I adore "Poor Baby"!
The most annoying song is easily "Heart," from Damn Yankees. How many friggin' reprises of that awful stuff can you have? Oh. My. God.
Bobby Baby? I love it.
I also love Poor Baby, Plum.
Even if I didn't love it, I certainly wouldn't say it's the most annoying song in any musical ever written.
GETTING TO KNOW YOU and WHISTLE A HAPPY TUNE!!!!!!!!!!
I can't think too clearly right now, but that is the first one to pop into my head. And it wouldn't be so bad if that song didn't play 500 times (exageration) during the course of the cast recording. LOVE company, hate that song.
I second "Bobby Baby" ::Shudders::
"Little Known Facts" from YAGMCB also annoys me beyond all reason...
I know I'll think of more later...
Any song from THE MUSIC MAN!!! Ugh...
Also "Defying Gravity" cuz' I mean, c'mon... it's overplayed on the showtunes channel on my TV and it's just obnoxious as people here have stated...

I'd vote for 'There is Nothin Like a Dame' from South Pacific.
I vote for "Pick-a-little, Talk-a-little" from Music Man
I hated that part (Alma Hix) and that show.

Shaiman's version is good, though.
I love Shaiman's version. Everytime I am in a bad mood I watch it and it gives me a smile (especially now since I know who he is talking about )
Mine would be "Some Enchanted Evening"....oy!

There are a few annoying songs but one that comes to the top of my head is Something Bad from Wicked (and I love that show too!)
That whole BA-a-a-d is really cheezey

"The Rain in Spain" from My Fair Lady always gets to me...
I LOVE PICK-A-LITTLE! The song that pisses me off is anything from Beauty and the Beast.
Tony Awards Haven
I find most songs from COMPANY to be the most annoying.
Another Hundred People
Barcelona
(and of course) Bobby Baby
...shall I go on? No? Point made?
Okay.
OMG Rathnait. I LOVE COMPANY. I love the whole "Bobby Baby" thing. They could have cut it down a bit throught the show, but it symbolizes the whole affection and attention he gets from these people, which is consistent. The only song I dislike from COMPANY is "Barcelona".
Wait, whats the Shaiman version?
I'd love to hear that...
Popular-wicked
Its annoying, but it is really an ear worm :-P
How Lucky You Are from Seussical. In fact, pretty much everything from Seussical except Notice Me Horton.
The one song that gets to me is "Angel of Music" I just really hate the lyrics. The music is blah. But I hear it and it's like "No more. PLease."

Mine is ABSOLUTELY "A Moment of Happiness" from Cats. I think it begins the second act. A moment of happiness??? When that song started, I felt so depressed, I wanted to shoot out the doors of the Wintergarden and throw myself in front of a taxi.
