You Get A Poll!!
Come on, Come on. Jump For Joy.
It's the 100 Greatest Songs (from musicals I know very well)
How was it
done?
I took 100
songs from a total of about 33 musicals. I took no more than 6 songs from
any one musical. Next, I made up a list, sent it off to some friends, with
instructions to rate each song from 1-10 (Thanks to Kelly, Jen, Jess, Dianne
and Michelle for voting!). Any song they didn't know was not rated. When
I received the results, I added up the votes and then divided the number
by the number of votes the song received. Get it? Good. Enjoy the results!
(Click on a song title to view the lyrics for that song. If a song does
not have lyrics, it is because I either couldn't find them, or was too
lazy to type them cause the song was so long)
