| Juanita Hall | Happy Talk | Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk, Talk about things you'd like to do. | "Happy Talk" is another tune from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific" (by the way Rodgers and Hammerstein based the musical upon James A. Michener's book of the same name). Juanita Hall played the character of Bloody Mary in the original Broadway production of "South Pacific" and was the only thespian who also be in the movie version of "South Pacific". - Peter | |||

| Jule Styne, Bob Merrill and Isobel Lennart | Henry Street | Henry Street, No, it ain't Broadway, it's Henry Street. | "Henry Street" is from the musical "Funny Girl". The song is sung by a chorus (therefore the credit given to Jule Styne {who wrote the music}, Bob Merrill {who wrote the lyrics} and Isobel Lennart {whose book the musical is based on}) at Rose Brice's salon for a party for Rose's daughter, Fanny Brice (the lead character), after Fanny's first success on Broadway. - Peter | |||

| Julie Andrews | The Bells Of Christmas | The bells of Christmas are ringing, / For Jesus the Saviour is born. | - Donna Rand Blitzen | |||
| Julie Andrews | Just You Wait | Just you wait 'enry 'iggins, just you wait! | "Just You Wait" is from the 1957 Broadway musical "My Fair Lady" (music by Frederick Lowe and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner). "My Fair Lady" was based upon George Bernard Shaw's play, "Pygmalian". Julie Andrews played the original Eliza Doolittle, but unfortunately would not get the role in the 1964 motion picture adaption, that would go to Audrey Hepburn. - Peter | |||
| Julie Andrews | The Sound Of Music | The hills are alive with the sound of music With songs they have sung for a thousand years | "The Sound Of Music" was the final Broadway musical that Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II collaberated on before Hammerstein's death in August 1960. Hammerstein barely got to even see Mary Martin who sang this song and several others for the Broadway musical, and the musical itself did not hit the stage until after Hammerstein's death. In the Robert Wise movie of the same title, Wise wisely chose up and coming Julie Andrews to play Maria, the nun who would marry a Captain shortly before World War II in pre-war Austria (the von Trapp story is a real story, although maybe slightly embellished for the Broadway musical and movie). The opening of the movie (1965), "The Sound Of Music" and Andrews singing this number high upon a mountain is probably one of the most memorable worldwide moments in cinema. - Peter | |||
| Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke | Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious | Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay, Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay, It's ... Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! | "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" does certainly sound atrocius! -:) Seriously, this song is another song from the Disney classic, "Mary Poppins" (music and lyrics by brothers, Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman). Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke lead a chorus in the part animation sequence in this film. Even though Julie Andrews didn't get to appear in 1964's Academy Award winning motion picture of "My Fair Lady" as Eliza Doolittle (the role she created on Broadway), she did get the last laugh in many ways, when she got to appear as the lead character of Mary Poppins and win the lead actress Oscar with her "My Fair Lady" co-star, Rex Harrison. And if you say "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" loud enough, well you know ... - Peter | |||
| Julie Andrews and Jon Cypher | Ten Minutes Ago | Ten minutes ago I saw you, I looked up when you came through the door My head started reeling, You gave me the feeling the room had no ceiling or flo | "Ten Minutes Ago" is another song from Rodgers and Hammerstein's 1957 TV special, "Cinderella". - Peter | |||
| Julie Andrews and Jon Cypher | Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful | Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? | "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful" was a song from the Rodgers and Hammerstein's TV musical special that first ran on CBS back on the evening of March 31, 1957. It was sung by Andrews playing the title character, Cinderella and Jon Cypher playing the character, Prince. "Cinderella" was rare thing for TV back then (and even for today in many ways) it was shown mainly on black & white televisions, but filmed for later showing in full color (color broadcast was a possibility as early as 1952 -- the American soap opera, "The Guiding Light" was actually the first show to have a color broadcast back in 1953, but TGL's creator and then head writer, Irna Phillips, insisted on showing a hospital scene that used only black & white items so many TV execs didn't think color would be thought of too kindly by many many audience members, so in 1957 the networks weren't ready and neither were most American households)! "Cinderella" was also a live entirely musical event (not to unlike "Peter Pan" from the same decade). "Cinderella" would be shown for many years into the early 1970's by CBS, as holiday special. - Peter | |||
| Julie Andrews, Rex Harrison and Robert Coote | The Rain In Spain | The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain. | "The Rain In Spain" is a trio piece (Henry Higgins -- played originally on Broadway and in the motion picture by Harrison, Eliza - played originally on Broadway by Julie Andrews and in the motion picture by Audrey Hepburn, and Col. Pickering -- played originally on Broadway and in the motion picture by Robert Coote) from "My Fair Lady". - Peter | |||
