"Daisy" from HAVE A HEART

"How I Am" from Little Women, "Alone in the Universe" from Suessical, and I'm sure several songs will go down in the books from Glory Days, though I doubt that will be forgotten.

If I were to pick a song from Little Women, How I Am would definitely not be it. I would choose probably Days of Plenty. Astonishing, Some Things Are Meant to Be, and Fire Within Me are all better than How I Am.

I have a list of these. My wife and I did a topic for XM's Daily Special Feature last year called "The Song Is More Famous Than the Show."

Here is one that wasn't on our list -- although it will be in Chapter 2 if and when we submit it:

"Here's That Rainy Day" from "Carnival in Flanders"

(One of my mother's favorite songs, BTW.)

"Love Makes the World Go Round" (Carnival!)
"The Lady Is a Tramp" (Babes in Arms)
"Who Can I Turn To" (The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd)
"I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (Promises, Promises)
"Just in Time" (Bells Are Ringing)
"Send in the Clowns" (A Little Night Music)
"Love Changes Everything" (Aspects of Love)
"September Song" (Knickerbocker Holiday)
"All the Things You Are" (Very Warm for May)
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" (Roberta)
"Real Live Girl" (Little Me)

"The Party's Over" (Bells Are Ringing)

This Time Around - Peggy Sue Got Married

The only thing worth salvaging from that show.

How on earth is Threepenny Opera considered a "forgotten musical"??? LOL
