I'm talking about the ones that you can't get enough of, but other people might be like WTF? if you mention your like or love of them. Okay, this might not be a good place for a post like this, but we'll give it a shot.
Mine:
Diva's Lament-Spamalot-It's just so funny.
C'mon Marianne-Jersey Boys-This one I'm just biased to because of my name sake. LOL! It is a good song though, so that's a plus. I'm just excited that the spelling of my name finally gets some recognition because it doesn't that often. And yes, I do realize this was a song before Jersey Boys, but it's in the show, so I count it as one.
Mr. Mistoffelees-Cats
Those are the only few I can think of right now.
"I don't want the pretty lights to come and get me."-Homecoming 2005
"You can't pray away the gay."-Callie Torres on Grey's Anatomy.

Posted: 4/19/08 at 5:58pmAnything from the Full Monty... I so wish that show was still on Broadway.
So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

Posted: 4/19/08 at 6:01pmSunday in the Park with George (from SINTPWG lol). I know its not an unpopular song it just seems like Finishing the Hat and Children and Art get all the attention.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious- Mary Poppins. It's so useful, because I can now spell the word the correct way
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I really enjoy Martin Short's Fame Becomes Me and I was giving it a listen the other day and I thought to myself, do normal people listen to this stuff?

With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-

Die, Vampire, Die! - [title of show]
Branded a Tramp - Johnny Guitar (That was SUCH a ridiculous show.)
I Want More - Lestat
The entire cast recording of Zombie Prom. I can't even get over how hokey it is, and thus it's right up my alley.
