To show my gratitude, I'll offer you this pointy black hat, which is just like the one Original Wicked Witch Margaret Hamilton wore in the movie!

What a great idea! How about throughout the play, you continue to offer me things like a black cloak, or a black
cape, or a broom to make me look more and more like Margaret Hamilton did! These attempts at humor will be painfully
predictable from a mile away!
AUDIENCE collectively groans.

"Seventy-Six Trombones" is one of the catchiest songs ever. It never leaves your head. Especially when you want it to.

I never heard or saw Chitty until today, when I watched my DVD which I owned for a year but never opened.
"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" got stuck in my head and has been in there all day - and I don't know the damned lyrics!
I think the Sherman brothers are the song-writing teams best known for stuck-in-your-head showtunes.
"Supercalifragulisticexpealidious" or however its spelled, and "Chitty."
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 6/29/05 at 11:53pmI still have 'Merrily We Roll Along (1980)/ Rich and Happy' stuck in my head. Also 'Pandemonium' and 'I Speak Six Languages' is quite catchy as well. Avenue Q has a catchy score.

As far as my personal experience, "Master of the House" is unbelievably catchy. I was singing that song for weeks after the show and I still don't even know the words...but the tune...whoa. That sticks.
Also, on behalf of my friend, I second "Shakalaka Baby." She was singing it for months and we never even saw the show. Just walked past the theatre where they blared it during the day.

Ugh. I almost always have a showtune stuck in my head.
"Lonely Goatherd" from 'The Sound of Music' is one of those that stays for days...
"Wrong Note Rag" from 'Wonderful Town'... always. Ugh.
Most of 'Avenue Q' is pretty catchy.
"Popular" is one of those that you can listen to once, and three hours later you're banging your head against the wall, trying to get the "Laaa laa, laaa laaa"s out. Or is that just me?
There's gotta be more...

Posted: 6/30/05 at 12:46amI was originally thinking "Popular" from Wicked until I saw that someone had said "Seventy-Six Trombones" and it imediately started running through my head. That song stays in my head for days and days and days. I constantly find myself singing the words out loud, despite the fact that I don't know what comes after the coronet part.

I third 'You Can't Stop The Beat.'
I would hum that thing for days after hearing it. It was much more fun when I finally learned the words. Damn, I love that show.
OOO. 'Shakalakakakalakalkaalkalka Baby' sticks around, unfortunately, really easily too. Oh, Miss Tamyra Gray. Lordy.
i'm a tough act to follow because when i'm done i take the microphone with me.

Posted: 6/30/05 at 1:06amI'm going to add "La Vie Boheme" to the list.

Posted: 6/30/05 at 1:13amYou Can't Stop The Beat and What Is This Feeling? were the first two I thought of, but I agree with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
J'ai compris tous les mots, j'ai bien compris, merci.............
