What's the term for it when several melodies & story lines come together at the climax of a song? It slips my mind. Like 'Along Came Bialy' at the end of Act 1 in the Producers.

I'd suggest a fugue, but more musically informed than I might correct me.

I don't know the song but depending on how the score is structured may fit into the leitmotif category

Quodlibet may be the word I'm looking for. And we can add Lida Rose from The Music Man to the list of nice MT counterpoints.

Only in a game of scrabble, dear... You may scoff but Quodlibet was absolutely the word being used (not by me) on the precursor to this forum when The Producers was new.

This doesn't really count I dont think but The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee - The I Love You Song There is a little overlap but the 3-way harmonies towards of the end of the song are amazing!

The Loesser is a great example and it is, more or less, a proper fugue. Is 'Tinhorns not in fact a canon?

The Loesser is a great example and it is, more or less, a proper fugue. Is 'Tinhorns not in fact a canon?Boring Technical Explanation: It is strictly speaking an exact canon for 3 voices but it is almost a fugue, or strictly speaking a fughetta as it is so short, since it has a subject, i.e. the first part of the tune, followed by a countersubject, i.e. the 'can do' bit. The entry of each subject should be in different keys (they aren't) but the fact the tune starts on off beats makes it sound more fugal than canonical. Right, you can all stop yawning at the back now; who's today's milk-monitor?

Technical explanations are not boring at all. Don't be so self-deprecating for not being dim or ill-educated.
