"Glitter and Be Gay"-CANDIDE (particularly as performed by Barbara Cook)
"Bosom Buddies"-MAME
"One Hundred Easy Ways"-WONDERFUL TOWN
"A Little Priest"-SWEENEY TODD
"The Song That Goes Like This"-SPAMALOT

Just to nitpick, the song from WOMAN OF THE YEAR it's actually called "The Glass Is Always Greener," and it is indeed performed with brilliant comic timing on the OBCR, Marilyn Cooper steals the show from under Bacall though.

Ah, yes, "Adelaide's Lament" is quite fantastic and funny. Although I find "Marry the Man Today" and "Take Back Your Mink" almost as funny, and sometimes even funnier--depending on who's performing it.

I second "Love is My Legs." That song is absolutely hilarious! I love it. Especially the way NLB and SRS sing it. They are brilliant.
