Your Favorite SONG on Broadway?

Posted: 1/29/07 at 9:38pm

To me this is tough....
It would be either:

*"You Can't Stop the Beat!" from HAIRSPRAY
*"Omigod You Guys" from LEGALLY BLONDE
*"So Much Better" from LEGALLY BLONDE
*"If Only" from THE LITTLE MERMAID

I can't choose between ONE song!!!

seriously, i'm having issues deciding which SA song is my favorite, because they are all that amazing..

but i am rather partial to..

don't do sadness
left behind
bitch of living
those you've known

and now that i think about it:

totally f*cked
mama who bore me (reprise)
all that's known
my junk
the dark i know well


see i told you i couldn't decide!

hear my song; it was made for the time when you don't know where to go, listen to the song that i sing, you'll be fine..

Okay so now I've gotten over the person who started the thread, it's actually not a bad subject...

I'd say my favorite song on Broadway right now is probably Being Alive, Another Winter in a Summer Town, or Left Behind.

Strange, "Left Behind" wasn't really one of my favorites from SA (it's great, just not my fave).

The B*tch of Living - SA
All That's Known - SA
Touch Me - SA
Pretty much the entire cast recording - SA
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - Mary Poppins
Popular - (disgustingly overdone, but it is a clever song)
Welcome to the 60's - Hairspray
Schadenfreude - Avenue Q

My Favorite Songs On Broadway:

The "I Love You" Song - 25th Annual
Better Fall Out Of Love - Grey Gardens

My Favorite Songs in General that were once on Broadway
It's Your Wedding Day and the Finale - The Wedding Singer
Great Big Stuff - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

I made a list of all your faults, it was quite detailed and lengthy too and when I read it through I missed you. Your like a classic Eagles song, you just cant help but sing along even though it sometimes gets annoying too. I just know I want to be wherever I can wake and see you there next to me. **High Fidelity** Love is what I do **The Wedding Singer** Xanadu - Best NEW Musical of the Season!

aand
B*tch of Living
My Junk
Left Behind
Totally F*cked
Those You've Known
Song of Purple Summer
(you know, just a couple more *g*)

but my favorite songs change depending on what phase I'm going through.. right now I'm deep into a major SA phase haha

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

"The Music of the Night" is my favourite Broadway song. Yeah, I realize that everyone hates TPOTO & ALW, but I like what I like, & I make no apologies for that. "I Wanna Be a Producer", "Stars", & "Being Alive" are also pretty cool.
