Ahrens and Flaherty are open the score is quite eclectic.
What songs are examples of R&B, funk, rap, pop, swing, etc.?
Any other opinions or analysis of the score?

I like the score. "Egg, Nest and Tree" is a particular favorite. I've yet to see a production where the number works, but it's a jam.

There's a bit in It's Possible that's clearly inspired by the Beach Boys (the 'ooh' bit).  The Sour Kangaroo is also channeling Aretha Franklin.
