In my opinion, they are QUITE A LOT of songs in Musicals that have funny or unusual titles.

Let's see how many we can name.

I'll get the ball rolling--

"A Cow and a Plough and a Frau" -- ARMS AND THE GIRL

"I Do Not Know a Day I Did Not Love You" -- TWO BY TWO

"Chant of The Dead Pilot" -- SHANGRI-LA


So, what are some of YOUR favorite unusual song titles?

You may want to consider the dance numbers in THE MUSIC MAN or PROMISES, PROMISES.

OK, it's almost Thanksgiving; so here's my Thanksgiving present to all of you:

The ridiculously titled song "Turkey Lurkey Time" with the most INCREDIBLE inept lyrics ever to grace the Broadway stage:

It's turkey lurkey time
Tom turkey ran away, but he just came home
It's turkey lurkey time
He's really home to stay, never one to roam
Let's make a wish, and may all our wishes come true.......
A snowy, blowy christmas, a mistletoey christmas
A turkey lurkey christmas to you...
A turkey lurkey christmas to you
It's loosey goosey time
She was a gadabout, but she's back again
It's loosey goosey time
Her time is running out, and we all know when
Let's make a wish, and may all our wishes come true....
A snowy, blowy christmas, a mistletoey christmas
A loosey goosey christmas to you...
A loosey goosey christmas to you
Turkey lurkey, loosey goosey
Some for uncle joe, some for cousin lucy
Everybody gather round the table
Dig in, dinner is being served
Eat all the turkey you are able
Can't you see a partridge in a pear tree?
Climb up and bring it down for me
That's something i would like to see
A snowy, blowy christmas, a mistletoey christmas
A turkey lurkey christmas to you......
