I love old tunes so I have many favorites but two that stand out are My Funny Valentine and Blue Moon. I’ve enjoyed these songs in both classic interpretations and more modern versions by Elvis Costello and Bob Dylan. Those tunes just never go out of style. Thanks
“Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered”
Okay, so I just realized Oklahoma would not be on this list. I’m going to crawl in a hole now, but I stick to My Funny Valentine.
🙂
The haunting melody and plaintive lyrics of “It Never Entered My Mind” make it one of the most memorable songs ever written. Many people, myself included, can identify with the singer – now for Lauren recognizing they let the right one getaway and they could have prevented it
Forlorn not for Lauren!
My Funny Valentine would have to be my favourite. It’s my favourite because no matter who is singing if, it gives me the same feeling. The words are so beautiful. It never fails to make smile.
There’s a Small Hotel is my favorite Rodgers and Hart song but only when the song is sung by Betty Garrett. I first heard it in the film Words and Music and I fell in love.

To choose just one song is pretty hard to do. They have so many good ones. Blue Moon is an incredible song. It’s great in Manhattan Melodrama and I love Elvis’ cover of it.
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. Was one of my deceased mom’s favorite songs.
“I Wish I Were in Love Again” is my favorite, though it’s hard to pick just one. Actually, I can’t ever pick a single favorite, so this is one half of my favorite. The lyrics are so spectacular: I particularly like “When love congeals, it soon reveals / the faint aroma of performing seals / The double-crossing of a pair of heels / I wish I were in love again.”
Then there’s “Isn’t It Romantic?” which is unforgettable all by itself but as staged in Rouben Mamoulian’s Love Me Tonight a completely exhilarating cinematic musical moment… passed from character to character, the same way tunes pass from head to head.
Isn’t it Romantic. Makes me think of “Sabrina” and Audrey Hepburn
my Funny Valentine
My favorite is, “Mountain Greenary!”
“My Funny Valentine”
Listening to Ella Fitzgerald sing Rodgers & Hart right now. My favorite is usually the song I’m listening to at the moment, but I will pick “Isn’t It Romantic?” today.122
