I’ve Got a Little List ….
How can we not have "A Little Priest
I’d add “A Little Priest” from Sweeney Todd. It’s witty and hysterical in a macabre way.
If we are going to do Sweeney Todd, then I would say "Damn, That's Good" is a quality Choice. I am also surprised that "Whatever Lola Wants" from "Damn Yankees" wasn't mentioned at all. And then there is about half of the songs from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying". And how about most of the songs from Hair? "White Boys/Black Boys" gets me chuckling every time. There are also a couple from "Chicago" that would qualify as well. The list of better choices is literally endless.
I’m wondering why this isn’t the top comment…
69th like nice
I agree with A Little Priest. It always makes me laugh.
That's exactly what I was thinking! : D
I love "Gee Officer Krupke", since it's a relatively lighthearted song in an otherwise somber musical, and allows for a moment of levity.
That’s my personal favorite song from “West Side Story”.
@@victorhernandez8723 same
That is my favorite bit in the new version.. all those newsies be so perfect
My grandpa’s too
I have the original record from the Broadway Show - and it's Dear Officer Krupke - F--K You.
The whole being dead thing from Beetlejuice and Agony from into the woods are guaranteed mood lifters for me!!
I forgot about Agony!! Definitely would have made my list. 😂
"Creepy Old Guy" is funnier. But the entire Beetlejuice score slaps. I also love "Agony." Into the Woods is great
My theatre is doing Into the woods jr. I’m so excited!
IKR!!!
YES OR NO REASON FRIGHT OF THEIR LIVES OR CREEPY OLD GUY OR..... THE WHOLE MUSICAL BESIDES DEAD MOM AND HOME
“Sincerely, Me” from Dear Evan Hansen and “Agony” from Into the Woods never fail to make me laugh despite the somber themes in both shows. Those songs totally should’ve been mentioned!
I was literally just thinking Agony should have been on here. I remember watching the movie in theaters and that song had the entire theater laughing hysterically all the way through it.
Definitely was overlooked
@@MelissaRodgers1 same here! We were all dying at that moment 😂
I totally agree. Agony makes me laugh so hard! It's basically two rich guys complaining, and trying to outdo each other because they have to work for what they want. It's hysterical!
Agony, for sure, especially as sung by those two in the early - original ? - movie. (Chuck Wagner and Robert Westenberg) Their expressions and intonations were priceless and hysterical. Even after watching countless times, they still crack me up.
I agree. However, I would pick the reprise. The look on Rapunzel's prince's face is priceless as he sings "Ah, ah...."
How did nothing from Something Rotten not make this list even as an honorable mention? Black Death or God I Hate Shakespeare are just hilarious
Ikr! I thought there was going to be one of those songs from seeing the clip at the start of the video.
"A Musical" and "Omelet" are both funnier than anything on this list.
My thoughts exactly. A Musical was the one song that had me laughing so hard i almost had to leave the theater.
Black Death definitely needed to be one of the top 10! My daughter just has to say "Black death, Black death, woo!" and we are rolling on the ground.
I did the show recently! Funniest stuff ever!
"I Believe" from Book of Mormon is the funniest song in that musical. It's so uplifting but also pokes holes in just how ridiculous organized religion is. Plus, the line "A warlord who shoots people in the face/What's so scary about that?" and "And I believe that in 1978 God changed his mind about black people!!" has me cracking up every time
The Book Of Mormon’s finale song Tomorrow Is A Latter Day ends with the line “I still have maggots in my sweater”
Ngl at least half of The Book of Mormon’s songs had me *rolling*
“I Am Africa” is just so great; the harmonies mixed with the pure satire is genius not to mention the x-ray bit in the middle ;)
I could talk about BoM all day lol
I can’t get past the F U God lines in one of these songs. It’s quite off putting.
I'd say Hasa Diga Eebowai and Turn it off are really good too!!
@@jasminejohnston6393 are you sure it’s not scrotum?
"You Won't Succeed on Broadway" from Spamalot is it for me. "There's a very small percentile who enjoys a dancing Gentile" It gold I tell ya, GOLD
"What is this feeling" from Wicked would have at least deserved an honorable mention for me, but good choices!
I was missing "Popular" on this list. It always cracks me up.
@@3lcw385 I am missing "A Musical" - best ever
Aka gay crush athem
Popular is another funny one
I'm sorry, but Avenue Q probably has at least 8 out of the 10 actual "funniest Broadway songs" and the one this countdown acknowledged ("It Sucks to be Me") is only at #10?!? LAME.
"Glitter and Be Gay" from "Candide" always cracks me up. I know that song is more well known because it's so incredibly difficult to sing, but I love the concept of the woman who is being held prisoner and has suffered from some truly horrible things, but she's like, "But look how pretty my jewelry is!" 🤣
Ik! I feel like Barbara Cook made it her own, but she had that funny little "bounce" in her voice when it calls for it! And while belting out high Cs and more! She's such a queen!!
Avenue Q is a funny Broadway show. But the song The Internet is for porn is extremely funny.
And Schedenfraude!!!!
Yeah and If You We’re Gay. If Ernie was a homosexual!
YES!
When I saw the show in 2003, the songs weren’t listed in the Playbill, and I loved that song.
"Show Off" from Drowsy Chaperone deserves a mention. The magnificent Sutton Foster performed this at the Tony's, putting on a tour de force as a star who wants to give up the stage, singing about not wanting to show off anymore, all the while, showing off every off the wall talent imaginable. Comedic sight gags galore including a spot where Sutton drinks a glass of water while she's still "singing." Just try not to laugh.
My favourite part is when the song seems to be over Kitty quips that she's surprised she didn't do an encore and Janet bursts back on stage singing, "I don't want to encore no more..."
I had the good fortune to see Sutton perform this role at the Ahmanson Theater in LA when they were tuning it up for their Broadway debut of the show. Not only was she brilliant (as always), but the show was hysterical, especially this song.
You just have to have a laugh at “You’ll be Back”😂😂😂😂
Yes. My Dad who isn't even a fan of musicals loves the song.
Totally agree
Omg!! That song cracks me up!😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂
'It sucks to be me' is awesome, but definitely not funnier than 'The Internet is for porn' nor 'Everyone's a little bit racist'
While very, VERY, true, Can you see MsMojo adding either of those songs to this list?
agreed
We're currently in the process of building a Broadway theater at my palace, we're hoping to persuade Hamilton to have a permanent production here just for me to watch every night
Two Jonathan Groff classics. I love how he spits the lyrics. 🤣🤣🤣
I would’ve added The Whole Being Dead Thing or Creepy Old Guy from Beetlejuice the Musical, plus a few other Avenue Q songs like My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada, The Internet is for Porn, and Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist.
Edit: I also forgot to add this one - Dead Gay Son from Heathers
Creepy Old Guy is my favorite
they only do Broadway shows, so Heathers isn't an option
@@asterismos5451 until I read this comment, I genuinely thought Heathers was on Broadway. The more you know. Thanks
I love You'll Be Back. I know it is hard to pick only 10. Personally I feel like Dentist and Miss Baltimore Crabs, Without Love, or Good Morning Baltimore could've belonged on the list as well. I love Hairspray
Same!
Dentist was on the list honestly it should've been number one but still it was I do definitely think that between Dentist and now (its just the gas) the ladder wins but nevertheless Dentist is an amazing song
I was in Hairspray Jr. last year
I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General and basically all of The Producers honestly.
"Popular" from Wicked gets my vote.
Same here
I agree
Same
Baptize Me from Book of Mormon always gets me 😂 and Revenge Party from Mean Girls is a favorite too
I would've included two more songs from BOM: Hasa Diga Eebowai and Joseph Smith American Moses. The first time I saw BOM, I thought I was gonna pass out from lack of oxygen because I couldn't stop laughing.
To this day BoM has remained firmly in my #1 spot for musicals lmao
The whole bit about dysentery made me cry laughing in Joseph Smith American Moses. Plus “I Am Africa” was such pure satire irony that I’d put it on the list as well
Whenever I got annoyed at work, I blast "Hasa Diga Eebowai" out of my car speakers on the way home. Heck, I even have the song's pin!
What about The All American Prophet?
Great list, except it's missing "Adelaide's Lament" from Guys and Dolls and "Bosom Buddies" from Mame.
As the original author of the Wikipedia article on the former, I concur. Adelaide's is one of the funniest songs in all Broadway history. "Cain't Say No" ain't getting its due either, given that it had the added burden of being written back when you couldn't get crude with such immunity nor was it socially acceptable to imply girls get horny too.
Yeah and The Internet Is For Porn from Avenue Q should’ve been on the list instead of It Sucks To Be Me from the same show
came here to say the same thing about Adelaide's Lament, its a classic!!!
Miss Hannigan's "Little Girls" from Annie should be mentioned as well.
As soon as I saw "A Gentleman guide's for love and murder" on this video, I knew I had to give it a like, that musical doesn't get the love and appreciation it deserves.
I saw this at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego before moving to Broadway. One of the funniest shows I've seen.
Zanzibar in August 1896: Hey uh, we appreciate the whole protectorate thing but uh, we don't want it anymore-
The UK: *I will send a fully-armed battalion to remind you of my love*
Zanzibar, 38 minutes later: ...understandable, have a great day
Yes, that happened. The Anglo-Zanzibar War was the shortest recorded war in history. I couldn't help but think of that, because you could apply that phrase to so much. That song is a masterpiece, they managed to turn a ruthless king into a memeful likeable character. Props to Jonathan Groff for pulling it off. Also, 5:39 the playwright's name is FRANZ Liebkind, not Hans.
I would have included “The History of Wrong Guys” from Kinky Boots. It cracked me up and got stuck in my head for weeks.
I've always liked 'Shy' and 'Happily Ever After' from 'Once Upon a Mattress', 'Adelaide's Lament' from 'Guys and Dolls', 'Free' and 'Comedy Tonight' from 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum', among many others. All of these can get stuck in my head for days. For a change, I totally agree with your choice for Number One.
I know it's not Broadway, but I also love the song 'Prestige' from 'The Pied Piper of Hamlin' (1957), sung by Claude Rains, with Doodles Weaver and company. It's considered to be the first movie especially made for TV;
Dentist from Little Shop of Horrors and Not Getting Married get my vote.
How can you pick just one from A Gentleman’s Guide …. Every song is hysterical and brilliantly performed.
I do agree with your number 1. Great job putting these together.
It sucks to be me is funny but the funniest in Avenue Q has to be The Internet is for Porn
Yes!! Thank you for adding A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder! I've seen it live and it's so underrated
I got to play Madam Thénardier in my senior year musical and gotta say “Master of the House” was my favorite song to perform of all time, such a funny scene to do :))
I feel like there are some great contenders in Urinetown… particularly “Run, Freedom, Run” or “Don’t Be The Bunny”
I'm just a girl who can't say no - Oklahoma!
A little bit of priest - Sweeny Todd
Gotta have a gimmick - Gypsy!
If you were gay - Avenue Q
Schadenfruede - Avenue Q
I almost forgot
Dance 10 Looks 3 - Chorus Line
Truly a perfect list
Another one. It isn't the song is funny, but the staging is hilarious. Honey Bun - South Pacific
“What Comes Next” is an absolute riot.
I feel like Dance 10 Looks 3 deserved a place on this one. ❤
Great catch! One of the most fantastic comic songs and a delight both to perform and to hear.
That's what I came here to add! So great
For a funny villain song, I’m sticking with Miss Trunchball (Matilda) and Lord Farquaad’s (Shrek) song
Avenue Q had puppets made by someone who used to be on the Muppets team, so they were as realistic as possible. Some of the puppeteers also. I saw it when it was in previews: it was so funny I nearly fell out of my seat laughing. Since I was in the last row of the mezzanine, and there were stairs directly in front of me, that would have been dire. (My obit would have been "he died laughing.") The songs weren't just upbeat, they were in the style of Sesame Street songs: I saw it a second time with a friend and he pointed out to me that every song is a counterpoint to a Sesame Street song.
"Feed Me" always gets me laughing.
Oh seriously. How could you leave out “I’ve Got a Little List” from The Mikado? That’s like one of the most hilarious songs ever!!! Especially since the lyrics are updated for each run so as to keep it up to date. At the very least it deserved an honorable mention.
My dearest friend was in a local theatre group and her first show with them was Mikado. My favorite line from this very funny song was “There’s the girl who asks in earnest ‘Is this salad gluten free?’”
The Mikado isn’t really Broadway though
@@silentsmurf It was on Broadway many, MANY decades ago.
@@themayhemofmadness7038 while it WAS on Broadway, its considered an Opera. Thats probably why Little List wasn’t mentioned. Because that song is hilarious
"The Casualty of Love" from The Wedding Singer and "Gay or European" from Legally Blonde is also extremely funny!
Gay or European is actually called There Right There
Oh Sucks to be Me is great. My favorite funny song is Master of the House. It’s so salty! My mom showed me that one. I also love You’ll be Back. It’s a total earworm though. Got that one stuck in my head many times.
Gay Or European? From Legally Blonde is my go to...
Was scrolling the comments to see if anyone else knew this one; it may not have aged amazingly but I still find it quite funny
You mean there right there
That's from Kinky Boots
@@theyluvtwoset.13 it is from the musical Legally Blonde
@@MikiaStorm Oh yeah sorry
I'm surprised only 1 song from SPAMALOT made it to the list. I think at least 2 more should have made it. "My New Philosophy" and "Popular" both originally sang by Kristen Chenoweth should also have been mentioned.
They usually try to keep it to one song per musical
I was so worried as we went through the top 10 that "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" wouldn't make the list given many current theatergoers don't know it. I was excited to see that "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid" made #1!!!
Highly recommend those who haven't seen the number live, take a look at it on UA-cam. Even better yet, go watch the musical whenever you see it playing anywhere (includig regional theater or high school)! Worth it! Definitely ranks with Book of Mormon, Avenue Q, and Something Rotten.
Let's see, "A Little Priest," "The Worst Pies in London," and "By the Sea" from Sweeney Todd, "Prima Donna" from The Phantom of the Opera, most of the soundtrack from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (especially "Poor, Poor Joseph" and "Those Canaan Days"), "Bless Your Beautiful Hide" and "Sobbin' Women" from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, "Opening Night," "Along Came Bialy," and "Keep It Gay," from the Producers, "Maria" and "The Lonely Goatherd" from Sound of Music, "Mark It Up" and "Thankless Job" from REPO! The Genetic Opera, "Feed Me (Git It!)" and "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" from Little Shop of Horrors, "I Can Make You A Man" and "Time Warp" from Rocky Horror Picture Show, and finally, "A Tale for a Penny" from the Devil's Carnival.
Funniest song ever on Broadway: "Creation of Man" from The Scarlet Pimpernel. (That musical deserved so much more love and attention.)
I fully expected this on the list, but alas not. It gets funnier each time you listen as the absurdity sinks in.
Also Welcome To The Rock from Come From Away just because of the line “I’ll tell them to STFD Slow The F*ck Down”😂
Yeah and Tomorrow Is A Latter Day, the finale song from The Book Of Mormon because it ends with “I still have maggots in my sweater”!
C'mon, Ms. Mojo. Not even a MENTION of "A Little Priest" from SWEENEY TODD? How could you miss it? SCREAMINGLY funny!
I know these are obscure, but "The Rumor," from Fiddler on the Roof, and "But, Mr. Adams" from 1776. Both HILARIOUS!
I agree with the #1 pick. I played that film for my 16 year old granddaughter she loved it. Timeless.
“Poor Jud is Dead” from Oklahoma!
Excellent mention of an underrated option
I'm disappointed that The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs didn't rate a mention
One more i forgot..
King Herod’s Song from Jesus Christ Superstar…
I'm surprised they didn't use a Broadway musical called Urinetown (check Cop Song and you're welcome ahead of time)
I was hoping they’d use something from the show. It was the spring musical my sophomore year and I don’t think I’ve been in a more hilarious show in my time in theatre.
@@furby9284 Same for me but in college
My high school drama class actually did Urinetown. I wasn’t in it but I got to watch it and my Buddy Maverick Abanaser played one of the cops
@@jasminejohnston6393 oh sweet
It's my favourite song from the musical. My favourite parts are where Officer Lockstock and Little Sally are talking to the audience.
Took a wild guess what would be #1... *YES!!!* Love that musical so much. Great choice for #2 as well.
I’m happy that Master of the House and You’ll Be Back made it on here!
"Agony" from Into The Woods is hysterical too!
You should feature an entire piece on the parody songs of Forbidden Broadway! 😂😂😂 They are class.
Some great picks
You naied it with Morman & Turn it off
Nailed it with West Side Story & Kiss Me Kate too
Ave Q & Spamalot & Producers - great funny shows, but I woud've chosen totally different ones -
Missing in my opinion from the list -
Great Big Stuff from Dirty Rotten Soundrells & Gay or european from legally blonde & Dance Ten Looks Three
LOVE your channel!!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Plenty of songs I would have added have already been mentioned, but here are a couple that I haven’t seen:
You Can Always Count on Me from City of Angels
No Time at All and Spread a Little Sunshine from Pippin
What a Game and Crime of the Century from Ragtime
Easy Street from Annie
1 -- Avenue Q: I laughed at CBS blacking out the puppet's mouth but not the puppeteer's.
2 -- If they revive "Spamalot", they should cast Britney Spears as the Lady in the Lake. Who knows? Maybe she'd win a Tony Award for it.
You got the wrong Spamalot song. It needs to be "You won't succeed on Broadway!"
You’ll be remembered, Stephen Sondheim
No Sit Down, You're rocking the boat from Guys & Dolls? :(
Not to mention Adelaide's Lament or the title song
"Gooch's Song" from "Mame", "It Takes a Woman" from "Hello Dolly!" "I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No" from "Oklahoma!", "Doin' What Comes Naturally" from "Annie Get Your Gun"
Let's also add "Anything you Can Do I Can Do Better" as well as "Gotta Have a Gimmick" from _Gypsy_
Ok, this definitely needs a part 2!
Gee, I do love Gee, Officer Krupke. I love this musical
You’ll be back is my go to. Groff kills it.
not technically from Broadway, but Sondheim's "I Never Do Anything Twice' is one of his funniest!
All good ones. I'd add "Popular," from Wicked.
How about:
.Poositoovity from The Little Mermaid
.Daddy Knows Best from Spongebob the Musical
.Thats Rich from Newsies
. Putting On The Ritz from Young Frankenstein
. The Morning Report from The Lion King
. Whole Being Dead Thing from Beetlejuice
. Schipoopi from The Music Man
. Cellophane from Chicago
How about "The Company Way" from "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying"?
Young Frankenstein and Beetlejuice are not musicals.🤦♀️
I love The Producers. I think there are funnier songs from the show than the one they chose. Everything from Avenue Q is funny, and love Man Up from Book of Mormon
How is " Internet is for porn" from Avenue Q not on this list?
Exactly
Exactly.
I Hate Men from Kiss Me Kate is really great for a good laugh
“Man Up” and “Baptize Me,” Book of Mormon. “Sincerely, Me” Dear Evan Hansen. “A Musical,” Something Rotten. “I’m Shy,” Once Upon A Mattress. “A Little Priest” Sweeney Todd. “The Internet Is For Porn” Avenue Q. “Model Behavior” Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.
I wrote this before I saw the whole thing and at least you mentioned two of my songs!
I nominate A Little Priest
Omg! You Will be Back cracks me up every time I hear it! Jonathan Groff steals the show, even though he only sings three songs.
I would like to add "What is This Feeling" from Wicked
Personally I would have added “Blue” from Heathers! It NEVER ceases to get me laughing like a witch 🤣
I would totally add Sincerely Me from Dear Evan Hansen. For me it’s one of the funniest songs on Broadway.
"It's a Musical" from Something's Rotten is brilliant.
Great songs, but I'm surprised not to see 'Adelaide's Lament' from Guts and Dolls in there.
Putting "Be a Dentist" on the "honorable mention" list is criminal. It should have been top 5.
"Blue" from Heathers and "Just Around the Corner" from Addams Family are super funny too
I can think of at least 3 songs from Something Rotten that should have been included
Got to also remember the punny and morbid A Little Priest from Sweeny Todd
Right? How is it not at least in the honorable mentions!?!
@@tejaswoman exactly!
Hasa Diga Eebowai is by far the funniest and most relatable song in The Book of Mormon.
How was nothing from Something Rotten even on the honorable mentions list I'm so sad
Anyone, MsMojo included, who says Beetlejuice the Musical doesn't belong on this list is dead wrong, pun intended!
'Gaston!' ~Beauty & the Beast, 'If I Were a Rich Man' ~Fiddler on the Roof, 'Magical Mr. Mastopholoes' ~Cats... all come to mind. Agree with 'Master of the House's ~Les Miserables.
6, the musical House of Holbein song always makes me laugh
"Phantom" came out in the 80s. No internet. Took me 3 weeks to find out Michael Crawford was Hero in "Funny Thing", favorite hilarious movie musical. Truly a moment of enlightenment regarding the potential of men in general. Thanks, Broadway!!
'The internet is for Porn' is a way funnier song from Avenue Q
I'd also add "The Lees of Old Virginia" from 1776 to the list. It's about as campy as it gets for a musical number!
Amen and Natural-Lee. There were other funny bits in 1776 as well. And it wasn't a nothing play either, it actually received multiple Tony nominations. And Chicago actually won Tony awards, and it had funny songs in it. Billy's introduction song comes to mind. The one with the seven murderesses of death row describing their murders was hilarious, in a macabre sort of way.
@@heinleinreader 1776 actually _won_ Best Musical that year against Hair! (which...okay, it's a fun show but that's an _interesting_ choice in the grand musical theatre scope. 🤔 )
The original Chicago actually didn't win _any_ Tony awards. It was the revival in 1996 that garnered its popularity.
@@HaunaMyKiki I didn't say the original Broadway show won Tony's, I said the Musical did, which would include any revivals, would it not? There was a revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying that did well, and that merely added to the accolades the original, also starring Morse and Vallee, had. By also starring I am not saying those two were in the revivals. But they were in the original Broadway production and the film. Additionally, I don't think I said 1776 DIDN'T win Tony's, I made a qualified statement to that effect. And for Hair to be its competition for the Tony, it would have had to be a revival of Hair, as the original musical stage production on Broadway was in the sixties, while the original stage production of 1776 was, well, not. It actually was one of the shorter turnarounds from stage to film at the time. But I don't know anything at all, I only went to see the stage production of 1776 when I was a kid. My mother took me. She was going to take me to the ballet, but there was nothing new in ballet at the time, and there was this family friendly musical that was playing, so that was why we went. I also saw the revival of Hair at a later time as an adult. I also saw a touring performance of Hairspray with Harvey Fierstien in the role of Mrs Tirnbladt. But again, I know nothing, right?
Yes to "The Lees of Old Virginia" absolutely! I also loved the playful bantering in "But Mr. Adams," where they were trying to decide who should write the Declaration of Independence (and they were all trying to get out of doing it). I've always loved this play ever since my grandma took me to see it on Broadway in 1971.
@@heinleinreader Oh yes, "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago is hilarious!
Always fun when songs put a smile on your face
I’m very surprised there was no Sincerely Me from Dear Evan Hansen
Yeah
Oh, please, as if Dear Evan Hansen doesn't already get more adoration than it ever deserves...
I hadn't even heard of some of these musicals but was actually in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum my senior year of high school...I played Senex too, the character at the center of "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid" (and its two reprises), so I was laughing a lot AND saying "Hell yeah, let's gooooo!" when that song was chosen.
"The Moon and Me" from the Addams Family Musical is pretty funny too as are "Full Disclosure" and "One Normal Night"
Yes! I freaking loved this musical!
