Ben Vereen "Jump Shout Boogie" and Sandy Duncan "Nice Girl Like Me" are the best!

There are so many that I loved but for me the best one was from the Gilda Radner episode with the pigs and penguins singing "Lullaby of Broadway" in the Arctic! LOL :zany:

How about Lullaby of Broadway? I don't think that's been mentioned. Day-O is a good one, Mahna Mahna is an instant classic. Sonny. My list of songs could go ON and ON and ON!
