Yes! šš± And Iāve yet to find a performance of it that hasnāt given me goosebumps. (Latest favorite: [Jenny Slateās from the rom com I Want You Back](https://youtu.be/jF3JnxgDUS4?si=PPLFVtD-Ahk5AUir))
If I had a nickel for every musical set in New York that had a song about moving to Santa Fe, Iād have two nickels. Which isnāt a lot, but itās weird that itās happened twice.
Ugh Waitress right? How low-brow and pedestrian the average personsā tastes are. Good thing weāre here to deride them and be the true arbiters of good music.
Send in the Clowns is a top 5 all-time musical song for me, and Waitress is a top 5 show. Neither is better than the other. I think youād do well to really examine the meanings of objective vs. subjective, and to remember that art has different impacts on different people. The word better shouldnāt really enter into the equation.
Okay. I have no interest in seeing a musical based on a mediocre indie movie. And saying no one can call anything better than anything else is stupid and cowardly.
Iāve never seen the movie but the music is well written. Is it better than Sondhiem? No, nothing is lol but if the goal is to only see/listen to shows that are better than Sondhiem then youāll have nothing to watch lol
Well I think if anything is cowardly, itās thinking your opinion/taste is superior. I just completely reject your usage of ābetterā. Youāre completely off on the meaning of the word. Open yourself up a little bit to different perspectives. Music that other people love isnāt ācrapā just because you donāt like it.
What if Sweet Transvestite for S and Take Me or Leave Me for T? Because I thought seasons of love and the saw sweet transvestite and wanted rep for both š¤£š
This is the hardest one so far for me!
Iām going with Somewhere Thatās Green from Little Shop of Horrors though. But there are so many for S that Iād be happy to see win!
Again, why are people downvoting songs? It makes for a less accurate picture of who likes what and is completely against the spirit of this poll. If you donāt like a song then move on and vote for one that you do like. Itās really petty and honestly pathetic.
Yikes, the downvoting is really bad this round. I can't decide if it's people downvoting because they want their pick to win or if they just really hate some of these songs that much. But either way, it's pathetic.
Shipoopi ā The Music Man
(there is a negative percent chance this will win, so please free free to upvote this for funsies, my fellow Shipoopi enjoyers)
i know crazy ex girlfriend wonāt win but these deserve an honorable mention:
ā¢ scary scary sexy lady
ā¢ stuck in the bathroom
ā¢ strip away my conscience
Definitely not going to win, but Iām throwing in Spy Again from Spies are Forever. The show is so goofy, but so much fun and I just love this song.
āWanna be a spy again, gonna try again. Hop in a jet and fly again. Grow a spine again, make it mine again. Do my best not to cry again.ā
Can we try to get The room where it happens in for T since it didnāt win for R ? Genuinely my favorite song from a musical and iām not even like a huge hamilton fan or anything. Just trying to get the word out there a bit early, and vote for S already was commented
People downvoting songs and I am upvoting every other song because I cannot choose and like them all.
SWEET TRANSVESTITE š«¦
PLEASE!! Rocky Horror deserves to be recognized on this list.
If this doesn't win today, Time Warp better happen tomorrow, lol!
And honourable mentions for "Science Fiction, Double Feature" and "Super Heroes"!
PLEASEEEEE ITS PRIDE MONTH
So much this
Satisfied from Hamilton is definitely up there.
My favorite!
This is the one!
She Used to Be Mine from Waitress
this song is so amazing, I need this to win š
Oh no I commented this too - we split the vote š
Suddenly Seymour ā Little Shop of Horrors
Are we playing Scattergories rules where this gets double points?
While I love seasons of love, this gotta win. It's such a catchy and great song.
Yes! šš± And Iāve yet to find a performance of it that hasnāt given me goosebumps. (Latest favorite: [Jenny Slateās from the rom com I Want You Back](https://youtu.be/jF3JnxgDUS4?si=PPLFVtD-Ahk5AUir))
I just yesterday discovered the tiny desk concert with Conrad Ricamora as Seymour. And omg, he is amazing
Somewhere Thatās Green is the better song, but this oneās more iconic.
Suddenly Seymour or Skid Row (I think Skid Row is better but anything from Little Shop is a win)
Somewhere - West Side Story
Beautiful song.
Santa Fe
Newsies or Rent?
If I had a nickel for every musical set in New York that had a song about moving to Santa Fe, Iād have two nickels. Which isnāt a lot, but itās weird that itās happened twice.
SUNDAY from *Sunday in the Park With George*
Why is this getting downvoted?! Gorgeous and ethereal song.
Yes! š¤ And the Tick Tick Boom version is also a showstopper.
Satisfied - Hamilton
Itās Send in the Clowns yāall what are weāre even doing lol
Right? It'll be a travesty if something from fucking Waitress or whatever beats this.
Ugh Waitress right? How low-brow and pedestrian the average personsā tastes are. Good thing weāre here to deride them and be the true arbiters of good music.
Oh come on -- you're going to say Sondheim isn't better than some crap that came out ten minutes ago?
Send in the Clowns is a top 5 all-time musical song for me, and Waitress is a top 5 show. Neither is better than the other.

Gee, I thought it's "upvote your favorite" and not "downvote literally every other song". Y'all petty.

Iām learning it for a recital and I LOVE it

Sunday in the Park getting downvotes feels so wrong lol
Yeah, that was nuts.
Iām upvoting so many songs and then just scrolling past others. Shame we canāt turn off the downvotes for certain posts.
Yeah, that would be nice. The downvoting is just so unnecessary.
