ouch to the west side story comment...but different opinions make the world more interesting!!

i dont know what the WORST is, but i definitley find the gas song from little shop to be annoying. i skip it every time.

edit- also there is no song called the most delightful thing in little women. there is "i'd be delighted" and "the most amazing thing"

neo, to each his own. I guess I just had some bad childhood experience with WSS that I can't recall. The only song I can listen to is "Somewhere".

I might be the only one in the world, but I can not stand "Tomorrow" from ANNIE. It's strident, loud, screamingly repetitious and drives me crazy.

Grizzabella, I don't hate "Tomorrow", as so much I am sick to death of it! We first got cable TV in 1980, and that song was the only thing WPIX would play during the commercials (New York loves ANNIE!") They played, EVITA, 42nd STREET, PETER PAN, and A CHORUS LINE as well, but none of them as much as ANNIE.

Rent!:

The song where Angel introduces himself. "Today 4 U." What a stupid song, it literally makes me embarassed (as do the following 2 songs.)

"Over The Moon"-the mooing is too much for me
And the one where they are having sex (I guess?). I cant even pick the title out of the list. I think it's rather pointless, and again embarassing. (As In I'm embarassed for the performers, and also when I'm listening to it in front of other people who don't know Rent.) I always skip over these songs as fast as friggin possible.

Oh and when Mimi moos at the end. Also thoroughly embarassing and stupid.

"Could You", "The Most Amazing Thing" and "I'd Be Delighted" from Little Women make me cringe. I also hate most of Evita and all of Sunset Boulevard.

OUCH! You're killing me!! Really though, I can understand being embaressed by Contact (the sex song you referred to) but everything else you mentioned makes perfect sense in the context of the show, but I admit may not come off as well when it's just plain listend to on cd. See the play and you'll get it!

I think Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote "Mr. Mistoffelees" just to make me want to shoot him.

Uhm, and "Neat to be Newsboy." It is a stupid song. Luckily the production of Working I was involved in got the most adorable little kid to sing it. People were too busy going "awwwwww" to realize he was singing utter crap.

I actually LOVE "Could You?". I don't know, I thought it was pretty good.


Dancing Through Life has ridiculous lyrics. The melody, I thought, was enjoyable. As someone said before, especially the "We deserve each other" harmonies.

Yep...Clambake takes the Cake. It's the worse one I can think of. Unless we're focusing on melodies...

Unless we're getting into Princess Diana the Musical territory.
