==Music== Music was an integral part of the show and five songs were included in every episode. The musical variety ranged over a number of genres released from the 1960s onward. While these numbers were usually performed onstage in the context of a concert at The P*lace, they were also occasionally used to illustrate a character's internal monologue or conflict. The vocal responsibilities were shared by all five (or six) singers; every cast member was given an opportunity to perform featured or solo songs throughout the course of the season. Each episode consisted of one original number and generally five previously recorded songs by recognized artists. Artists and songs ranged from the 1950s to the 1990s. The original songs were written by the hired composers of the show. Depending on the year those composers were Michael Cruz, Andrew R. Powell, [[Craig Sharmat]], and others. Due to the age of both the performers and the target demographic, lyrics with objectionable content were generally edited out of the songs and replaced with more appropriate language such as "[[Jump Around]]" by [[House of Pain]] and "[[Hip Hop Hooray]]" by [[Naughty by Nature]]. However, occasionally songs were performed as written, slightly objectionable lyrics intact. Examples of uncensored songs that were presented on the series include "[[Dancing with Myself]]" by [[Billy Idol]] ("The Storybook House" episode, 1990), "[[Seven Wonders (song)|Seven Wonders]]" by [[Fleetwood Mac]] (1988), "[[Prove Your Love]]" by [[Taylor Dayne]] (although this had a slight edit on the chorus as "I wanna see your body dance with mine"), and "[[Smooth Criminal]]" by [[Michael Jackson]] (1990).
