Bway songs that pay homage to the Solar Eclipse

The two I can think of are "Da-Doo" from Little Shop (...there was a total eclipse of the sun...), and "With One Look" from Sunset Boulevard (...with one glance, I eclipse the sun...)

Any others?

Huh, I've never heard that line in Sunset.  Is that a different version I'm not familiar with?

The only other thing I can think of is Dance of the Vampires, but I'm not sure if that counts.

I guess "Look at the Sky" from Urinetown isn't exactly appropriate...

'Sun and Moon' from Miss Saigon fits.

'Celebration' from Celebration, in context, is part of an eclipse-related ritual. So is the whole show, for that matter.

And any songs which mention the moon and/or the sun might work :)

"Tomorrow" from Annie (the sun will come out tomorrow...there will be sun...)

Da-Doo is the only literal one I can think of, but if you're going for a general sun-themed playlist...

"Shine Like the Sun" from 9 to 5

"Sunrise" or "When the Sun Goes Down" from In the Heights

"There Will Be Sun" from Groundhog Day

"I Got the Sun In the Morning" (...and the moon at night) from Annie Get Your Gun

"Out of the Sun" from Honeymoon in Vegas (not exactly sun-positive!)

"Sun Is Gonna Shine" from Bright Star

"When the Sun Goes Down in the South" from Big River

"Sunlight of No Light" from Gospel at Colonus
