I grew up with the Julie Andrews movie musicals, and knew every song off by heart. "Spoonful of Sugar", "Feed the Birds" and "Do Re Mi" are definitely my favourites! 🎵❣️
Christmas is not Christmas for me unless I watch Mary Poppins. I know it's not a Christmas movie but it's a tradition......Sound of Music at Easter too for some reason.
left out: Caberet (Caberet), Getting to Know You (The King and I), Shall We Dance (The King and I), I Feel Pretty (West Side Story), Springtime For Hitler (The Producers), Do You Hear the People Sing (Les Mis), I Am What I Am (La Cage aux Folles), Yankee Doodle Dandy (Yankee Doodle Dandy), and that's just off the top of my head. I think you need to do another Top 50 catchiest songs from Classic Movie Musicals.
"If they could see me now" from Sweet Charity "Seventy-Six Trombones" from Music Man "I"m just a girl who can't say no" from Oklahoma "I'm going to wash that man right out of my hair" from South Pacific "Getting to know you" from King and I "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess "One" from Chorus Line "It's Delovely" from Anything Goes "All that Jazz" from Chicago Just to name a few. I'm not a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber but I'm sure other people who are would have some add ons from some of his hit musicals as well.
I couldn't let this lie. Absolutely! While in the shower, I have never sung 'Steppin' Out With my Baby' from Easter Parade. I HAVE however sung the titular 'Easter Parade'. So I give Mojo's list about a 4 out of 10. Nor, while in the shower, have I ever sung New York New York or even Ease on Down the Road or anything from Willy Wonka. With about half an hour of Googling, I came up with my own list of additions that are actually good shower songs. Mojo, you've got to at least consider: Tonight - West Side Story On the Street Where You Live - My Fair Lady Edelweiss - The Sound of Music Hello Dolly - Hello Dolly Wouldn't It Be Loverly - My Fair Lady Show Me - My Fair Lady The Rain in Spain - My Fair Lady Get Me to the Church on Time - My Fair Lady How are things in Glocca Morra - Finnegan's Rainbow Ding Dong the Witch is Dead - The Wizard of Oz At the End of the Day - Les Miserables Master of the House - Les Miserables Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' - Oklahoma Put on a Happy Face - Bye Bye Birdie What a Feeling - Flashdance Together Wherever We Go - Gypsy Fame - Fame Money Makes the World Go Round - Cabaret Chim Chim Cheree - Mary Poppins
Can't agree on the Oklahoma song. It could have been catchy, but the character just looked too damn depressing throughout the whole film. Nothing she did was catchy. The girl who played the part in the high school summer stock production I was in did a better job than Gloria did in the film.
I can’t believe “Do-Re-Mi” is so low in the list. That song is beyond iconic (more than some of the songs in the top 10, for which people can’t even name the relative musical), it deserves a spot in the top 5 if not top 3.
Which of other songs is sung at school all over the world❓ Do is from Donut 🍩 Re is from lemon(For Japanese people, L and R sound same) 🍋 Mi is from minna(everyone)... 👩🏻🤝👨🏼👩🏻🤝👩🏼👬🏾...
"It's hard to imagine a more fun time than tap dancing with Gene Kelly." I'm pretty sure Debbie Reynolds could list a million more things more fun than that.
Julie Andrews may very well possibly be one of the greatest things to have happened to mankind. Her rendition of "Something Good" alongside Christopher Plummer is certainly one of my favourite moments in film.
It's actually not a rendition. Richard Rogers wrote it specifically for the film along with I Have Confidence. The former is to replace An Ordinary Couple from the original musical while the latter was requested by Robert Wise to take Maria from the abbey to the the Von Trapp residence.
“Time Warp” deserved to be in the list (and is, imho is a classic,) but there could only be 20, so there you go. I think that “the sun will come out tomorrow” is more iconic in Annie, but that’s splitting hairs. I agree with the general consensus that “somewhere over the rainbow” and “rainbow connection” should be included. There’s just so many great songs from musicals, it’s hard to narrow them down
Yeah will always be my favorite. I used to watch it over & over. Lol. I think they should've had "Moses" on a list. Love that song/scene. But yeah whenever it rains I end up "Singin' in the rain". Lol. And some of my friends who aren't into musicals even know that one.
The Sherman Brothers were geniuses Calamity Jane and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers should have been on the list Fred Astaire - It's a boater, not a top hat Fun Fact: Topol had a fever temperature of almost 100C during "Rich Man" and Gene Kelly in "Singin' In The Rain"
my great granny introduced me to musicals anytime i'd visit her(she lived right behind me) the majority of the time she'd be watching a muscial of some sort. She died a year ago, I miss you and love you granny.
Interesting fact about the day they filmed "Singin' the Rain": Gene Kelly was suffering from the flu when he did it. He had a temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit. And he still allowed them to get him soaking wet when they filmed it. That's dedication!
How's about these songs be classic and catchy from movie musicals: 1. Movin' Right Along- The Muppet Movie (1979) 2. The Happiness Hotel- The Great Muppet Caper (1981) 3. I'm Gonna Always Love You- The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) 4. Hosanna- Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) 5. Let's Hear it for the Boy- Footloose (1984) 6. Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)- The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
For me, born in '84 in Portugal and first exposed to "The Sound of Music" at a very young age (about 6/7), I can never forget that. It is so foundational to me. Everything about t was so amazing: the wonderful music and lyrics, learning about all the similarities and analogies between myself/my family and the von Trapps, learning about people outside my immediate proximity, learning English and how English could meld into wonderful melodies and English, learning about Austria and Germany and WWII (which I was to process over the course of many, many years) and everything together building an awareness that the World was much more wide than the immediate vicinity of my parents and my family and my town - all this melding with the riveting Music and song.... The US have truly made a huge contribution to Humanity, no matter how many problems they have (which have been under scrutiny in recent decades but really are the same that Humanity have always had). I'm thankful to all the creators that have made all this possible. FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY Mary Poppins! When I was young some of the lyrics were hard to understand but through the years all those melodies and lyrics and situations in life were so remarkable to me. Not to mention, OMG, the animated characters are interacting with the real actors?? OMG THIS IS MAGICAL AND AWESOME! EDIT: yep, in retrospect, I got a thing for the lovely Julie Andrews! And I'm, proud I do, too!
@@emmyjorgeguineve7033 You sadly need to follow that up with John 5:29, because Christopher in interviews stated he was an enthusiastic sinner for most of his life, and also an adulterer. Everyone will indeed be raised, but not all to glory....
I was so happy to realize that “Fiddler on the roof” was even on this list. Im only 14 but I grew up watching these old movies and this brought back so many memories
I cannot believe it either. I would have put that at number one. I even love how its infectiousness is acknowledged in-universe. It starts out with two guys singing in a storeroom, and next thing you know, the ENTIRE FREAKING TOWN has joined in and is parading down the streets along with them.
I love all the songs from the original "Mary Poppins". The dancing was amazing, too. I watched that movie about a million times when I was a kid. One of my all-time favorites. I watched "Oliver" a lot, too, during that time period. That has a lot of great songs, too. "Annie" is a classic as well.
Those are definitely three of my favorites. I still know some of the songs. TH-cam keeps offering me different variations of Annie to watch on TH-cam. Some of the non-professional ones are really good. (The ones that have a kid playing Sandy, for instance. Clever and funny and fun.)
I know that when they went all the way through number 18 without so much as mentioning that the music was written by the Sherman brothers, same guys behind Mary Poppins.
Súpercalifragilisticexpialidocious is the iconic and awesome catching song ever of Marry Poppins when we can see Mary Poppins and his friends song the classic and iconic in the movie
I've seen most of these movies. My aunt made sure I knew all the classic movie musicals when I was a kid. I'm surprised there is nothing from Cabaret on here. Liza Minelli was so good!
And Gene Kelly was sick with a cold or the flu when he did that "Singin' in the Rain" number. The man always gave his absolute best, no matter what. Thanks for this great clip reel! What fun to relive the joy of seeing and hearing these wonderful songs!
He caught a serious infection due to the drenching he got in multiple takes of the number. He ended up in hospital for a couple of days after the scene was filmed.
@@scwinget8528 they always prerecord the songs first, especially back then. Movie Les Miserables was the first time it was done live (except for the opening number because.... of the water).
Whenever I hear that song I am surprised it does not come out something else. I wonder how many takes it took to record that song! ROTF LMAO It is very easy to mispronounce!
Walt Disney’s favorite was “Feed the Birds (Tuppence a Bag).” So much so, that he had it played at every meeting. My most catchy song is “Que Sera, Sera” by Doris Day from The Man Who Knew Too Much, not necessarily a musical, but about the most catchy song by a songstress not to even appear on this list. Judy Garland’s “Trolley Song,” from the great “Meet Me In Saint Louis” ought to be number one on this list, at least according to my daughters. Then she tops it off with one of the most memorable Christmas songs of all time, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” that will make the coldest of souls melt to tears.
Another catchy song from a non-musical movie is Frank Sinatra singing High Hopes from A Hole in the Head. I seem to remember that it's the only "silly song" to win an Oscar
From Easter Parade, I would say "A Couple of Swells" is more memorable than "Stepping Out" - My Fair Lady "The Rain in Spain" - Hello Dolly "Hello Dolly". But with 20 or even 30 songs, you could never truly get all the greats.
@@manuelorozco7760 Do you know the cast? Who’s gonna play Rita? She’s half the fun in the movie, if she’s cast wrongly the movie is gonna turn into another Cats.
As much as I love "I could of danced all night", the most catchy song in My Fair Lady is "I'm getting married in the moring". Also where is "You got trouble" or "Shapoopi" from The Music Man.
@@petereggers7603 For me, the My Fair Lady soundtrack is one of those soundtracks where every song is an absolute winner. The same goes for South Pacific, and probably a few others as well that I can't think of off the top of my head.
You characterize A Spoonful of Sugar" as lovely and healing. Healing, perhaps, cheery? Certainly, even sprightly. But for lovely from that film - "Feed the Birds". _That_ is lovely.
We’re off to see the wizard in The Wizard of Oz 1939 is the prettiest and awesome catching song in them all the time in the universe of The Wizard of Oz
The list needs to be subdivided by either era or genre. You truly can't compare songs from the musicals of the 40s and 50s to those of the 60s and later. Plus, some songs are catchy, but others delve deeper into your heart. How would you compare the Oompa Loompa tunes to Camelot's "If Ever I Would Leave You"? Can't be done!
I love the Fiddler on the Roof. My mom did too when she was alive. She says that the scene where Tevye’s last daughter elopes with a non Jewish man reminds of how she and my dad eloped at the courthouse on January 28th, 1987.
I was wondering all through the list whether they'd pick Bless Your Beautiful Hide, Going Courtin' or the Sobbin' Women... and they didn't pick any of them?!
Calamity Jane! Such a great movie musical, and who could go past "Anything you can do I can do better". Seven Brides for Seven Brothers also has some great songs which deserve a place on the list.
Cell Block Tango from Chicago There's No Business Like Show Business' titular song I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair from South Pacific Shall We Dance from The King & I ^Definitely need to be in this list
I was also going to suggest "There's No Business Like Show Business" However it is from the musical "Annie Get Your Gun". Another I thought of - "It's a Grand Night for Singing" which is a Rogers/Hammerstein hit song from "State Fair".
I'm amazed that none of the songs from The Music Man didn't make it! Also, "Sobbin' Women" from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a really good one too! You could have left Grease off, though I love it too. It's from the late 70s and isn't really a "classic" like the others. Alot of people forget about The Unsinkable Molly Brown too.
Oh, I love that song! It’s so good, and I love how it feeds into White Christmas. Also, let’s not forget, the “Sisters” song. I love the parody with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. ♥️
I love the songs you've chosen, but I'm so disappointed that nothing from The Music Man made the list. It's always been my favorite, and there are several great "ear worm" songs to choose from (76 Trombones, You Got Trouble, Shipoopy).
Agree, I already posted same and then saw you beat me to it. What a great Musical and maybe it will show up on Fathom Events again and we can see it on the silver screen!
"The catchiest songs from classic film musicals gave broadway a run for its money." You do realize that most of the songs on your list originated Broadway, don't you?
Musicals I would have included: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Les Miserables, Muppet Treasure Island (LOL), Pete's Dragon, Phantom of the Opera, and The Producers. If we include modern musicals and movies that just have song and dance numbers here and there, I would also include: The Birdcage, Cry Baby, The Greatest Showman, Labyrinth, Mamma Mia, Moulin Rouge, Pitch Perfect 1-3, Rock of Ages, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Selena, Spice World, and Teen Witch.
A great list. Rita Moreno is an EGOT winner (Emmy, Oscar, Grammy, Tony) one of only 16 in history. She sizzles in "America." Of course, there is nothing like Gene Kelly singing in the rain. I'm not sure how Audry Hepburn got on the list with a dubbed in voice when there are singers like Barbara Streisand.
Honorable mentions: 1. Luck be a lady tonight - guys and dolls 2. Go home with Bonnie Jean- brigadoon 3. It's may/Camelot-Camelot 4. Mamma Mia- mamma mia 5. 76 trombones- the music man
Yeah! I was surprised they didn't include more modern movie musicals like Mama Mia, Hairspray, Rent, Chicago, The Producers, etc. That's not to say their list was bad, they're all amazing
I may have only seen the Sound of Music once in my entire life, but I did get the opportunity to sing My Favorite Things for a choir concert solo in high school.
@@kristagarfield1893 I know lots of people (almost all of the female persuasion) who also have told me that they have watched the film hundreds of times! I remember that where I lived in eastern Delaware County (PA) there were a few cinemas, all with a single screen at the time, and “The Sound of Music” instead of playing for two weeks or even a month played for half a year at one of them!
This must've been a tough list to compile, cuz I can think of a ton more: "Trouble" & "Wells Fargo Wagon" from The Music Man, "All That Jazz" from Chicago, half of the Jesus Christ Superstar sound track, "Impossible!" from Cinderella . . .
I know not many people have heard of The Slipper and the Rose, but the Oscar-nominated "He/She Danced With Me" is somewhat catchy and has been stuck in my head occasionally.
Turns out that you can read the lyrics of "If I Were a Rich Man" almost directly out of Sholom Alechim's short novel "Tevye and his Daughters." That's how fine he was as a writer.
What about Robert Preston's Seventy-six trombones from "The music man", Richard Harris "Camelot", "I wonder what the simple folks do" from the movie Camelot, My Fair Lady's "Get Me to the Church On Time", Man of La Mancha's "I am, Don Quixote", there are hundreds you couldn't fit in an hour.. Nevertheless, Kudos for the selection.
I've got a wonderful feeling everything's going my way... I think I made my kids hate that one. I used to sing that to them in the morning to get them up for school. 🤣
Fun fact! Poor Gene Kelly, While filming this shot during singing in the rain; had a fever of around 103 or so and still did the entire "singing in the rain" number in singing in the rain.
Ease On Down and most of the color songs from The Wiz were in the song lineup for my Dance Recital version back in 2013. Since then, the tune has popped into my head every now and again even though I’ve never seen the original film.
I grew up with the Julie Andrews movie musicals, and knew every song off by heart. "Spoonful of Sugar", "Feed the Birds" and "Do Re Mi" are definitely my favourites! 🎵❣️
Christmas is not Christmas for me unless I watch Mary Poppins. I know it's not a Christmas movie but it's a tradition......Sound of Music at Easter too for some reason.
I prefer Mary Poppins over Sound of Music. Throughly Modern Millie surprisingly underwhelmed me
@@manuelorozco7760 Opposite for me. I grew up with Sound of Music and it's my preferred movie.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 To each their own
Us too and we are 21Century kids (Grown)

I think you need to do another Top 50 catchiest songs from Classic Movie Musicals.
@Alexander Fulda I'd probably say Sweeny Tood may be too new, but I agree Rocky Horror should have made the list.
No Hello Dolly either.... 🙁
And then define what is a classic movie musical... some of these songs are from a theater musical and were never in a movie.
"Over There" From Yankee Doodle Dandy
Getting to Know You is a hardcore earworm!
They should do top 10 Julie Andrews musicals
Or top 20
You are correct my friend
Shortest. List. Ever.
Amen!
They really should do Top 10 Julie Andrews musicals🎤🎶🎥🎬📺🖤!
I think the song "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" and "I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair", and "Marian" should at least get honorable mention.
"Tomorrow" from ANNIE?! Everybody knows that one even if they're not a musical fanatic. Same goes for "I Feel Pretty" (given a mention here)
Funfact...sondheim has always hated I feel pretty
Tomorrow is not exactly a catchy song in my opinon..most of these songs have lots of dancing with them Tomorrow does not have that feel
Im with you. "Tomorrow" should have been on the list.
@@annhumphrey5232 also Jay-Z did hard knock life and then Austin Powers did Hard knock life in the 3rd movie.
Absolutely missing
"Oh What a Beautiful Morning" from Oaklahoma! and "You Go Trouble" from Music Man
"If they could see me now" from Sweet Charity
"Seventy-Six Trombones" from Music Man
"I"m just a girl who can't say no" from Oklahoma
"I'm going to wash that man right out of my hair" from South Pacific
"Getting to know you" from King and I
"Summertime" from Porgy and Bess
"One" from Chorus Line
"It's Delovely" from Anything Goes
"All that Jazz" from Chicago

Nor, while in the shower, have I ever sung New York New York or even Ease on Down the Road or anything from Willy Wonka.

Tonight - West Side Story
On the Street Where You Live - My Fair Lady
Edelweiss - The Sound of Music
Hello Dolly - Hello Dolly
Wouldn't It Be Loverly - My Fair Lady
Show Me - My Fair Lady
The Rain in Spain - My Fair Lady
Get Me to the Church on Time - My Fair Lady
How are things in Glocca Morra - Finnegan's Rainbow
Ding Dong the Witch is Dead - The Wizard of Oz
At the End of the Day - Les Miserables
Master of the House - Les Miserables
Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' - Oklahoma
Put on a Happy Face - Bye Bye Birdie
What a Feeling - Flashdance
Together Wherever We Go - Gypsy
Fame - Fame
Money Makes the World Go Round - Cabaret
Chim Chim Cheree - Mary Poppins
Wonderful suggestions!

I love Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim.
I think Feed The Birds from Marry Poppins should at least be on an honourable mention on this list. It’s a classic!
I was thinking the same thing then I read your comment!
.
I can’t believe “Do-Re-Mi” is so low in the list. That song is beyond iconic (more than some of the songs in the top 10, for which people can’t even name the relative musical), it deserves a spot in the top 5 if not top 3.
Then there’s the fact that almost every music major across the country uses it in our voice classes.
@@anodein82 Exactly. How it didn’t even make top 10 is ridiculous.
That song gets stuck in my head worse than any other. I hear part of it and I can't stop singing it for the next month.
Exactly
Which of other songs is sung at school all over the world❓
Do is from Donut 🍩
Re is from lemon(For Japanese people, L and R sound same) 🍋
Mi is from minna(everyone)... 👩🏻🤝👨🏼👩🏻🤝👩🏼👬🏾...
Julie Andrews the best voice ever The Sound of Music the best movie
"It's hard to imagine a more fun time than tap dancing with Gene Kelly."

Debbie Reynolds and LOTS of people who worked with him can probably think of something more fun as well, from what I've heard...

Julie Andrews may very well possibly be one of the greatest things to have happened to mankind. Her rendition of "Something Good" alongside Christopher Plummer is certainly one of my favourite moments in film.
Actually, Mr. Plummer didn't sing in the film; his vocals were dubbed by studio musician Bill Lee!
Yes her and Betty White are absolute treasures😊
@@allenjones3130true, but now you can here Christopher Plummer's original vocals from the film.

"You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" from Annie is frowning
Love that song!!!!
I actually like that one more, I sing along to it every time. Let's go to the movies is really good too!
This and Tomorrow r perfection incarnate
That’s the one that always gets stuck in my head.
“Time Warp” deserved to be in the list (and is, imho is a classic,) but there could only be 20, so there you go.

Time Warp was good, but Sweet Transvestite was GREAT!
Meatloaf and Hot Patootie.
I think their definition of catchy meant that they would be more upbeat songs, ones you could even dance to.
1000% agreed!!!!!!
Four words...
"Where's 'The Time Warp'???"
RIGHT?? Or at least any song from Rocky Horror
It's probably the only song from a musical you will hear played at a party.

How's about these songs be classic and catchy from movie musicals:
1. Movin' Right Along- The Muppet Movie (1979)
2. The Happiness Hotel- The Great Muppet Caper (1981)
3. I'm Gonna Always Love You- The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
4. Hosanna- Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
5. Let's Hear it for the Boy- Footloose (1984)
6. Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)- The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Yes! Someone else who mentioned Muppet Movies! I added “Rainbow Connection “ as my favorite even if it’s not catchy.
Damn happy someone mentioned the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
I would add "Pinball Wizard" from Tommy ... surprised it wasn't on the list.
Although I love it, I don't think I would consider footloose a musical.

Aw, "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" is not even an honorable mention. It was so catchy, Pixar used it for Wall-E.
YES I WAS GONNA SAY THAT
Anything from Hello Dolly is catchy and memorable.

Those are definitely three of my favorites.
I still know some of the songs.
TH-cam keeps offering me different variations of Annie to watch on TH-cam.
Some of the non-professional ones are really good.
(The ones that have a kid playing Sandy, for instance. Clever and funny and fun.)
I know that when they went all the way through number 18 without so much as mentioning that the music was written by the Sherman brothers, same guys behind Mary Poppins.
Súpercalifragilisticexpialidocious is the iconic and awesome catching song ever of Marry Poppins when we can see Mary Poppins and his friends song the classic and iconic in the movie
I've seen most of these movies. My aunt made sure I knew all the classic movie musicals when I was a kid. I'm surprised there is nothing from Cabaret on here. Liza Minelli was so good!
Let's Do The Time Warp Again! definitely, and Good Morning As Well.
I started drifting away from the narration as soon as she called a boater a "top hat".
I’m not sure Ms Mojo knows what the word “catchy” means.
yes they do you just dont know what a catchy song is
@@jimbo9208 I have to agree with you on that.
No I think you don't.
Exactly
And Gene Kelly was sick with a cold or the flu when he did that "Singin' in the Rain" number. The man always gave his absolute best, no matter what. Thanks for this great clip reel! What fun to relive the joy of seeing and hearing these wonderful songs!
He caught a serious infection due to the drenching he got in multiple takes of the number. He ended up in hospital for a couple of days after the scene was filmed.
He did always give his best, but even if he gave only fifty per cent, it would still have been miles better than anyone else (except maybe Fred).
I wonder if they recorded his singing "live" or if he dubbed it later?
@@scwinget8528 they always prerecord the songs first, especially back then. Movie Les Miserables was the first time it was done live (except for the opening number because.... of the water).
honorable mention to "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" from in the 1979 film Monty Python's Life of Brian
That's such a good song. I've never seen the movie but that song is iconic.
@@adamslater7486 exactly !!! the song became famous outside the movie & for me quite a Motto for life .
But, LoB wasn't a musical.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is one of the first movies that I saw. I went with my class at school. I’ve loved musicals ever since.
Whenever I hear that song I am surprised it does not come out something else. I wonder how many takes it took to record that song! ROTF LMAO It is very easy to mispronounce!
I would have also included “Shall We Dance” from The King and I
getting to know you, but julie andrews version!
@@Lily-md5mr
No! No! The movie has it hands down!
That's true too.
It isn't very catchy. I love the movie, I like the music, I adore We Kiss in a Shadow... but they aren't catchy. More memorable and beautiful.
Indubitably!! This one is a winner!
A spectacular array of fabulous songs from the great past that should never ever be forgotten !!!!!
Y'all slept on Bob Fosse. Where's the music from Chicago or Cabaret?
"make 'em laugh/ and "Fame" is so catchy!! It hardly gets off of someone's head...
All the songs are the most very iconic and awesome catchiest ever songs in the history of Music and movies
A person’s age is going to determine what their top songs are.
Not necessarily.
Not a single song from "Hello Dolly"? Shameful.
Walt Disney’s favorite was “Feed the Birds (Tuppence a Bag).” So much so, that he had it played at every meeting. My most catchy song is “Que Sera, Sera” by Doris Day from The Man Who Knew Too Much, not necessarily a musical, but about the most catchy song by a songstress not to even appear on this list. Judy Garland’s “Trolley Song,” from the great “Meet Me In Saint Louis” ought to be number one on this list, at least according to my daughters. Then she tops it off with one of the most memorable Christmas songs of all time, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” that will make the coldest of souls melt to tears.
"Meet Me in St. Louis" is my favorite film, so you and your daughters have really good taste.
Another catchy song from a non-musical movie is Frank Sinatra singing High Hopes from A Hole in the Head. I seem to remember that it's the only "silly song" to win an Oscar
@@LJB103 Unless you count "Talk to the Animals" from *Dr Dolittle* (1967).
@@oliverbrownlow5615 Not really a silly song. It describes what Dr Dolittle does. There are animals but no ants moving plants or rams moving dams.
my mom is OBSESSED with The Wizard of Oz and I'm fine with it.
I can't believe you left out songs from "Paint Your Wagon"!!!
You missed out Ya Got Trouble from The Music Man - I love this song and it is so catchy
I'm shocked that nothing from The Music Man made it on the list.
From Easter Parade, I would say "A Couple of Swells" is more memorable than "Stepping Out" - My Fair Lady "The Rain in Spain" - Hello Dolly "Hello Dolly". But with 20 or even 30 songs, you could never truly get all the greats.
Rita Moreno is why West Side Story is remembered today.
And why I’m excited for the remake this Xmas
@@manuelorozco7760 Do you know the cast? Who’s gonna play Rita? She’s half the fun in the movie, if she’s cast wrongly the movie is gonna turn into another Cats.
@@LucienSabre Anita will be played by Ariana Debose from Hamilton and the Prom. Ansel Elgort as Tony, Mike Faist as Riff Racheal Ziegler is Maria
@@manuelorozco7760 Not a bad cast...not a bad cast at all. Let’s hope they don’t overdo it like Cats’ movie cast did.
@@LucienSabre Rita will be a new character Valentina
As much as I love "I could of danced all night", the most catchy song in My Fair Lady is "I'm getting married in the moring". Also where is "You got trouble" or "Shapoopi" from The Music Man.
Every song in My Fair Lady is so catchy...definitely on of my favorite musicals of all time!
@@petereggers7603 For me, the My Fair Lady soundtrack is one of those soundtracks where every song is an absolute winner. The same goes for South Pacific, and probably a few others as well that I can't think of off the top of my head.
Ya Got Trouble, Definitely. Shapoopi? God no.
"Wouldn't it be Loverly" is the best song in My Fair Lady
I thought the catchiest song in My Fair Lady was The Rain in Spain.
Where is "All that jazz" from Chicago and " The phantom of the opera " theme song?
This list is for classical musicals, Chicago and The Phantom of The Opera are to new to be considered classics still
You characterize A Spoonful of Sugar" as lovely and healing. Healing, perhaps, cheery? Certainly, even sprightly. But for lovely from that film - "Feed the Birds". _That_ is lovely.
We’re off to see the wizard in The Wizard of Oz 1939 is the prettiest and awesome catching song in them all the time in the universe of The Wizard of Oz
A smile from you is more than enough to make my day.
No, Follow the Yellow brick road! And Home
@@emmyjorgeguineve7033 home is from the wiz
I absolutely agree with your choices. Thank you for reminding us its possible to be entertained by boisterous open hearted unapologetic joy.
No "Tomorrow" from Annie or "Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz?? That's messed up!
Or no the music of the night from the phantom of the opera
@@daynacooper1163 Yeeah! Phantom sure deserved a spot! Also, where's Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis?
The title is “catchiest” not best or favorite. These are the songs that everyone sings along to even if they haven’t seen the musical.
@@lysan4878 True. I miss Phantom and Les Mis anyway, though.
And " A Spoonful of Sugar" from Mary Poppins!
The list needs to be subdivided by either era or genre. You truly can't compare songs from the musicals of the 40s and 50s to those of the 60s and later. Plus, some songs are catchy, but others delve deeper into your heart. How would you compare the Oompa Loompa tunes to Camelot's "If Ever I Would Leave You"? Can't be done!
I love the Fiddler on the Roof. My mom did too when she was alive. She says that the scene where Tevye’s last daughter elopes with a non Jewish man reminds of how she and my dad eloped at the courthouse on January 28th, 1987.
Heaven on Their Minds - Jesus Christ Superstar
I've Got A Golden Ticket - Willy Wonka
Anchors Aweigh
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers should be on this list.
I completely agree!
Bless your beautiful hide! I agree.
Sobbing’ women.
I was wondering all through the list whether they'd pick Bless Your Beautiful Hide, Going Courtin' or the Sobbin' Women... and they didn't pick any of them?!
Absolutely!
YES! Definitely a lot of good ideas here for a sequel/follow-up, including "There's is Nuthin' Like a Dame" from "South Pacific"
Shall we dance or getting to know you from the King and I should've been on this list. As well as Hello Dolly.
Judy Garland’s beautiful Somewhere over the rainbow should’ve been no 1
Definitely!!!
"We Go Together" from Grease is my favorite song from a musical movie!!!!
Mine too, it's the perfect way to conclude the movie! 😍👌
💕 I love that song. Lifts my mood whenever I hear it!
One of my favorites too
@@trinaq i agree
another from Grease other than grease lightning is Beauty School Dropout
Calamity Jane! Such a great movie musical, and who could go past "Anything you can do I can do better". Seven Brides for Seven Brothers also has some great songs which deserve a place on the list.
YES!!!!!
Sobbin Women and Goin Courtin are my faves
"Anything you can do I can do better" is from Annie Get Your Gun
Cell Block Tango from Chicago
There's No Business Like Show Business' titular song
I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair from South Pacific
Shall We Dance from The King & I
^Definitely need to be in this list
I was also going to suggest "There's No Business Like Show Business" However it is from the musical "Annie Get Your Gun". Another I thought of - "It's a Grand Night for Singing" which is a Rogers/Hammerstein hit song from "State Fair".
I agree with the first three. Also O What a Beautiful Morning from Oklahoma.
I was lucky to see Fiddler on the Roof with Topols last year of performing. Amazing !
I'm amazed that none of the songs from The Music Man didn't make it! Also, "Sobbin' Women" from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a really good one too! You could have left Grease off, though I love it too. It's from the late 70s and isn't really a "classic" like the others. Alot of people forget about The Unsinkable Molly Brown too.
"I Wish I Was Back in the Army" from White Christmas is a pretty catchy tune.
Uhhh. ... so's White Christmas
Oh, I love that song! It’s so good, and I love how it feeds into White Christmas. Also, let’s not forget, the “Sisters” song. I love the parody with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. ♥️
Disappointed that none from Oklahoma or calamity Jane was there.
What's that????
YES!! Calamity Jane was mine and my sisters' favourite musical!
@@emmyjorgeguineve7033 ???
Just Blew in from the Windy City, is a bop and definitely worth a mention, and I Could Do without You
For me I always get How do you solve a problem like Maria stock in my head!
Songs missing in this list from "Hair", "Victor/Victoria" and "Cabaret"
V/v I agree Le Jazz Hot is iconic
Started as stage play, it has to start as a movie
@@Ashwgun which? Victor Victoria ?
@@marenmacdonald3341 I believe all of them except victor/victoria were stage plays first, the list is movie musicals
I love the songs you've chosen, but I'm so disappointed that nothing from The Music Man made the list. It's always been my favorite, and there are several great "ear worm" songs to choose from (76 Trombones, You Got Trouble, Shipoopy).
As an Iowan, I was disappointed ☹️
River City is an awesome song!
YES!! Madam Librarian is so much fun!
Agree, I already posted same and then saw you beat me to it. What a great Musical and maybe it will show up on Fathom Events again and we can see it on the silver screen!
I think “You Can’t Stop the Beat” should have been number one
Yes. Absolutely yes.
Anything from Hairspray depending on your mood. Either version.

@@krissmith800 Yes

"The catchiest songs from classic film musicals gave broadway a run for its money." You do realize that most of the songs on your list originated Broadway, don't you?
The fact “Step in time” from MaryPoppins wasn’t even mentioned once upsets me.
Musicals I would have included: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Les Miserables, Muppet Treasure Island (LOL), Pete's Dragon, Phantom of the Opera, and The Producers. If we include modern musicals and movies that just have song and dance numbers here and there, I would also include: The Birdcage, Cry Baby, The Greatest Showman, Labyrinth, Mamma Mia, Moulin Rouge, Pitch Perfect 1-3, Rock of Ages, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Selena, Spice World, and Teen Witch.
La Cage Au Foles is the French translation of The Birdcage
A great list. Rita Moreno is an EGOT winner (Emmy, Oscar, Grammy, Tony) one of only 16 in history. She sizzles in "America." Of course, there is nothing like Gene Kelly singing in the rain. I'm not sure how Audry Hepburn got on the list with a dubbed in voice when there are singers like Barbara Streisand.
There are a number of others who have won three and either have or have not been nominated for the fourth. Mostly they are missing the Grammy.
I think that the video is about the song so a dub really shouldn't change the rating.
Now there are 17 EGOT Winners - Jennifer Hudson won her first Tony Award in 2022.
Honorable mentions:
1. Luck be a lady tonight - guys and dolls
2. Go home with Bonnie Jean- brigadoon
3. It's may/Camelot-Camelot
4. Mamma Mia- mamma mia
5. 76 trombones- the music man
Yeah! I was surprised they didn't include more modern movie musicals like Mama Mia, Hairspray, Rent, Chicago, The Producers, etc.
That's not to say their list was bad, they're all amazing
Yes! Mamma mia and camelot were both great and so catchy
YESSS MAMMA MIA
Also time warp- the rocky horror picture show
Mamma Mia wasn't there. That surprise me actually
Please never forget the best of the best songs ever made and performed by the BEST! Great video!
I can spell and say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious forwards and backwards
Dociousaliexpiisticfragicalirepus. Not exactly backwards, but that’s how Mary Poppins says it.
I may have only seen the Sound of Music once in my entire life, but I did get the opportunity to sing My Favorite Things for a choir concert solo in high school.
I have seen The Sound of Music over 230 times. It is number 1
@@kristagarfield1893 I know lots of people (almost all of the female persuasion) who also have told me that they have watched the film hundreds of times! I remember that where I lived in eastern Delaware County (PA) there were a few cinemas, all with a single screen at the time, and “The Sound of Music” instead of playing for two weeks or even a month played for half a year at one of them!
This must've been a tough list to compile, cuz I can think of a ton more: "Trouble" & "Wells Fargo Wagon" from The Music Man, "All That Jazz" from Chicago, half of the Jesus Christ Superstar sound track, "Impossible!" from Cinderella . . .
The Music Man YES, the others NO
I know not many people have heard of The Slipper and the Rose, but the Oscar-nominated "He/She Danced With Me" is somewhat catchy and has been stuck in my head occasionally.
I love The Slipper and the rose
Where's "Every Sperm is Sacred"? Definitely the most catchy Python song.
I think “Consider Yourself” was an inspiration for that song.
@@victorhernandez8723 I agree.
Turns out that you can read the lyrics of "If I Were a Rich Man" almost directly out of Sholom Alechim's short novel "Tevye and his Daughters." That's how fine he was as a writer.
The Phamtom Of The Opera and JOESPH with Micheal Crawford and Sharh Brightman and Jason Donovan donny Micheal Diman Andy Gibb David Cassdy
What about Robert Preston's Seventy-six trombones from "The music man", Richard Harris "Camelot", "I wonder what the simple folks do" from the movie Camelot, My Fair Lady's "Get Me to the Church On Time", Man of La Mancha's "I am, Don Quixote", there are hundreds you couldn't fit in an hour.. Nevertheless, Kudos for the selection.
Nothing from Oklahoma? Oh What a Beautiful Morning is super catchy.
I've got a wonderful feeling everything's going my way... I think I made my kids hate that one. I used to sing that to them in the morning to get them up for school. 🤣
I can't believe a lot of my enjoyable mgm musical songs are in the list so unexpected I screamed into my pillow the entire pillow this is amazing.
No Music Man? You've got trouble.
Fun fact! Poor Gene Kelly, While filming this shot during singing in the rain; had a fever of around 103 or so and still did the entire "singing in the rain" number in singing in the rain.
Yep. The man never stopped making magic even when he was sick.
@@nicolenewsome4863 that's incredible to me that someone has that much passion for their craft
No songs from Hairspray!!? That's the best musical ever made!
I also love Chicago and Jesus Christ superstar
Oliver! Was great
No those are not classic movies. Which are movies from the eighties and before
@@carolinelowe6304 Hairspray the original was done in 1988
Ease On Down and most of the color songs from The Wiz were in the song lineup for my Dance Recital version back in 2013. Since then, the tune has popped into my head every now and again even though I’ve never seen the original film.
my fav is "Stick to the status quo" from HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL
Yes! That's a catchy one. That one gets stuck in m head so much
Yes
I just got that in my head
All the HSM movies are underrated. Great music
That wouldn't be correct for this list, though. It isn't old enough...not a classic.
Singing in the rain should have been #1.
Eidelweiss was also a great song which everybody knows from The Sound of Music.
Surprised they didn't do this already.
They have this is an updated version :)
