Ooo, "Time Heals Everything" is beautiful- also from Mack and Mabel- "Wherever He Ain't" is catchy

'Child's Play' from THE FIX
'A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste' from WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND (not sure if you guys would consider this a FLOP, but it's not exactly a megahit.

Ok so reviving this thread a little bit. I want to put on a concert of great flop songs at my school next semester. SO, if you guys could have your dream flops concert (12-13 songs) what would it be?

I know I want something from Carrie and High Fidelity for sure.

I know it never made it to the US and it was a flop in London, but "This Time Around" from "Peggy Sue Got Married"! Amazing!

Hmmm...

"For Susan" and "For Sarah"...I might add "For Laura".

Glad people mentioned "Prettybelle".

I'd add "What Was Going On" and "I Am All Ablaze" from Canterbury Tales.

THe London sequence of four songs sung by Tessie O'Shea from THE GIRL WHO CAME TO SUPPER and "The Coronation Chorale" from the same show.

Anything from CARRIE was amazing to me but then again I always loved the composers.

And I loved stuff from Once on This Island but that is not a flop to me.

Oh man, I hope this is for a benefit.

My favorite is "I Said it And I'm Glad" from Subways are for Sleeping. Not only from a flop musial, but CUT from a flop musical! And it's so great.

Disenyland from SMILE is Brilliant

and I love

Come Down from the Tree from Once on this Island

"Mistress of Deception - The Fix"

yes! I also love "Spin".

Rowe and Dempsey have alot to put in this category, since they only have flops.

"Eastwick Knows" and "Make Him Mine" from Witches of Eastwick.

[Kev2222]

Posted: 10/31/07 at 12:06pm

My vote is for pretty much anything from Craig Carnelia's score to "Is There Life After High School." Most especially "Fran and Janie."

(Speaking of Rowe and Dempsey, I've always been partial to "Rules Regulations and Respect" from "Zombie Prom," which I was surprised wasn't part of the short film adaptation of the show now available for free download on ITunes. Who films a musical and doesn't include the one big showstopping song from the stage version?)

Does anyone think "Leave Me Alone" from Side Show is pure brilliance?

[Lavieboheme3090]

"Astonishing" from little women is an amazing song.
