There are quite a few musical-related songs on the list, as well as musicals (because, of course, musicals are the same thing as songs ??? ) and so I played songs from this list today.

Had you listened, you would surely have heard:

" Prologue/ Jet song " performed by Mickey Calin from the original recording of West Side Story

" Swanee " performed by Al Jolson

" Sing sing sing " performed by Benny Goodman and his Orchestra (not a showtune)

" Bill " performed by Helen Morgan from the 1932 cast of Showboat

" A cockeyed optimist " performed by Mary Martin from South Pacific

" Surrender " performed by Glenn Close from Sunset Blvd. (not a song from the 365 list, just a pretty song)

" Wouldn't it be loverly? " performed by Julie Andrews from My Fair Lady

" The gambler " performed by Kenny Rogers (I know, not a showtune)

" Summer nights " performed by John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John and the ensemble from the movie version of Grease

" Moon river " performed by Henry Mancini from Breakfast at Tiffany's

" Blue suede shoes " performed by Carl Perkins (okay, not a showtune)

" Zip-a-dee-doo-dah " performed by Johnny Mercer

" Oklahoma! " performed by the original 1949 cast of Oklahoma!

" My favourite things " performed by Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music

" Good morning starshine " performed by Lynn Kellogg, Melba Moore, James Rado and Gerome Ragni from Hair
