I second "Little People." I love everything else about it, but whenever this song starts (actually, any time Gavroche sings) I just want to scream. And I'm going to add "A Change In Me" from B&TB. It serves no purpose other than to bring the show to a grinding halt. Plus, was it written off-key or is it just impossible to sing?
Clambake from Carousel! especially considering that it was meant to be This was a real nice Hayride from Oklahoma! Castle on a cloud irritates the bejeezus out of me The Rumour from Fiddler on the Roof...i hear topsy turvy is not much better. Send in the Clowns from ALNM...it's just this song is too overrated!
There was a song in ARI that was rhyming & I think it was about flowers or some such thing. Absolutely dreadful . Someone please explain to me what the hell "Send In The Clowns " means. It sounds nice but I have not got a clue what it means
I am probably going to slapped through cyber space, but I don't really like the song "A Little Priest" from Sweeney Todd. I think it tries TOO hard to be funny and it just gets annoying. Also, I hate how the words try so hard to rhyme with each other and I think that is how it is meant to be but I don't really like it (I do like the end of it though). Other than that, great musical.

I totally agree with THE RUMOR, and the even worse TOPSY TURVEY from FIDDLER. SOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!

That song "Ah, sweet mystery" something something "at last I've found you," or SOMETHING like that from MILLIE. I dont like MILLIE at all - I think it's a terrible show, but most of the music is good - that song it just terrible.

"Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" is by Victor Herbert, and while it originally comes from the operetta Naughty Marietta, was one of the great song hits of the early half of the last century. Its overwrought nature and feverish operatic swooning has made it an easy mark for comedy, and it has popped up in everything from Bugs Bunny cartoons to Young Frankenstein. By the time it was used in Thoroughly Modern Millie, the idea of employing it to comically suggest two people falling instantly and madly in love was a very old idea indeed.

oh, i'm sure there are plenty of you would say this is not a "classic amazing" show and that the entire score is bad, but i happen to like it ... so there.

When you go to a circus, and you are watching the tightrope walkers, it would be so easy for them to fall. Desiree is in that place in her life, she is the tightrope walker. When a tightrope walker falls, what does the Ringmaster do? He Sends in the Clowns. The Clowns are the Ringmasters way of distracting the public from the accident that has just befallen. Desiree has fallen, and someone could send in the clowns for her, but "don't bother, they're here." They have been sent...or the double meaning that one could glean (probably more obvious) is that Desiree and Fredrik are the clowns themselves. Whoever the Clowns may be, they serve the purpose of distracting the people around Desiree and Desiree herself from her true feelings. Updated On: 12/10/04 at 07:15 AM
Ah I was gonna say An ordinary Couple -Sound of Music. Wretched--it just goes on and on and on. Something Good from the movie is MUCH better (although I do like No Way to Stop it a lot)
good Send in the Clowns description tho' it's even simpler than that--in many old shows whenveer something would go wrong, or wasn't going over well with an audience, they'd simply send in the clowns to distract the audience.
"Something Bad".awful.. most of "Hairspray"...boring..everything sounds alike "A change in me" even more boring Everything from crap shows like "Mamma Mia" and "Bombay Dreams" "Edelweiss"..so cheesy
