"What I did For Love" - A Chorus Line
A bunch already listed, checkout the old Rodgers and Hart shows, one of the biggest ones being "My Funny Valentine" from Babes in Arms.

Oh that reminds me. "Send in the Clowns". You gotta love Krusty's version (even he does screw up the lyrics).

Neverland, I'm Flying from Peter Pan, and, there's anything from Sound of Music.
And soon, I guess, anything from Mary Poppins will qualify for votes when it finally gets to Bway.

"Everyone knows how to make fun of "I feel Pretty." Even if they don't have the slightest clue of the actual notes or words!"
I know some people who think this was specifically written for ANGER MANGAMENT.
Which reminds me, it makes me sick when kids refer to BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER as "that Clay Aiken song"
