Help! I've been asked to prepare a comic song for an audition and I need some suggestions. It's for an older, charactery woman. I've already sung "Baltimore Crabs" which was perfect...but now I need to prepare another one. Anyone know anything? Thanks!
Don't know how "older" you are looking to get but you might try "No Time At All" from Pippin.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

"Repent" from "On the Twentieth Century" by Cy Coleman, Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
"Everybody's Girl" from "Steel Pier" by John Kander and Fred Ebb.
And if anyone has the sheet music to "He Had Refinement", let me know. I've been looking for a copy of it for ages.

YOu Can Always Count On Me is one of my most favorite songs ever! The lyrics to that one have me cracking up and rolling on the floor every time I hear it.
"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."
- Tom Stoppard, Shipwreck
