I can almost hear groaning in the background due to that title. Anyway, it's not too much of a secret that I absolutely adore musicals. There's something different about songs from musicals compared to "normal" songs (it's probably that the characters are singing what would be normal conversation for them, but just go along with it.) Songs from musicals are my favorite to sing to when I'm home alone, so here we go.
- La Vie Boheme from Rent - No doubt the best freakin' song in the whole play. It's fast paced, every character sings in it, and it's a huge celebration of the bohemian lifestyle that is condemned by the world at this time. I also have the ability of singing every single word of this song without messing up the words so that's a big contender in why I chose this song.
- Elephant Love Medley from Moulin Rouge! - Almost anyone who knows me knows that this movie is my favorite movie and has been since I was five. This song is a mash up of many different love songs and it's quite a lot of fun to try to sing every single part by yourself.
- On My Own from Les Miserables - I don't think I need to mention how everyone who has ever sung this song kills it, every time. Eponine is the character most easily related to since everyone knows how unrequited love feels. This song is also best sung in the most dramatic way possible, as loudly as you dare.
- I Won't Say I'm In Love from Hercules - I know this doesn't technically count as a musical, but I'm counting it anyway. This is one of my favorite Disney songs, and Megara is one of my favorite Disney characters, so I had to include this song.
- Hey Jude from Across the Universe - Also unsure of whether or not this counts as a musical, but there was no other way I could fathom ending this playlist. Hey Jude is one of my favorite songs ever (notice how many times I've said "my favorite..." in this blog post?) and it's a perfect ending for a playlist such as this one.
