This week's show starts on the iconic side...with Barbra's Funny Girl, and moments from Girl Crazy, Camelot, even My Fair Lady. Huge musicals, which ya gotta love, but forgive me...I'm a fan of the Quirky. Gotta add a few weird selections in there, right? So we'll sample Ethel Merman's Panama Hattie (an Irish Hattie Maloney, owner of a nightclub...in Panama!), an Elaine Stritch/Don Ameche duet from Goldilocks, and something called Marriage Tango, from I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.
Oh, and re the adenoids: Magic Foot, sung by Daniel Fogel, as the contestant William Barfee (accent "aigu" on that last E) from "Spelling Bee" fame. Not really adenoids, but he has only one working nostril, so you get that nice STUFFED timbre. Love it.
