This 11 o'clock number from HAIRSPRAY has always been a quiet favorite of mine. But boy oh boy are these lyrics so incredibly relevant in this country right now.There are so many powerful versions of this song.

Just listened to "One of the Boys" on Sirius XM. What a great song. In fact, I love the score to 9 TO 5. Backwards Barbie, Get Out and Stay Out, just to name a few. I'm really surprised this show didn't have a better run. And I've certainly heard what, IMO, are lesser scores that have won Best Score.
