Musicals are never far from MacFarlane's mind and he has even entertained the notion of doing a spoof of "The Sound of Music" on "Family Guy." But the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization may put the kibosh on that idea.

"They don't allow lyric changes," MacFarlane said. "So we would have to use sound-alike songs, and I despise them. That's been the big hurdle. But it would be such fun."

I'm glad the Rodgers and Hammerstein organization is protecting the legacy of this classic film!!

McFarlame is TOO damn lazy! I could make a few SoM sound-alike songs!

Hell...I have an idea for a sound-alike song from films such as "The Three Caballeros" and "Rocky Horror"! (I'm hoping to use those on my show "Bertstown" if it's ever animated).
