Broadway songs

[SWTXBelle]

You are, of course, right, Irishpipes - the song was "Maybe". Don't even know where I got "Somewhere" - was I thinking "West Side Story". Don't know - blech.

"Girl of AOPI...you'll be one forever" by some crooner and didn't you all have a version of Pass It On?? Not from church camp?

We didn't, but when my daughter was singing it, I said, "Oh, like Pass It On"...and she had never heard of Pass It On.

I guess they don't sing it at church camp anymore!

omg.....i forgot about "pass it on". during my time at fsu we incorporated a new pref. ceremony and that song was part of the ceremony. i renamed it"the song that goes on and on." not one of my favorites!

It does rather ruin a song once you sing it for rush - it's hard to remember the "real" words! We used the Theme from Ice Castles (shudder!) at Pref.

I seriously will never remember the "real" words to "Sweet Home Alabama" because it will always be "Sweet Home Delta Gamma" to me!

"Material Girl" will always be "Sorority Girl" to me . . .I remember . . ."But the girls who get the boys are pledging G Phi B!" and ending with "and I am just a Gamma Phi Girl!"
Ah, the 80s . . .
Oh my gosh. You could do such a great 80s skit . . .I'm thinking of all that great music . . .We also did a version of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun".

Honey, it's the same thing - only Nicole Kidman's voice is less annoying than Carol Channing's (actually Carol can sing, but that screechy thing she does is sort of her trademark).

For Good from Wicked makes a great Pref song - especially if two Srs sing it to eachother.

Was the song from Annie "Tomorrow"? We always tease my roomie's daughter about it, because when she was a baby, my roomie was in a theatre group, doing Annie. As she would sing "The sun will come out...", her baby would say, "Tomowwow." It was hysterical!

We've used "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", "Pass It On", "Sweet Home ADPi", a particularly horrible version of "People", and many, many more. Ugh.

Let's see - one time when we went out to help AOII recolonize Chi Delta (I think it was around 1980) we had to sing The Rose. Yuck. Took forever - was a little --- s -- l -- o -- w..... Bette Midler we weren't!

To the tune of ROXIE from chicago..


The name on everybody's lips is gonna be PHI SIG
the ladies rakin' in the chips are gonna be PHI Sig

On campus we are celebrities that means sombody everyone knows

They're gonna recognize our eyes, our hair, our smile our fun our goals

From just some lowly undergrad we're gonna be PHI SIG

Who says that college life is a boar

and who'd of guessed as friends we'd hang

and start off college with a bang Phi sigma.

We have a song to the rose as well.... it's LLOOONNGG and the words are really nice... but it's the one song that everyone grumbles about when we have to practice it with the new ladies. =)

I don't really get why so many people think "For Good" is good for preference. The words include, "I don't know if I've been changed for the better, but I have been changed for good." Why would you want to tell women during rush that you don't know if your life is better for being a XYZ?

I love "Consider yourself at home" from Oliver!, and "I don't need anything" from Annie, "Somewhere over the rainbow" from WofO, and "One" from A Chorus Line have possibilities. Actually, the more I think of it, I LOVE "One" for a skit.

A friend of mine's Alpha Phi chapter did "Alpha Phi-ver". As in from the film "Saturday Night Fever". (Not really Broadway, but it took place in New York where Broadway is located.) I remember cause I helped some of the girls learn how to partner disco dance so they could be "the guy". Mind you, this was right after the film came out and while disco was popular.

all i can say is what were we all thinking back then???

I'm a summer camp counselor and we sing Pass It On/ The Spark Song. The first time we sang it during the summer, I sang the AOII version of it, oops! I got some weird looks from my campers! The Phi Mu chapter here sings it at their pref tea.
