I'm predicting "Over the Rainbow" will win the poll, but I had to vote for "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." I get misty every time I hear it.

Of course you alll know how I had to vote... I would not be where I am to day with out "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" This song stuck in my head making me realize life wasn't going to get the best of me. I was encouraged by this song...

Here are some other songs that I would like to have seen in the poll:
"Singin' in the Rain," Gene Kelly "When You Wish Upon a Star," Cliff Edwards as Jiminy Cricket "Mammy," Al Jolson "Good Ship Lollipop," Shirley Temple "You'll Never Know," Alice Faye "Yankee Doodle Dandy," James Cagney

That's true, you can't edit the poll, but we can vote "Other" and name a song that's not on the list.

There are so many great ones, but I love Judy, so OVER THE RAINBOW got my vote. It's not even my favourite song of hers, but it is her signature song!

I like most of those songs OK - now that I clicked reply I can't see the poll list so can't remember if there was one I didn't like, LOL!
I voted for "Mac the Knife" by Bobby Darrin. I always liked the music even though I wasn't sure what he was talking about in my younger years (I didn't even notice that he mentioned sharks until a local radio DJ said so after Jaws came out). There's a local men's clothing chain in Utah called "Mr. Mac", a favorite place for new LDS missionaries to buy their suits (my 12-year-old son just got his first suit there). For years Mr. Mac's main advertising has included an instrumental version of Mac the Knife playing in the background while owner Mac Christensen talks about their current specials. I'm not sure if that's still the theme song or whether Mr. Christensen still appears in the commercials, I haven't watched the local TV channels much lately.

Anna, that story reminds me of a radio commercial that ran in the Los Angeles area in the 1950's. Ben Alexander, the actor who played Jack Webb's sidekick in the old Dragnet series owned a Ford dealership. The commercial was sung to the opening bars of the Dragnet theme. It went: "Ben Alex-and-er, Ben Alex-and-er FOOOOORRRRRRRDDD!" ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Sounds catchy! And just think, the poor Dragnet theme has become a Tums commercial in recent years. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) P.S. In saying "poor Dragnet theme", I mean that I feel sorry for it being used in an antacid commercial, not that the song isn't any good. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Anna, that story reminds me of a radio commercial that ran in the Los Angeles area in the 1950's.

I choose "I got You Babe". My local radio station uses it a lot in their programs and it kind of grows on you after a while.
