Audra's "Beat My Dog"... it's HOT and sits well with my voice. It does, however, PISS ME OFF that it was super low when she sang it live, and when she finally recorded it, she brought it up. Damn her and her having to ALWAYS be the soprano. She has a hot lower range and should play up her blackness more often because its amazing.

here's a list of all the songs i am officially obsessed with...there are quite a few.
*popular* and *defying gravity* from wicked, just to be cliche *gimme gimme* from millie *everyone's a little bit racist* and *it sucks to be me* from avenue q *rose's turn* from gypsy *without love* and *welcome to the 60's* from hairspray *a call from the vatican* and *very unusual way* from nine *little shop of horrors* and *ya never know* from little shop, because the three urchins rock my world *i will never leave you* from side show *beautiful city* and *bless the lord* from the new godspell (barrett foa and shoshana bean are awesome) ANYTHING from zanna don't, rent, and the 42nd street revival some stuff from the new cast of FAME *let's hear it for the boy* from footloose, because i love random 80's music
*there must be thousands of other people, sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a star. but i'm not gonna worry about them, because i'm dreaming the hardest*
"Injun Gal Heap Hep" from RIDING HIGH, a rare 1943 musical film featuring Dorothy Lamour & Dick Powell. I had heard about this number for years and I got a bootleg VHS of it specifically to see it.
Words cannot describe the vision of Dorothy Lamour, in braids and a scanty buckskin costume crowned with a war headress of white and red plumes, jitterbugging in moccasins while singing such lyrics as: "Injun gal she catch on quick, digs the jive like a Harlem chick! Injun Gal - heap hep!" "Big Chief only want us - to dance like days of yore! But a re-tread Pochahontas - does a pow-wow boogie in a solid 'four'!" "No like wig wam, no like tom tom, no ride horsey...tune in Dorsey!"
Naturally, I completely memorized this number in ten minutes and can't get it out of my head.
Okay, anytime anyone just MENTIONS "I Will Never Leave You" in my presence it's stuck in my head for days. So, one... thank you for that... and sadly, the lyrics are so tedious and do NOT lie... they WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU. *cries and goes back into her little corner*

"I Have Dreamed" - Studio recording of THE KING AND I with Barbara Cook and Theodore Bikel. For the life of me, I can't remember who is singing Tuptim and Lun Tha. But it's a great orchestration.
Personally, there's no contest - it's "Nobody's Side" from Chess. I've heard the entire score countless times, but "Nobody's Side" (and "Lämna inga dörrar på glänt," which is pretty much the same) must rank in the thousands of listens. And I've never gotten sick of it. Weird, huh?
You Can't Stop the Beat Welcome to the 60's I Know Where I've Been - Hairspray River of Dreams/Keepin the Faith - Movin Out Anything from LSOH (esp. Suddenly Seymour and Ya Never Know)
i suppose i should add that my darling wife has programmed the cd player, the computers and all the stereos in the apartment to play "petrified" and "stranger in this world" from taboo on endless repeat. if i were more motivated i'd do something about it, but i kinda like how docile they make her...
