David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 9/3/04 at 12:27amWell, cutiepie did mention "upbeat songs." From recent seasons, I like the recordings of The Full Monty, By Jeeves, Cabaret, Chicago, Millie, Urintown, and the Rocky Horror revival. Older, upbeat musicals include The Music Man, Hello Dolly, Mame, Guys and Dolls, Gypsy, Anything Goes, Can-Can, and Annie Get Your Gun. Rodger and Hart shows like Pal Joey and Babes in Arms are wonderful.
