In no particular order:
  • Il Sogno di Volare - Saltimbanco (Cirque du Soleil)
    quite possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard
  • Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkle
    though I like Linda Eder's or David Campbell's version better
  • Hand Me the Wind and the Dice - Aspects of Love
    a song that wonderfully illustrates joie de vivre
  • Barcelona - Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé
    a stirring anthem
  • There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart) - Eurythmics
    a supreme exultation of happiness
  • It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back) - Eurythmics
    reassures that whatever has happened before, it'll get better
  • Here's Where I Stand - Camp
    this spunky girl takes life by the balls and demands her rightful place in the sun
  • Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
    I love driving while listening to this song!
  • The Curly Shuffle - Jump in the Saddle Band
    How can you not be happy when doing the Curly Shuffle?
  • Defying Gravity - Wicked
    I don't care what you say world, I'm doing things my way!
  • Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah - Fleet Street Singers
    their take on this song kicks much ass
  • Summer Nights - Grease
    best sing-along song ever?
  • The Time Warp - Rocky Horror
    I can't hear this song and not do the dance
  • Good Morning Baltimore - Hairspray
    a great way to start the day
  • The Sunken Cathedral - Claude Debussy
    runner up for must beautiful (and evocative) piece of music
  • Dancing Queen - ABBA
    who doesn't love a nice dancing queen?
  • The Impossible Dream - Man of La Mancha
    a classic stirring anthem
  • Every Sperm Is Sacred - The Meaning of Life
    a funny song on its own, but knowing I taught it to my little brother who then sang it at school, mortifying his elementary school teachers has cemented this song as a personal favorite
  • Kalimando - Mystère
    a simple, beautiful song that evokes a verdant paradise
  • There Once Was a Man - Pajama Game
    this could be in the list of most romantic songs, but its energy makes it so much fun to sing, I put it here too
  • I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General - The Pirates of Penzance
    any patter song that can rhyme "strategy" with "sat a gee" is Teh Awesome
  • Don't Whiz On the Electric Fence - You Eediot!
    come on, what's not to love about a song warning against electrocution via urination!?!
  • Pumping Iron - Starlight Express
    high-energy crowd-pleaser
  • I Like 'Em Big And Stupid - Julie Brown
    mmmmm, big and stupid......
