OY! You're a Broadway fan and you "don't know where it's from?????????????????" Ugh.
It's a world-famous song - considered a "standard," originally from the musical SHOW BOAT. Jerome Kern. Lordy.

Posted: 5/15/06 at 8:26pmcturtle: LOL! Thanks for pointing that out! I actually wondered if I was missing something...I knew for sure Showboat was Kern, but something was nagging at me about "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" specifically even as I was typing. Thanks! =)

It's my standard audition song - with the verse (the best part!), unless they only want the 16 bars.

Posted: 5/15/06 at 9:43pmAm I insane, or did they do a 1930's movie version of that? I own the 50s one, but I'm not sure about the other.

1936, directed by James Whale.
Irene Dunne as Magnolia.

Elphaba - 
Rath - I don't use it in auditions, but I always sing it when I do my jazz gigs. And ALWAYS with the verse, which I also love to bits! =)
Atrias - Actually, they did one in 1929 and one in 1936 in addition to the 1951 version. =)
