ha, I've done that before.
When you walk into the room singing "ive been thinking flowers, maybe daises, to brighten up the room *turns to someone* don't you think some flowers, pretty daises, might relieve the gloom? Gillie flowers maybe, nothing like a nice bowl of gillies"
or
*pointing up to the chimneys, singing* smoke, smoke, sign of the devil, city on fire!

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, but the film has brought back a lot of the same type of interest in it that I had as a kid, when I'd literally watch the PBS performance like daily.
I used to get individual Sarah Lee Apple Pies, which were shaped exactly like Lovett's pies, and sing along to "Worst Pies In London."

-When you're watching Eastern Promises and the first thought that comes to your head during the murder-in-the-barbershop scene is " Just like Sweeney Todd."
-When your friend mentions her friend Lucy and you automatically start thinking of Sweeney Todd
-When you start singing along in the movie theatre and complain about all the cuts that were made.
-When your favourite threat is "I'll turn you into a meat pie!"
-You get excited when you discover that your Speech teacher is a Sweeney fan (I overheard him talking to another student about the movie, and he mentioned he owned the Lansbury/Hearn film)
-You listen to your cast recordings at least once a day
I can't think of any more right now, but I'll add any if they come to me...

-You plan to name your daughter 'Johanna'.
-You freak out when you see a broken straight razor at an antique store and then get all depressed when you parents and your brother won't let you buy it. (The blade was all damaged anyway...) (Guilty!)
-You re-enact the story for the next three days after seeing the film. (Or you alter the story to fit you better.) (Guilty!)

not gulity although there is a chance i might be gulity of that just because it's johnny depp if i had a poster.
-You've asked one of your friends to go to Halloween as Sweeney/Lovett so that you can be their counterpart.
not gulity yet, but i do want to mrs. lovett for halloween this year. and im hoping i can get maybe my bf or one of my male friends to go as Sweeney.
-You've recorded yourself and your equally obsessed friends singing the score.
no but id like to.
-You see every production that roles into your town.
i would but nobody does it where i live. my grandmother did years ago before she died, but sadly at the time i was too young to see it.

When you sing Epiphany at the top of your lungs and walk fiercely around your room as Sweeney with a Sharpie as your razor, because that was the only pointy thing around at the moment you felt the urge to act out Epiphany.

You know you're obsessed with Sweeney Todd, when you sing The Ballad any time you're mad at somebody and feel like being passive aggressive.
Recently, when my director was extremely rude to me, I left rehearsal humming, "To seek revenge may lead to hell..."
<.< >.> <.<

That was me in my chem class last semester; gah. I loathed my professor, and I began to write the lyrics of the Ballads in the margins of my notes when I just couldn't take any more of him. I also drew a razor-wielding Sweeney stick-figure at least once; I was very tempted to add in my prof (he was bearded, conveniently), but I didn't want to risk arrest.

hihey you want to know what's really embarrassing *i have done it my self* when your sitting on the toilet or standing in the shower and you burst into a song ether from Sweeney Todd or some other song and then you walk out and everyone is laughing at you lol

When you start playing samples of dongs from the various Sweeney cast recordings from the Barnes and Noble website on the library computers at school even though you don't have earphones. Now everyone is left staring at you as you're grinning from ear to ear listening to a 30 second snippet of the first ballad about a "demon barber".

When someone asks you whats in a pie, you say, "Priest."

... I work in a bakery. Every time someone asks me about the pies, I get so tempted to start singing.

I went to a group interview for a summer camp counselor job, and at one point, while we were waiting for a couple people outside to prepare their game/skit thing, and I was bored, so I began sing the First Ballad...and then it got really quiet. So imagine this, you're with a bunch people in a dark room, and all you hear is some kid singing Sweeney Todd off-key.

Oh, I was at a super store once and some person thought I worked there. He asked 'Excuse me m'am, what pie is this' First of all, I'm not a m'am, more so of a 'lass'. And I didn't work there. SO I just smugly replied 'It's priest, try a little priest' and left him there.
Fun stuff

You know you're obsessed with Sweeney Todd when your mom gets you a pot pie, and you stare at her for a second and ask, "What's in this?" and she responds "Vegetables," but you sitll open it up to make sure that there isn't any suspicious meat inside.

You know you're obsessed when you go nuts and start squeeling when you see Michael Cerveris in an episode of Law and Order:CI...and squeel some more when you look him up on IMDB and find out he was on CSI too (He was that strip-strangler guy that almost killed Billy Peterson's character...I think he actually had hair in that episode too... ).
Yeah I know he wasn't the greatest Sweeney ever or anything like that...but he was a Sweeney nonetheless, and that's enough to get me squeeling.
What is it with Cerveris and playing killers?

Your biology professor is talking about homologous chromosomes and uses the example of how an allele could code for brown hair on one and red on another, or dishwater blond, or any other shade you could run through on the list... and you start humming....
"There's tawny and there's golden saffron, there's flaxen and there's blond...."

lol...that's very amusing...YKYOWSTW you attempt to get a niner on your bus into the show when you discover she lieks the movie and likes to sing Epiphany in Spanish...it's going very well actually. She'd already seen parts of the Hearn/Lansbury movie so I told her to hgo back on youtube and find stuff from the concert and to year some of the songs they cut out of the movie. In turn, I read her poem on fanfiction.net.

YKYOWSTW you name your infant simulator from Life Skills (which is an egg, mind you) Sweeney Todd.

YKYOWSTW you're always looking for ways to involve Sweeny Todd in your Speech assignments at school. Currently I'm using it as evidence in my persuasive speech on how original Broadway productions are better than their film interpretations.

You quite often scare the younger kids in your tutor room at lunchtimes by singing various songs or shouting "Mischiffffff!" when senior management walk past.

YKYOWSTW you make your personal mission at school to ween the Bleeders off of the movie and get them hooked on the original stuf. Fun fun

Haha, I started singing that in a hair dye area
I just came back from a hair cut and my hair-dresser was giving me layered hair and he had this 'scissor' like things (not sure what they were) and they looked very much like a straight razor
I started to hum the Judges' part, but he didn't seem to notice
