Hi,

I'm putting on a show and I'm looking for "fighting" or "breakup" duets within a couple. Something along the lines of "Anything You Can Do"... not too sad, with plenty of humor.

I would love to hear all of your suggestions! Thanks!

An oldie but goodie... "Sue Me" from Guys and Dolls.

my initial response to seeing the topic was "We Do Not Belong Together" from SITPWG but then saw you wanted not too sad and with plenty of humor...perhaps "All 'Er Nothin" from Oklahoma!

"Nice" from Lucky Stiff. Funny, sad, not too heavy. Great Pre-Ragtime Ahrens and Flaherty.

Not from a stage musical, but the Gershwins' "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," from the film Shall We Dance.

Ooh, I have to agree with VonTussleGirl. That song is hilarious-- check out Nathan Lane and Faith Prince performing it.

Sadly the first thing I thought of was "I Dismiss You" from The Pirate Queen.

Wherever He Ain't from Mack and Mabel.
The Last 5 Years has a bunch but they're not all funny. Only a few are but it's great stuff.

Another oldie "Ev'rything I've Got" from By Jupiter and if you can track it down "You Still Have a Long Way to Go" from Goodtime Charlie."You're a Liar" from Wildcat and "I've Got It All"from On the Twentieth Century are fun too.

"You Wanna Be My Friend" from Closer Than Ever. It's a really funny duet about a break-up.

"Could You Use Me?" is from GIRL CRAZY.

My first thought was "The Honeymoon is Over" from "I Do, I Do".

Try "Don't Like You" from THE BEAUTIFUL GAME for a spin.

Not a duet, but I always love "Could I Leave You?" from Follies.

some parts of "Loveland / You're Gonna Love Tomorrow" could fit under this category.
