Songs We Hate In Scores We Love — Page 3

Wicked- Something bad, and the wizard songs (to add to the general consensis)

Rocky Horror Show- I Can Make You A Man (I just never liked the song, in either the movie or the show's soundtrack)

Hair- Oh that one song that goes something about being radioactive and somewhere in there it goes "...spark, i glow in the dark". Yeah, dont like that one.

Joseph- Benjamin Calypso. I hate that song.



Well, this could keep going, but thats enough for now.

"So What?" in Cabaret
I don't hate it, but my least favourite song in AIDA is "How I Know You."

---

Urban, I totally agree with you about "Special."

When I listen to Evita, I find myself skipping over every other song, or so it seems. Most of the conversational stuff...anything to get to 'High Flying, Adored' sooner.

---

Not that I love the whole score...but "Quiet" (from Mattress) bugs the HECK outta me.

It's easier to skip tracks now on CD. When we had Lp's it was awkward and there was always a risk of scratching the record.

A few of mine....

CABARET (orig 1966 B'way cast) - I usually skip "Why Should I Wake Up." It's a dull song and was cut from most subsequent productions. (I would NEVER skip "So What" - a great character song, esp as sung by Lotte Lenya.)

GOODBYE GIRL "Too Good to be Bad" - unlike most of the other songs that does nothing for the plot and it's not a great song either.

MAME - I always skip "St Bridgett" and go from the Overture right to "It's Today."

NINE - "The Germans at the Spa" - and again it was cut from the revival.

Also on BELLS ARE RINGING I drop "Salzburg" and "Midas Touch" and re-program the ad for Susanswerphone (Track 2, "Bells are Ringing") to come at the end as a finale since there isn't one on the disc.

I also frequently correct the running orders on CD to correspond to what happens in teh show. Anyone else do this too?

I LOVE Don't Be the Bunny and I love John Collum

OMG I love the way Peters sings Last Midnight, so powerful. A song I sometimes skip is Tender Shepard from Peter Pan...it gets so old.

---

The Dog "Woof" song in SUNDAY IN THE PARK W/ GEORGE. I can't bring myself to listen to the whole thing. Its just too long, wierd and boring. I absolutley worship the rest of the show, though.

i haven't seen this thread until now... but i LOVE miss baltimore crabs! i love the lyrics... it cracks me up and its fun to sing along to :P
