h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If Dmitri can have ane xtra guess, I want opne too:

brush up your Shakespeare from "Kiss me Kate"

Dmitri scores a point with:

18. Hello Young Lovers (The King & I)

There are two more dirges from that show still to find.

12 songs still to find:

2 from The King & I
1 from Can Can
1 from Camelot
1 from Kiss Me Kate
1 from Oklahoma
1 from another Rodgers and Hammerstein show.
2 from a show featuring songs by Irving Berlin. Ethel Merman starred in the original Broadway production.
2 from another show featuring songs by Irving Berlin. Again, Ethel Merman starred in the original Broadway production.
1 from a biblical-themed show.

More from The King & I – can't be 'A Puzzlement' or 'We Kiss In A Shadow' (The King & I) as there are no gaps there. So my guesses are:

'I Have Dreamed' (The King & I)
'Something Wonderful' (The King & I)

(If they're not right I don't know what's left in that show unless it's the 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' interpretation)

<BB<

Both are correct!

That clears it up for The King & I.

Ethel Merman

Everything’s coming up Roses. Gypsy

Deek

Not Gypsy, sorry!

Hmm...

I'll try Annie Get Your Gun - 'Anything you can do I can do better'
and the musical Call Me Madam - 'It's a lovely day today'

'Lusty Month of May' (Camelot)?
A Biblical-themed musical that isn't 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'
I didn't get a point for 'There's No Business Like Showbusiness' but you didn't rule out 'Annie Get Your Gun', so I'll guess
'Anything You Can Do'

<BB<

<BB<

Day by Day from Godspell?

Yes, you've found both Irving Berlin musicals, and the biblical one too

2. Anything You Can Do (Annie Get Your Gun)
10. Day By Day (Godspell)
26. It´s A Lovely Day Today (Call Me Madam)

No more songs from Godspell, but one each to go from the others.s

Sorry <BB<

I'll choose 'The best thing for you would be me' too

From 'Annie Get Your Gun':

Either 'We'll Have an Old-Fashioned Wedding', or
'The Girl That I Marry'?

And 'Call Me Madam: 'You're Just in Love'?

You score for:

50. You Are Just In Love (Call Me Madam)

So, no more songs to find from that one. But you didn't get the correct one from Annie Get Your Gun.

'Doin' What Comes Naturally'?

Are we still on 5 guesses a day? If so, that's my last.

<BB<

No, we'll have a free-for-all and try to close this one today if we can.

Yes, you score for:

11. Doin' What Comes Naturally (Annie Get Your Gun)

Here’s Betty Hutton, winner of the Dick Van Dyke award for authentic regional accents in movies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1R1-oRO6RY

Does Heavy Leslie do requests?

Absolutely, if I can find the sheet music. You *want* 'Doin' What Comes Naturally'?

I've got that stuck in my head now.

'My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name, he signs his checks with X's...' I blame high school chorus.

Only if you can master the accent. I don't want you to crucify the thing
