Show Tunes..... oh go on there must be at least one!

[Muban]

I must admit in my broad and varied taste in music there is a special place for show tunes. I just can't help it, they write them like that on purpose! Those not always, but often cheesy tunes that you can't help belting out when you hear them. Tell me I'm not alone, everyone must have at least one show tune they love (or is it just some girls and gay men ;D). I'm sure at least one person who frequents these forums admitted before that they really rather liked a good show tune.

The Money Song (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rkRIbUT6u7Q)
Cell Block Tango (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=M4_H65XoykY)
Oom-Pah-Pah (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wQjtMJ14gzc)
Big Spender (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=C0MZXWKEkIE)

Go on what's your show tune.... or if you like them as much as me... tunes! :)

The Internet is for Porn :o:evil:

Well it's the only show I've seen and it kinda stuck in my (filthy) mind!

[Belmit]

Is there a specific definition of a 'show tune', or can it be any song from a piece of musical theatre or film?

I'd offer:

Anything from Bugsy Malone
Loads from Dr. Dolittle inc. 'My Friend the Doctor', 'Beautiful Things'. 'I've Never Seen Anything Like It', 'Talk to the Animals'...
'Consider Yourself' from Oliver!
'Hushabye Mountain', 'Toot Sweets' and others from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
'Pure Imagination', 'I've Got a Golden Ticket' and 'Candyman' from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

And I know everyone loves a bit of 'Step In Time' from Mary Poppins. :D

Blues Brothers - Shake a Tail feather - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7lwcjNaH_A

Good shout, I think pretty much anything in The Blues Brothers would work really. :)

As for me, this has to be one of my favourite musical scenes in any film ever. The Replacements version of I Will Survive (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=R9LhScThq84&feature=related). I'm not even particularly keen on the song but I can't help smiling every time I watch it.

'It's easy, mmmkay'
'What would Brian Boitano Do?'
'I'll Never Tell' from the Buffy episode Once More, With Feeling

<whistles&twirls umbrella>

[Roberta]

I could stay home every niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
Wait around for MR RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
Take cold showers every day, and throw my life away,
On a dream that won't come true...

[Roberta]

You and me. Karaoke. Yes.

[Roberta]

We'd get thrown out for hogging it!
