(meme) Musical Meme

A dessert following morning meme, based on an inspiration from shutterbug93:

The Musical Meme

  • Post a list of 10 shows (I did a dozen) you love
  • Have your friends list guess your favorite song from each show
  • When guessed bold the line and write a sentence about why you like that song.
  1. Two Gentlemen of Verona: Follow the Rainbow/Where’s North. A strong, brassy song.
  2. Avenue Q. Either “The Internet is for Porn” (because its so funny) or “I Want To Go Back To College” (ah, those were the days).
  3. The Wiz: Don’t Nobody Bring Me No Bad News. A classic heavy piano song, sung by that classic heavy, Mabel King.
  4. Baby: I Chose Right. Guessed by shutterbug93. I just love the melody, and the sentiment, in this song.
  5. Heartbeats: Putting Things Away and The Rose. The former because I agree with the sentiment; the latter because it is so pretty.
  6. The Rothschilds: Overture. I just love the overture to this show.
  7. Seussical: How Lucky You Are. Love the words.
  8. A Day In Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine: Just Go To The Movies. Great Jerry Herman music.
  9. City of Angels: You Can Always Count On Me. Wonderful Cy Coleman.
  10. The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public: Brand New Start, although I’m Leaving Texas isn’t bad. Just like the tunes.
  11. Miss Spectacular: Las Vegas. The perfect Vegas song.
  12. The Most Happy Fella: Standin’ on the Corner (…watching all the girls go by). Guessed by shutterbug93. C’mon, if I express the sentiments in I Love My Wife, I’ve just gotta like this song!

Again, not always easy choices.
