Yes they are overdone, but they are essential to the musical theatre world and it is just fun to pop it into your car and sing along. I didn't really like it until I was in it and then I couldn't get it out of my head. Love R&H, especially Oklahoma!, Sound of Music, and Flower Drum Song.
R&H just isn't my thing, that's all. And, there are some songs of theirs I like--"You'll Never Walk Alone," "Some Enchanted Evening," "Love Look Away," all of "Sound of Music"...I'm just not a huge fan.
And that is fine, Rose. I don't really like Sondheim (BLASPHEMY), even though I do like a few shows from him. Everyone has their own opinion and I respect yours.
OK, don't get me wrong. I love The Ladies Who Lunch from Company, but after, like, 1000 verses that all sound the same....in the voice....it gets EXTREMELY annoying!

my list is basically alot of things people have already said...
ANYTHING from Annie (god i hate that show...)
Most of the Birdie songs (we love you conrad.. KILL ME NOW)
Ioway from State Fair (that song was in my head for like a whole year after i did that show)
Fred (i think that's what it's called) from Once Upon a Mattress
Most songs from Oklahoma
Tango Maureen. I hadn't listened to it in maybe 5 years so I just played it to see if I still hated it as much and now I hate it even more.
Just about everything from Pipe Dream. One or two do make me laugh but...

Something bad definitely takes the cake--there's really nothing redeeming in that song at all...

There is no song in COMPANY called "Bobby Baby" is there? It's just a section of the title song, right?
You are correct. There is no song called Bobby Baby.
'Once Upon a Time' from Brooklyn. It is such cheese...and the last note is, in the words of Glinda, hideodeous.
There are some really bad ones out there. I really hate "Real Nice Clambake". you don't know the pain until you have to perform that number with the biggest smile on your face. I wanted to tear my hair + ribbons out.
THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LI-I-I-FE from APPLAUSE
omg it is terrible...and its gets like 4 reprises...and u hear the music start again and you just want to scream and run away.
also Jellicle Cats from Cats...
Bronx,

Oklahoma!
The Song and the entire show
shoot me

Maria, from West Side Story. I'm throwin' the toaster in the tub now . . .
I feel ya, paradox. And the girl playing Eve in our show is...well, typecast, if you get my drift. She can't even play herself well.

Tomorrow
An Ordinary Couple (The Sound of Music) - I think Something Good is so much better.
I'm Just a Little Sparrow (Christine - well, I find most of that score annoying)

Sh*t-a-poopi, I mean, Shipoopi from Music Man and Music of the Night

Seasons Of Love - Rent
I know that most people LOVE that song, but if I hear it one more time I'm going to shoot myself. I liked it maybe the first 1000 times I heard.
