I'm gonna port over the musicals only one I had going for myself since I didn't really get it started.
I've been on a musicals binge and kept going ~ooh, I'd love to make a thread outta that so I decided to pick my favorite song from 30 different musicals mostly from the 1930-1950ish era (actually 29 because I couldn't choose between two songs from State Fair >.>) and will be making threads out of 'em which will be linked once I've done them. Included are some lyrics from the song that I'll delete once I've made it into a thread.
I also made a youtube playlist of all the songs listed below
