I agree with My Simple Wish.... That is a great song.

And I have to disagree with Stars and Moon. It is such an amazingly aching and heartbreaking song. I love that song very much.

But... I forgot BRING ON THE MEN for it's punny sexual inuendos.

I've always liked Simple Little System from BELL ARE RING. Especially at the end when they quote Handel . . Hialeah! Hialeah! LOL, good times.

When I saw The Last Five Years in New York, I was practically having fits of laughter over "Shiksa Goddess." It wasn't quite as funny in Philadelphia, but I still enjoyed it a lot there.

Other than that, I've always been partial to "Big Ass Rock," which is the only song from The Full Monty I really got into from the cast recording. "An Old-Fashioned Love Story" from the Lippa Wild Party is a gem. "The Internet is for Porn" rocks my socks, as does half the score of Avenue Q.

I WANT TO GET MARRIED from Follow The Girls, especially when the heroine sings about the furniture she and her husband will buy, and then he'll end up sharing her drawers.

How could we forget? There was a little-loved flop about 30 years ago called "Farewell 174th Street" [or was it "Goodbye, 174th Street"? How could I forget?) ANYWAY-- there's a fabulous song called "The Butlers Song" -- but is usually referred to by the first line: "He's Screwing Dolores DelRio."

Actually, it was "So Long, 174th Street" and if you hadn't mentioned the Butler's Song (sung by the irreplaceable George S. Irving), I would have. Hands down THE funniest song I've heard in over 30 years of theatregoing!

I'll agree with "Getting Married Today." It's funny, harrowing, and doesn't resort to jokes. The character of Amy gets to feel her panic and comment on it at the same time.
