the best songs ever

[Eric the Green]

Thanks for continuing the thread; very good choices. Those just above are mostly ones I was going to add, before we were so rudely interrupted by the election and trainwreck.

I know there's more songs, but I'm going to add this organ work by the great 20th century composer Jehan Alain from 1934, performed by his sister Marie Claire Alain in 1972. "Intermezzo" aka "Spinning Wheel"





That Show Boat song was real nice. I didn't know that Tom Lehrer had quoted that song in his satire on "Pollution", which I think I posted upthread in 1965. "Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly, but they don't last long, if they try!"
