What is your favorite song?
I grew up watching this movie and the order of my favorites songs keep on changing. But these are my top 5 (for now).
1. "Till There Was You"
2. "Marian The Librarian"
3. "Pick a Little Talk a Little...Goodnight, Ladies"
4. "Shipoopi" (BTW The Family Guy version is hilarious)
5. "Gary, Indiana"
1 Trouble
2 Marian the Librarian
3 The Sadder but Wiser Girl
4 Till there was You
5 76 Trombones
It is not our abilities that show who we truly are...it is our choices
1. Trouble (intricate rhyme scheme + demonstrates Hill's power of persuasion)
2. Til There Was You (most beautiful of love songs)
3. Lida Rose/ Will I ever Tell You (awesome counterpoint!)
4. Sadder But Wiser Girl (advances plot and further defines character)
5. Rock Island (clever opening number, in syncopation with train, and sets up plot)
Anything Ronny Howard was singing!! He stole every scene he was in!!

When there are two, one betrays-Jean-Pierre Melville
Perhaps my favorite is the band a tusy playing. It sounds like the car wash in Willy Wonka. "That's my Davie!!!"

"Wells Fargo Wagon" when sung by Ronny Howard. :) I love "Marian", as well, but mostly because I remember my dad walking around the house singing along to that song on the record. ;)
Nobody's Perfect :)
1) 76 Trombones, (I played it incessantly when a kid- or at least my Mom played it for me by moving the needle back to that point in the record.)
2) Till There was You. One of the loveliest love songs ever.
3) Good night my someone. Sets up the romance perfectly.
4) Marian the Librarian. A clever dance routine to go with it.
5) Gary, Indiana. Imagine someone making a song out of a city's name.
The past is a series of presents. The present is living history we are privileged to witness
I've always had a soft spot for the Lida Rose/Sweet and Low medley.
We provide ... Leverage.
I should have also mentioned The Sadder but Wiser Girl for Me. That song sets up the delicious irony, that Hill sets his cap for Marion because he believed the rumors about her, when she really is that innocent girl that he warns against in the song.
We provide ... Leverage.
So many, and in no particular order:
Marian the Librarian - my 17 year old saw it for the first time last night and almost lost it at "Marshmallow?" out of left field.
Wells Fargo Wagon
76 Trombones
Shipoopi
Pick a Little Talk a Little
the song on the train by the salesmen
T and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pool!

''Till there was you''. And ''Marian The Librarian''. But, really, every single one is a gem.
shareLida Rose/Sweet and Low - the whole visual as well as harmonic arrangement
Marion
Till There Was You
The Sadder But Wiser Girl
Gary Indiana - but not necessarily so much for the song as for the relationship that builds between Widow Peroo and Harold; and later how Winthrop directs his sister and mom (a sign of Ron Howard's later profession?)
