"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.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

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.

Posted: 8/26/08 at 4:06amI second "Love is My Legs." That song is absolutely hilarious! I love it. Especially the way NLB and SRS sing it. They are brilliant.

Barbra Streisand's "Miss Marmelstein" from I Can Get It For You Wholesale (Harold Rome)
Dorothy Loudon's "Vodka" from Song of the Flame on the 1983 Tony Awards (Gershwin/Stothart/Harbach/Hammerstein)

I Got Life from Hair
Climbing Uphill from The last five years (the audition verse)
And when the night has finally gone, and when we see the new day dawn, we wonder how we wandered for so long, so blind. The wasted world we thought we knew, the light will make it look brand new, so let it shine..."
