be somewhere!"
"Somewhere? Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high..."
"Could you control your Broadway Tourette's? I really need to find my keys."

Broadway

A street known in each of three large cities as the historical, cultural, and commercial center of the city. In the Chicago neighborhood of Uptown, Broadway is home to the Aragon Ballroom, Riviera Theater, Uptown Theatre, and Green Mill Jazz Club. In San Francisco, Broadway Street celebrates the city’s culture through adult oriented venues such as the Condor Club, the hungry i Club, the Showgirls theater, and the City Lights Bookstore. As I grew up near San Francisco, I always figured that’s why it’s called “Broad”way. So, when traveling with my fiancée in New York, and she asked me if I wanted to catch a show on Broadway Avenue, well… let’s just say the resulting misunderstanding led to a substantial fight.

Tourist 1: Hey, do you want to pick up a show on Broadway?
Tourist 2: I don't know. In this city, would it be "The King and I" or "The King and Di"?

broad comedy

Style or sub-genre of comedy that employs humor of a particularly physical, over-the-top, indecent, or otherwise unsubtle nature.
This terminology uses an uncommon definition of "broad," which would usually be taken to mean "general" or "of great breadth."

The Three Stooges will forever be cherished for their classic works of broad comedy.
