"Tear It Up and Throw It Away" from Avenue Q is pure brilliance, and sounds JUST like a Sesame Street song.

"Then We Are Decided" from Jesus Christ Superstar was written for the movie and not the stage. That is why is not included in the show.

I'm pretty sure "The Man I Love" by the Gershwins was cut from something like FOUR Broadway shows! They finally just released it as a "trunk song" and it became a big hit. It was used in several films as well.

Two of my favorites are "It's Getting Hotter In the North" from Show Boat and "Silly People" from A Little Night music. I also love "The Kid Herself" from Flora The Red Menace, "You Gotta Pay For Love" from Catch Me If You Can, "Save your Applause For The End" from Hairspray and "Momma's Talkin' Soft" from Gypsy (I've always wondered why they never put it back in the show).

From film musicals I love "If I Never Knew You" from Pocahontas, the original ten minute version of "Human Again' from Beauty and the Beast, "Snuff Out The Light" from the early version of The Emperor's New Groove, and both "The Perfect Man" and "Tomorrow With Me" from the 1969 Goodbye Mr. Chips.

I love "Silly People," from A Little Night Music (cited several times here), and it did end up eventually in Marry Me A Little.

Another cut song I haven't seen mentioned is "Ten Percent" from Chicago.

I really love the song "Kiss It" from Grease when it played its original run in Chicago before moving to New York. I had the pleasure of seeing "The Original Grease" which was restaged in Chicago back in 2011. It was really neat!

"MORE GREAT CUT SONDHEIM SONGS!

I'm Like The Bluebird-cut from ANYONE CAN WHISTLE
Who Could be Blue-cut from FOLLIES
A Little House for Momma-cut from BOUNCE"

"I'm Like The Bluebird" wasn't cut from ANYONE CAN WHISTLE. It just wasn't recorded for reasons of length. It opens the show, after the Prelude, when the Narrator introduces The Cookies. It is later reprised when The Cookies are caught, and to introduce the new nurse.
