Master of the house
quick to catch yer eye
Never wants a passerby to pass him by
Servant to the poor, butler to the great
Comforter, philosopher and life long mate...
Oh, and the other one:
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in love
I do believe in love
I believe that now is a time for all good men to believe in love...
I guess that depends on which arrangement you hear of "I Believe in Love," but the one they did at Encores! was so damn catchy.

"The Game" - Damn Yankees
"The Rain in Spain" - My Fair Lady
"You Did It" - My Fair Lady (Oh my lord. When I was in this show, all it took for this song to get stuck in my head for HOURS at a time was for someone in passing to say "you did it," and they didn't even have to be talking to me)
"Fabulous Feet" - The Tap Dance Kid
"Go Into Your Dance" - 42nd Street
Lately, "The Gods Love Nubia" from Aida has been stuck in my head CONSTANTLY but I don't know how much of that is about it being catchy and how much of that is about being a Nubian in that show.

ANYTHING from La Cage! I've had "With Ann On My Arm" stuck in my head from the minute I walked out of church this morning. Don't know why. Yesterday it was "La Cage Aux Folles" and "Put A Little More Mascara On."
Other candidates: "Oh What a Beautiful Morning"; and "Oklahoma" from Oklahoma; "America" and "I Feel Pretty" from WWS.
I guess that's a lot of tunes, but they all get in my head and require divine intervention to dislodge.

"Popular" - Wicked
I've known people who have only heard the song once, but will spend the next few days walking around singing the "pop-u-ler" part.

Posted: 7/4/05 at 10:42amSorry, this may be a tad late, but shouldn't it be "catchiest" instead of "most catchy"?

Aigoo, I am myself a grammar fiend, but I am unsure of "catchiest" or "most catchy." The general rule in English is that if the word contains two or more syllables, it is proceeded by "most." According to this rule, it would be "most catchy."
I also agree with "You Can't Stop the Beat." What do you think of "Willkommen" from Cabaret? Whenever I hear that song I can't get it out of my head.
