The song about the devil dragging you under by the sharp lapels of your checkered coat also from Guys and Dolls. I'm one of the least musical people on the planet but I can sort sing the chorus.

"Mr. Booze" from Robin and the Seven Hoods.

They Can't Take That Away From Me - Fred Astaire - Shall We Dance
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - Julie Andrews - Mary Poppins
Come What May - Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor - Moulin Rouge
My Favorite Things - Julie Andrews - The Sound of Music
In The Mood - The Glenn Miller Story
Singing in the Rain - Gene Kelly - Singin' In The Rain
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas - Judy Garland - Meet Me In St. Louis
I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face - Rex Harrison - My Fair Lady
White Christmas - Bing Crosby - Holiday Inn
Battle Hymn of the Republic - Red Nichols & Louis Armstrong - The Five Pennies

There are so many wonderful, wonderful songs. This doesn't begin to touch the thousands that I have loved for years.

Hmmm.... I think this is a "dolls" thread.

Great music in Guys N Dolls!

This is a trick question - there are no great songs from musicals.

Gotta agree with you on that one Bob but I just saw the first Musical I can get into.
Across the Universe. All Beatles tunes nothing else.

geez.some of the most popular you've missed

Memories..cats

Cats? Really? "Memories" is the most overrated show tune ever. I despise it and fart in your general direction.

Kacey, thanks for Singing in the Rain. It's my favorite musical of all but I couldn't pick just one song.

Bob L.- Try Jesus Christ Superstar - it has very manly-man type songs that might be more to your taste.
