Posted: 5/7/08 at 11:56pm"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.

Posted: 5/8/08 at 12:07amIf 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.)

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Johnny One Note from Babes in Arms
I've always had a soft spot for "At the Fountain" from Sweet Smell of Success.
