Anything from Avenue Q. Something strange is, Millie's considered a comedy, yet the only funny song is They Don't Know.

Well, while Millie's music isn't hysterical, some of the songs have some pretty funny lines, and the dialogue/actions in the show are hilarious. Just think about the plot--that's pretty bizarre, and pretty funny in itself.

Keep it Gay- The Producers
Agony- Into the Woods
I'm Calm- Forum
Everyone's A Little Bit Rascist- Ave Q
Officer Krupke- WSS
What A Game- Ragtime
Golden Helmet of Mambrino- Man of La Mancha
Summer in Ohio- Last Five years
He Wanted to Say- Ragtime... OK I know it wasn't a comic song, but that line when it goes through of all younger brother wanted to say and he just says"I know how to blow things up." Both in the song and in the book when I read that line, It just struck me very funny as up to that point it was a very touching song.

You, you are the worst thing to happen to musical theater since Andrew Lloyd Webber... and you I just don't like you.

let's face it , EVEVERYTHING from forbidden broadway is funny. I especially love "Michael Crawford Sequence" from vol.3. Ditto about "what'cha gunna do?" from bat boy, "Suburbia Santa" from songs..., "tango:maureen" from rent. I absolutly love "what is this feeling?" from wicked when galinda says.."unusally and excedingly peculiar and all together quite impossible to describe..." and elphaba says,"blonde" There's also "the American dream" from miss saigon, And most everything from urinetown(that is one of the funniest show's i've ever seen!)"my strongest suit" from aida, "the swamps of home" from once upon a mattress and last but not least, AVENUE Q!!! The first time i heard "the internet is for porn" i couldn't stop laughing for an hour. I always laugh when he says, "ooo..sticks and stones kate monster!!"

Hands down - The Butler's Song from "So Long 174th Street". Once heard, never forgotten. Had the utter joy over the weekend to hear it again from it's originator, George S. Irving.
