"The rap Hava Nagila is possibly the worst number ever on Broadway." — Page 2

Lol--my high school did this show in the 80's. I believe some of the lyrics were "Although she looks like Venus, she may infect your penis" And "You don't want to dance the VD polka!""

I can't find the lyrics on-line, but I'm trying to remember if 'penis' was sung aloud or if they did something else. Not sure this would fly today. Oh, the 80's."

Found this--perhaps we just added the other line. "

Though she may look like Venus...

She might not be the cleanest!"

I hope I'm not the only one here who saw the infamous "shoe number" in Spider-Man before it was cut.

Deeply Furious! I saw that. LOL Yes, that does indeed rank up there, if not for the worst, the most WTF numbers of all-time.

Everything in Disaster was ... a disaster. That was the point. They were all in on the joke.

I feel the same way with Gettin the Band Back Together. Sure it's still a hot mess of a show - cartoon sets for no reason - but that song is meant to be cringy and funny. And that's what it is.

I have to say that I immediately thought of that song as well. I can't believe that Disney hasn't tried to come up with a better number that that since it opened. It is atrociously bad (and I didn't hate Frozen -- I found it mildly diverting, if mediocre).

There are so many candidates for worst. Some of the shows were so awful, and the songs so instantly dismissable, I wouldn't waste my time even thinking about them. Re generally good shows, I would certainly ask everyone to remember some of the filler songs in Billy Elliott, especially those early in Act 1...I don't even remember their names; I just remember wondering why so much colorless filler so early in the show. I also think there are a couple of real clinkers in Wicked, particularly the one with Dr. Dillamond (I have blocked it out, so I don't remember the title).

The hippie send-up from Henry Sweet Henry, "Weary Near To Dyin'", comes immediately to mind, the printed lyrics are (literally) something like "beep boop oh wup lu lu lu lu zee bee zee wup lu lu lu".

The rap Hava Nagila may, arguably, be the worst number on Broadway. But I thought it was the best part of that awful show.

I'd say it's worse, because Good Morning Starshine is a much better song, and, as cheesy as it is, Hair was earnest in its use of hippie phraseology and ideology, while HSH's was a limp (at best) satire, though I'm sure the Bennett choreography was superb.
