I need a song about sibling rivalry, hopefully from a musical for a performance. Thanks in advance for your help!

somethnig from gypsy maybe?

and i know a brother and sister that sang "anything you can do (i can do better" from annie get your gun. it really works that way actually.

EDIT-

also, from r&h's cinderlla.. i don't know what the actual title is, but the song the 2 stepsisters sing.. "why would a fellow want a girl like her, a girl who's merely lovely, why can't a fellow even once prefer, a girl who's merely me.. what's the matter with the men.."

that is cute. not rivalry, but.. siblings.

There's a song called "Triplets." I heard it once and cannot remember what show it is from, but it's a funny song.

Would you consider "Leave Me Alone" from "Sideshow?" It's kind of sibling rivalry-ish.

Wait, do you want a duet or a solo?

"Triplets" is from the 1950's movie musical "The Band Wagon" originally, although it may have been interploted into an actual broadway show later on.

The "Anything you can do I can do better" song might work?

"Lily's Eyes" from Secret Garden, though that's pushing it.

There's a song by Irving Berlin called "Sisters," it's a great little number and there is a recording floating around with Rosemary Clooney and Doris Day singing it.

I'm not sure if Rosemary ever recorded "Sisters" with Doris. The most popular version is the one she did with her own sister. There's always "Sister Kate," but that might be more of an, "I envy my sibling" song.

There's a great version of 'Sisters' on Emily Skinner's and Alice Ripley's DUETS CD.
"Lord help the sister who comes between me and my mister"

Look for the musical "John and Jen." There are a lot of funny sibling rivalry songs in it.

"Anything You Can Do" would work great
"Sisters"...sure, why not?
"What is This Feeling" might even work. It could be interesting coming from siblings.

dramaqueen2: I believe that song is called "The Stepsisters' Lament."

Sisters - it's from White Christmas....and made for a humorous scene in one of the early episodes of Mad About You.

I would check out Liz and Ann Hampton Calloway's CD 'Sibling Revelry'-they have this huge montage of duets....maybe you could find something there?
