I love "A Heart Full Of Love." But maybe that's because I adore Michael Ball, and Marius and Cosette's courtship was one of my favourite parts of the book. Also, I've only seen the more recent versions, where the whole "Heart Full of Love" scene is really awkward and funny.
However, there is one song from Les Miserables that I just can't bring myself to like-- "Dog Eats Dog." And Thenardier is my favourite character in the musical!
I definitely agree with those songs from Wicked. Other ones:
"You Were Meant For Me" from "Singin' In The Rain". At least, I think that's what it's called. The one where Don's in the studio with Kathy and is putting on all the special effects. Ugh, mind-numbingly boring.
The whole "Out Of My Dreams" sequence, with prolonged ballet, in "Oklahoma."
"Chow Down" from "The Lion King."
"The Contest" from "The Little Mermaid."
"Miss Baltimore Crabs" from Hairspray (and, in terms of the film version, for some reason I always get bored at Queen Latifah's version of "I Know Where I've Been," which is a song that I otherwise love).
"The Contest" from Sweeney Todd. Especially in the film. To a lesser extent, "Ladies In Their Sensitivities" because you're sitting there waiting for the "Kiss Me" Quartet to start up again, but the Beadle usually has such an awesome voice that it doesn't matter.
Awww, Harvard Variations is one of my favourite songs from "Legally Blonde." But I do feel like about half the songs from that musical are total clunkers. The show has several pretty good songs, and several completely forgettable songs that prolong a scene to a ridiculous extent.
In my pants, she has burst like the music of angels, the light of the sun! --Marius Pantsmercy
