I heard that as well. Still it's fun music.

The official Facebook page just posted the lyrics for a song (I believe it's a version of the song heard in the trailer, so this would be the opening and that one the closing)
The reflection gets the "Way back in days of old, there was a legend told, about a hero known as Galavant..." difficult to read

There's also a singalong at the SDCC of this song.

ABC only ordered 13 episodes for the show; I hope it gets renewed for a 2nd season.

Glenn Slater, the lyricist, says that even though the show's a comedy, it still has "an emotional core that makes everything matter and have stakes."

ABC will only air it in 2015? Well, all good things to those who wait... But 13 episodes and Hugh Bonneville are great news!

Wonder if the UK will get this ? Very unlikely I suppose with the cancelling of Once, but it has caused a HUGE outcry amongst the UK fans of the show.

Hey, some of my favorite shows were only a few 1-hour episodes.

...Well okay, they're all historical dramas. But Galavant is a historical ... musical. :shrug:

Well, at least we're getting eight episodes, so two episodes per week isn't that bad of a thing.

Yup, just pointless filler during Once Upon a Time's break. I'm looking forward to it but I can't see it being a hit. Even if it turns out to be great, four weeks and then it's gone for good :(

I guess we should be grateful something like this is airing on network television at all, but ABC has a history of GOD awful scheduling and marketing :angry:

Maybe it proves Disney doesn't know how to run a network.

• Interviews: #01 / #02 / #03 / #04 / #05 / #06 / #07 / #08 /#09

• Behind-the-scenes featurette.

Lyric video of the title song "Galavant".

• The official Galavant website has added a lot more clips, behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, etc.

Unfortunately, some lyrics of the title song got changed since the pilot; most of them were toned down from their initial version because of their sexual nature. The new ones are not as funny and don't match as well with the video footage.

Here are the changes:

Then: A total goddess known as Madalena
Now: And Madalena, she was one fair maiden

Then: Long legs and glowing skin, a body built for sin
Now: Long legs and perfect skin, a body built for sin

Then: Plus more than just a touch of nymphomania.
Now: With cleavage you could hold a whole parade in

Then: Romance could hardly get much hotter / All day long, he'd you-know-what her
Now: True love was never this ecstatic nor as wildly acrobatic

Then: Then they'd you-know-what again, three times or even ten
Now: Yes! He loved her to excess, thrice daily more or less
