9 To 5 by Dolly Parton (1980)

A Bushel And A Peck (Frank Loesser, 1950) from "Guys And Dolls"
The song was introduced in the Broadway musical "Guys and Dolls," which opened at the 46th Street Theater on November 24, 1950. It was performed on stage by Vivian Blaine, who later reprised her role as Miss Adelaide in the 1955 film version of the play. "A Bushel and a Peck," however, was omitted from the film, and instead replaced by a new song, titled "Pet Me, Poppa." A popular recording by Perry Como and Betty Hutton peaked at #6 on the Billboard magazine charts. A Bushel And A Peck, Wikipedia.

A Hard Day's Night & A Hard Day's Night (C & G)
(John Lennon & Paul McCartney, 1964)
The song's title and the title of the film originated from something said by Ringo Starr, the Beatles' drummer. Starr described it this way in a 1964 interview:
     "We went to do a job, and we'd worked all day and we happened to work all night. I came up still thinking it was day I suppose, and I said, 'It's been a hard day …' and I looked around and saw it was dark so I said, '… night!' So we came to 'A Hard Day's Night.'"
In a 1980 interview, Lennon said that "it was an off-the-cuff remark by Ringo. You know, one of those malapropisms. A Ringo-ism, where he said it not to be funny … just said it."
The song - with its distinctive opening chord, described as an Fadd9 (F - A - C - G) plus a G "Power" Chord (G - D) and a bass D - featured prominently on the soundtrack to the Beatles' first feature film, "A Hard Day's Night," and on their album of the same name, the group's third studio album. The song simultaneously topped the charts in both the United Kingdom and United States when it was released as a single, the first time any artist had accomplished this feat.
In contrast to the Beatles' first two albums, all 13 tracks on "A Hard Day's Night" were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, showcasing the development of their songwriting partnership. Several of the songs feature George Harrison playing a Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar, a sound that was influential on the Byrds and other groups in the folk rock movement.
The 1964 musical comedy film was released during the height of Beatlemania, and portrays 36 hours in the lives of the group. The film was a financial and critical success. Forty years after its release, Time magazine rated it as one of the 100 all-time great films. It is credited as being one of the most influential of all musical films, inspiring numerous spy films, the Monkees' television show and pop music videos.

As Time Goes By (Herman Hupfeld, 1931)
Written for the 1931 Broadway musical "Everybody's Welcome," it became famous when it was featured in the 1942 Warner Bros. film "Casablanca" performed by Dooley Wilson as Sam. The song was voted No. 2 on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs special, commemorating the best songs in film (only surpassed by "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland). The song has since become the signature tune of Warner Bros. National Public Radio also included it in its "NPR 100", a 1999 list of the most important American musical works of the 20th century as compiled by NPR's music editors. The song is a popular reflection of nostalgia and often used in films and series reflecting this feeling. It was first recorded by Rudy Vallée on July 25, 1931 for Brunswick Records; Dooley Wilson was not able to record his version due to the 1942–44 musicians' strike. Unable to record new versions of the song, RCA Victor reissued the 1931 recording by Rudy Vallée which became a number one hit, eleven years after it was originally released.

Blue Skies (Irving Berlin, 1926) (Dm)
The song was composed in 1926 as a last-minute addition to the Rodgers and Hart musical "Betsy." Although the show ran for only 39 performances, "Blue Skies" was an instant success, with audiences on opening night demanding 24 encores of the piece from star Belle Baker. During the final repetition, Ms. Baker forgot her lyrics, prompting Berlin to sing them from his seat in the front row.
In 1927, the music was published and Ben Selvin's recorded version was a hit. That same year, it became one of the first songs to be featured in a talkie, when Al Jolson performed it in "The Jazz Singer." 1946 was also a notable year for the song, with a Bing Crosby/Fred Astaire film taking its title along with two recorded versions by Count Basie and Benny Goodman. Crossing genres, Willie Nelson's recording of "Blue Skies" was a #1 country music hit in 1978. Blue Skies, Wikipedia.

Charade (Henry Mancini & Johnny Mercer, 1963)
Charade (Am Dm Em) (Simplified Version) from Theresa.
Composer Henry Mancini wrote: "There is a scene in the movie where Audrey returns from a happy winter holiday to her Paris flat to find it stripped of everything of value. Bare floors and the walls are all that remain. Her loutish husband had absconded with all of her worldly goods. She enters the dimly-lit apartment with her suitcase and surveys the scene. Her feelings are of sadness, loneliness and vulnerability. To me, it translated into a sad little Parisian waltz. With that image of Audrey in my mind, I went to the piano and within less than an hour 'Charade' was written. I played it for Audrey and Stanley. Both felt it was just right for the movie. Johnny Mercer added his poetry, and the song was nominated for an Oscar that year". Johnny Mercer later said it was his favourite Mancini melody. Charade, Wikipedia.

Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep) (Irving Berlin, 1954)
From the 1954 film "White Christmas," it is commonly performed as a Christmas song, although the lyrics make no reference to the December holiday. The song came from a personal experience of Berlin who was experiencing insomnia brought on by stress. In a letter to 20th Century Fox executive Joseph Schenck, Berlin wrote:
"I’m enclosing a lyric of a song I finished here and which I am going to publish immediately. This particular song is based on what really happened. The story is in its verse, which I don't think I'll publish. Sometime ago, after the worst kind of a sleepless night, my doctor came to see me and after a lot of self-pity, belly-aching and complaining about my insomnia, he looked at me and said "speaking of doing something about your insomnia, did you ever try counting your blessings?"
Berlin incorporated the song into the movie to advance the relationship between the characters played by Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. The theme reminds listeners to remember how much they are blessed instead of fretting about short-term problems.
It was nominated for an Academy Award as "Best Song" but was defeated by "Three Coins in the Fountain" from the film of the same name written by Jule Styne and lyricist Sammy Cahn. During his 60-year career Berlin wrote an estimated 1,500 songs, including the scores for 20 original Broadway shows and 15 original Hollywood films, with his songs nominated eight times for Academy Awards.

Edelweiss (Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, 1959) from the Broadway musical "The Sound of Music"
The song is named after the edelweiss, a white flower found high in the Alps (Leontopodium nivale). The song was created for the 1959 Broadway production as a song for the character Captain Georg von Trapp. In the musical, Captain von Trapp and his family sing this song during the concert near the end of Act II, as a statement of Austrian patriotism in the face of the pressure put upon him to join the navy of Nazi Germany following the Anschluss (Nazi annexation of their homeland). It is also Captain von Trapp's goodbye to his beloved homeland, using the flower as a symbol of his loyalty to Austria. It was the last song written by Oscar Hammerstein II.

Give My Regards to Broadway (C & G) (George M. Cohan, 1904) from "Little Johnny Jones" (1904)
This was the first of more than three dozen Broadway musicals written by George H. Cohen. Cohan, playing the title character, sings this song as his friend is about to sail to America, looking for evidence aboard the ship that will clear his name for allegedly throwing the English Derby. He is sure he'll become a star at Broadway, therefore signing off with: "Give my regards to Broadway." The show also introduced Cohan's "The Yankee Doodle Boy." The lead character was inspired by real-life Hall of Fame jockey Tod Sloan whose flamboyant lifestyle caused Cohan to think of him as a "Yankee Doodle dandy." The play was adapted for film in 1923 and 1929. This song has been featured in several movies including two biopics, the Oscar-winning film "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942) and the 1968 musical "George M!"starring Joel Grey. In 2004, the American Film Institute nominated the song "Give My Regards to Broadway" from this film for AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs.

God Bless America (Irving Berlin, 1918, 1938)
Written during World War I in 1918 while serving in the U.S. Army at Camp Upton in Yaphank, New York, but Berlin decided that it did not fit in a revue called Yip Yip Yaphank, so he set it aside. He revised it in the run up to World War II in 1938. It was introduced in 1938 on an Armistice Day radio broadcast by Kate Smith and has become her signature song.
Berlin provided an introduction that is now rarely heard but which Smith always used: "While the storm clouds gather far across the sea / Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free / Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, / As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer."
"God Bless America" takes the form of a prayer (intro lyrics "as we raise our voices, in a solemn prayer") for God's blessing and peace for the nation ("...stand beside her and guide her through the night...").
During a live television broadcast on the evening of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, following addresses by then House and Senate leaders, Speaker Dennis Hastert (Re) and Tom Daschle (D), members of the United States Congress broke out into a spontaneous verse of "God Bless America" on the steps of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

Green Leaves of Summer (Paul Francis Webster & Dimitri Tiomkin, 1960) (Am & Dm)
Written for the 1960 film "The Alamo," it was performed in the film's score by the vocal group The Brothers Four. In the film, the song is heard on the last night before the final day of the Battle of the Alamo, when the men were certainly conscious of their impending death. Davy Crockett (John Wayne), when asked what he is thinking, responds "not thinking, just remembering." The men of the Alamo reminisce on their lives and reflect on their own mistakes, faith, morality, and mortality.
A second recording of the song is on the soundtrack it was by Dimitri Tiomkin & the Sinphony Orchestra, and, according to one source, a studio chorus lead by Jester Hairston, although I have not been able to confirm this.
The song itself has no lyrical connection to the Alamo, or to any other historical events.
In 1961, the song was nominated for an Academy Award; its parent soundtrack, for the film "The Alamo," was awarded a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. The Green Leaves of Summer, Wikipedia

The song ends as Crockett says "not thinking, just remembering."

Happy Days Are Here Again (C & G) (Milton Ager & Jack Yellen, 1929) from “Chasing Rainbows”
The song is a standard that has been covered by many artists. It appeared in the 1930 film "Chasing Rainbows," was the title song for a 1936 British musical drama film, and has been heard in over 80 other films. It was also the campaign song for Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1932 presidential campaign. The song is #47 on the Recording Industry Association of America's list of "Songs of the Century". In 1986 it received an ASCAP Award for Most Performed Feature Film Standards on TV.
Reviewer Matthew Greenwald described the song as a "true saloon standard" and "a Tin Pan Alley standard" that has been "sung by virtually every interpreter since the 1940s. In a way, it's the pop version of 'Auld Lang Syne'." Happy Days Are Here Again, Wikipedia.

Heat Wave (C) & Heat Wave (G) (Updated arrangement, 6 chords)
Heat Wave (Original arrangement, 4 chords)
(Brian Holland–Lamont Dozier–Eddie Holland, 1963)
This 1963 song written by the Holland–Dozier–Holland songwriting team was first made popular by the Motown vocal group Martha and the Vandellas. It hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B chart—where it stayed for four weeks—and peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. This was one of many songs written and produced by the Holland–Dozier–Holland songwriting and producing team and was the second hit collaboration between Martha and the Vandellas and the team. Produced and composed with a gospel backbeat, jazz overtones, and doo-wop call and responsive vocals, "Heat Wave" was one of the first songs to exemplify the style of music later termed as the "Motown Sound". It also garnered the group's only Grammy Award nomination for Best Rhythm and Blues Recording for 1964, making the Vandellas the first Motown group ever to receive a Grammy Award nomination. The success of "Heat Wave" helped popularize both Martha and the Vandellas and Holland-Dozier-Holland, while cementing Motown as a strong musical force.
It was recorded 12 years later by rock vocalist Linda Ronstadt on her Platinum-selling 1975 album 'Prisoner in Disguise.' Ronstadt's version of the song  reached #5 in Billboard, #4 in Cash Box, and #6 in Record World.
In a 2007 DVD entitled "The Lovin' Spoonful with John Sebastian – Do You Believe in Magic", author Sebastian illustrates how he sped up the three-chord intro from "Heat Wave" to come up with the intro to "Do You Believe in Magic".

Hernando's Hideaway (C & F) (Richard Adler & Jerry Ross, 1957) from "The Pajama Game"
This tango show tune, largely in long meter, was sung in the stage and film versions of the musical by Carol Haney. The song is about a fictional invitation-only nightclub of the same name where lovers can meet for secret rendezvous. According to author Dave Hoekstra, "Hernando's Hideaway" was based on "Hilltop," an establishment in East Dubuque, Ill. that had been a speakeasy in the 1920s (where Al Capone once hid out from the Chicago police) before turning into a supper club. In the few years after the song's release, a number of artists had hit recordings of it, including Archie Bleyer, Johnnie Ray and The Johnston Brothers. The original Broadway production (1954) won three Tony awards including Best Musical. Hernando’s Hideaway, Wikipedia; The Pajama Game, Wikipedia; Long meter, Wikipedia.

Hoist The Colors High (Lyrics by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, Music by Hans Zimmer and Gore Verbinski, 2007)
A song featured in the feature film, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (2007). The song tells the tale of Calypso's binding by the First Brethren Court. and is used in the film as a call to arms for the members of the Brethren Court. At the beginning of the film, the song was sung by assembled men and women sentenced for execution by the East India Trading Company at Fort Charles in Port Royal. The song was inspired by a legend claiming that the children's nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence" was used by confederates of the notorious pirate Blackbeard as a coded reference to recruit crew members.

I Am Hawaii Mack David and Elmer Bernstein, 1966) from "Hawaii"
"I Am Hawaii," also known as "Hawaii", was the 1966 theme song composed by Elmer Bernstein for the 1966 film "Hawaii." After the film's release, Mack David added the lyrics, which was subsequently covered by artists such as Don Ho (for the 1966 album, "Tiny Bubbles") and Cathy Foy (in a medley with "Follow Me" from the 1962 film, "Mutiny on the Bounty"), the winner of the 1975 Miss Hawaii pageant. Foy's cover received greater national attention when it accompanied Angela Perez Baraquio's hula performance on Miss America 2001 before Baraquio became Miss America.

I Walk The Line (Johnny Cash, 1956)
A song that talks about marital fidelity, personal responsibility, and avoiding temptation and criminal behavior. In an interview, Cash stated, “I wrote the song backstage one night in 1956 in Gladewater, Texas. I was newly married at the time, and I suppose I was laying out my pledge of devotion." The unique chord progression for the song was inspired by backwards playback of guitar runs on Cash's tape recorder while he was in the Air Force stationed in Germany. While performing the song on his TV show, Cash told the audience, with a smile, "People ask me why I always hum whenever I sing this song. It's to get my pitch." The humming was necessary since the song required Cash to change keys several times while singing it. "Walk The Line" is a 2005 biopic of Cash starring Joaquin Phoenix.

If I Were A Rich Man (Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock, 1964) from "Fiddler On The Roof"
A show tune from the 1964 Broadway musical "Fiddler on the Roof," it is performed by Tevye, the main character in the musical, and reflects his dreams of glory. The title is inspired by a 1902 monologue by Sholem Aleichem in Yiddish, Ven ikh bin Rothschild (If I were a Rothschild), a reference to the wealth of the Rothschild family, although the content is quite different. The lyric is based in part on passages from Sholem Aleichem’s 1899 short story "The Bubble Bursts." Both stories appeared in English in the 1949 collection of stories Tevye's Daughters. Tevye was portrayed by Zero Mostel in the original 1964 Broadway play (the first musical theatre run in history to surpass 3,000 performances) and by Chaim Topol in the 1971 motion picture.

I’ll Fly Away - Kossoy Sisters (Albert E. Brumley, 1929) (C & G), featured in "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Written in 1929 and published in 1932, this song is said to have been influenced by the 1924 secular ballad, "The Prisoner's Song". It has been called the most recorded gospel song, and it is frequently used in worship services by Baptists, Pentecostals, Nazarenes, the Churches of Christ and many Methodists. It is also a standard song at bluegrass jam sessions and is often performed at funerals. Author Albert E.

I'll Never Fall In Love Again (Burt Bacharach & Hal David, 1968) from "Promises, Promises"
Written for the 1968 musical "Promises, Promises," several recordings of the song were released in 1969, the most popular of which was by Dionne Warwick. In the fall of 1968, Bacharach and David were asked by producer David Merrick to write the score for his new musical.
But while Bacharach was soon hospitalized with pneumonia and wasn't able to write the music, the hospitalization inspired Hal David to write: 'What do you get when you kiss a girl? / You get enough germs to catch pneumonia / After you do, she'll never phone you.' After his release from the hospital, Bacharach recalls, "I wrote the melody for 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again' faster than I had ever written any song in my life." It became the outstanding hit from the score and "pretty much stopped the show every night." On Broadway, the song was sung by Jill O'Hara and Jerry Orbach. I'll Never Fall In Love Again, Wikipedia.

I'm Going to Go Back There Someday (C-G) (Paul Williams & Kenny Ascher, 1979) from "The Muppet Movie"
This is Gonzo's song as he looks at the night sky, reminiscing about being accidentally set adrift hanging onto a bunch of balloons. Even after he has been rescued, he can't forget the experience: "You can just visit, but I plan to stay; I'm going to go back there someday." This is a startlingly abstract, melancholy moment in the middle of a road movie, complete with a lonesome cowboy harmonica and a sense that what we are able to see and know on Earth is always going to be less than what we could see from anywhere else.

In The Good Old Summertime (lyrics by Ren Shields, music by George Evans, 1902)
Shields and Evans were at first unsuccessfully trying to sell this Tin Pan Alley song to one of New York's big sheet music publishers. The publishers thought the topic of the song doomed it to be forgotten at the end of the summer season. But, Blanche Ring, who had helped to arrange the number, was enthusiastic about it and at her urging it was added to her 1902 musical comedy show "The Defender." The song was a hit from the opening night, with the audience often joining in singing the chorus. The song became one of the big hits of the era, selling popular sheet music and being recorded by various artists of the day, including John Philip Sousa's band in 1903. It has remained a standard often revived in the decades since.
The song appeared in many films, including the 1949 Judy Garland film "In the Good Old Summertime." The book Elmer Gantry opens with the title character drunkenly singing the song in the saloon. In The Good Old Summertime, Wikipedia.

La Bamba (adapted from a Mexican folk song by Richard Steven Valenzuela, 1958)
"La Bamba" is a Mexican folk song, originally from the state of Veracruz, best known from a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens, a top 40 hit in the U.S. charts and one of early rock and roll's best-known songs. "La Bamba" has been covered by numerous artists, most notably by Los Lobos, whose version was the title track of the 1987 film "La Bamba" and reached #1 in the U.S. and UK singles charts in the same year, earning Valens retroactive credit with writing a #1 single. The Los Lobos version remained #1 for three weeks in the summer of 1987.
Valens, who was proud of his Mexican heritage, was hesitant at first to merge "La Bamba" with rock and roll but then agreed. The song has appeared on numerous "best of" lists including being ranked #345 on Rolling Stone magazine′s list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time." In 2019, Valens' version was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Richard Steven Valenzuela (May 13, 1941 – February 3, 1959) - a rock and roll pioneer and a forefather of the Chicano rock movement - was only eight months into his recording career at the time of his death. On February 3, 1959, on what has become known as "The Day the Music Died", Valens died in a plane crash in Iowa, an accident that also claimed the lives of fellow musicians Buddy Holly and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as pilot Roger Peterson. Valens was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Released as an edited single on April 24, 1967, it spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in late July, and one week on the Cash Box Top 100, nearly a year after its recording.

The song is ranked at number 35 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
"Light My Fire" was performed live by the Doors on The Ed Sullivan Show, September 17, 1967. Although the band agreed to change one of the lines, during the live performance, the band's lead singer Jim Morrison sang the original, unaltered lyrics. Ed Sullivan did not shake Jim Morrison's hand as he left the stage and although The Doors had been negotiating future appearances, they were informed they would never perform on the show again.

The song's title and chorus refer to the Moon landing conspiracy theories, as an oblique allusion to rumors that Kaufman's death in 1984 was faked. The song gave its name to "Man on the Moon" (1999), Miloš Forman's film based on Kaufman's life, and was featured prominently in the film's soundtrack. It remains one of R.E.M.'s most popular songs.

Memory (Andrew Lloyd Webber & Trevor Nunn, 1981) from the Broadway musical "Cats" (C)
Based on the T. S. Eliot poem "Rhapsody on a Windy Night", it is sung primarily by the character Grizabella as a melancholic remembrance of her glamorous past and as a plea for acceptance. "Memory" is the climax of the musical and by far its best-known song, having achieved mainstream success outside of the musical. According to musicologist Jessica Sternfeld, it is "by some estimations the most successful song ever from a musical." Elaine Paige originated the role of Grizabella in the West End production of Cats, and was thus the first to perform the song publicly on stage. "Memory" was named the Best Song Musically and Lyrically at the 1982 Ivor Novello Awards. In the 2019 film adaptation featuring Jennifer Hudson as Grizabella, Jemima's soprano part was given to Victoria the White Cat. "Cats" was based on a 1939 book of poems by T. S. Eliot, "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." Memory (Cats song), Wikipedia.

This was the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical collaboration to be heard by theatre audiences.

The title song from the 1943 Broadway musical, named for the setting of the musical play. The music and lyrics were written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The melody is reprised in the main title of the 1955 film version and in the overtures of both film and musical productions. Orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett's massive 8-part chorale near the end of the song extends it to include a spelling of the name, ending with an epic ritardando leading into one last iteration of "Oklahoma." In 1953, the Oklahoma legislature chose it as the state song of Oklahoma, the only official state song from a Broadway musical.

Ol' Man River (C G) (Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II) from the 1927 musical "Show Boat"
A show tune that contrasts the struggles and hardships of African Americans with the endless, uncaring flow of the Mississippi River. It is sung from the point of view of a black stevedore "Joe" on a showboat, and is the most famous song from the show. The character Joe, the stevedore who sings "Ol' Man River", was expanded from the novel and written specifically by Kern and Hammerstein for Paul Robeson, already a noted actor and singer. Although he is the actor most identified with the role and the song, he was unavailable for the original production due to its opening delay. However, Mr. Robeson played the role in the 1936 film version. In 2004, Robeson's version finished at #24 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema, and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2006. William Warfield played the role of Joe in the 1951 film. Ol' Man River, Wikipedia; Show Boat, Wikipedia.

Red River Valley (C) & Red River Valley (G) (Traditional)
A folk song and cowboy music standard of uncertain origins that has gone by different names (such as "Cowboy Love Song", "Bright Sherman Valley", "Bright Laurel Valley", "In the Bright Mohawk Valley", and "Bright Little Valley"), depending on where it has been sung. It is listed as Roud Folk Song Index 756. It was first recorded as “Cowboy Love Song” in 1925 by Carl T. Sprague, one of the first cowboy singers from Texas, but it was fellow Texan Jules Verne Allen's 1929 "Cowboy's Love Song" that gave the song its greatest popularity.
Canadian folklorist Edith Fowke offers anecdotal evidence that the song was known in at least five Canadian provinces before 1896. The earliest known written manuscript of the lyrics, titled "The Red River Valley", bears the notations "Nemaha 1879" and "Harlan 1885." Nemaha and Harlan are the names of counties in Nebraska, and the names of towns in Iowa. The song appears in sheet music, titled "In the Bright Mohawk Valley", printed in New York in 1896 with James J. Kerrigan as the writer, but the song was thought to have been adapted for a New York audience. The tune and lyrics were collected and published in Carl Sandburg's 1927 The American Songbag, "Red River Valley," pp. 130-131. Red River Valley, Wikipedia.

Ring of Fire (G) & Ring of Fire (C) (June Carter Cash & Merle Kilgore, ca. 1963)
The song was originally recorded by June's sister, Anita Carter in early 1963. After hearing Anita's version, Cash claimed he had a dream where he heard the song accompanied by "Mexican horns". When it failed to become a hit, Johnny Cash re-recorded it, adding the mariachi-style horns from his dream. Although "Ring of Fire" sounds ominous, the term refers to falling in love – which is what June Carter was experiencing with Johnny Cash at the time. Some sources claim that Carter had seen the phrase "Love is like a burning ring of fire," underlined in one of her uncle A. P. Carter's Elizabethan poetry books.
"Ring of Fire" was ranked No. 4 on CMT's 100 Greatest Songs of Country Music in 2003 and #87 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Numerous cover versions of "Ring of Fire" have been produced, the most commercially successful version being by Eric Burdon & the Animals. Their version was recorded at the end of 1968, and made the top 40 in four countries. Ring of Fire, Wikipedia.

Singin' in the Rain (F) & Singin' In The Rain (C & G) (Arthur Freed & Nacio Herb Brown, ca. 1927)
Title song of the 1952 MGM movie, the song originally appeared in "The Hollywood Revue of 1929", first performed by Cliff Edwards as "Ukulele Ike" and later performed by the entire cast at the end of the film. The song has an unusual form: the song opens with a 32-bar chorus and then is followed by a 24-bar verse that has the feeling of a bridge before the chorus repeats.
In the 1929 film of the same name, in the sequence in which Gene Kelly dances and sings the title song while spinning an umbrella, splashing through puddles and getting soaked with rain, Kelly was sick with a 103 °F (39 °C) fever. The water used in the scene caused Kelly's wool suit to shrink during filming which took 2 to 3 days to complete. In the American Film Institutes' 2004 "100 Years...100 Songs," the song is ranked #3.

PS. Debbie Reynolds was not a dancer when she made "Singin' in the Rain." Kelly apparently insulted her for her lack of dance experience, upsetting her. Later Fred Astaire found Reynolds crying under a piano. Hearing what had happened, he volunteered to help her with her dancing. After the 15-hour shoot of the "Good Morning" routine, Reynolds' feet were bleeding.

Its soundtrack album ended 1978 as the second-best-selling album of the year in the United States, behind the soundtrack of the 1977 blockbuster "Saturday Night Fever" (which also starred Travolta).
"Summer Nights" was originally written for the stage show's transition to Broadway and became a massive hit in both the United States and United Kingdom during the summer of 1978.

Summertime (George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin with lyrics by DuBose Heyward, 1934) (Dm)
An aria composed in 1934 by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera "Porgy and Bess," with lyrics by DuBose Heyward, the author of the novel "Porgy" on which the opera was based. The song soon became a popular and much recorded jazz standard, described as "without doubt ... one of the finest songs the composer ever wrote ... Gershwin's highly evocative writing brilliantly mixes elements of jazz and the song styles of blacks in the southeast United States from the early twentieth century". Composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim has characterized Heyward's lyrics for "Summertime" and "My Man's Gone Now" as "the best lyrics in the musical theater". There have been over 30,000 recordings of "Summertime". In 2001, Porgy and Bess was proclaimed the official opera of the state of South Carolina.

Sunrise, Sunset (Jerry Bock & Sheldon Harnick, 1964) (Am & Dm) from "Fiddler On The Roof"
A song from the 1964 Broadway musical and 1971 film "Fiddler on the Roof," performed at the wedding of Tevye and Golde's eldest daughter, Tzeitel. The two parents sing about how they can't believe their daughter has grown up, while Hodel and Perchik sing about whether there may be a wedding in the nearby future for them.
Lyricist Sheldon Harnick said:
     "I do remember when we wrote "Sunrise Sunset," the first person we played it for was Jerry Bock's wife...and when I finished, then I looked at Jerry's wife Patti and I was startled to see that she was crying. And I thought my goodness; this song must be more effective than we even know. And the same thing happened – I am not a pianist but the music to "Sunrise Sunset" is easy enough so that I could learn the piano part – and I played it for my sister. And when I finished I looked and she had tears in her eyes. And that was a very unusual experience."
The Irish Times said the song has a "hypnotic chorus". AllMusic deemed it one of the film's "famous and now-standard songs". The Broadway musical won nine Tony Awards while the film won three Academy Awards and two Golden Globe awards. Second Hand Songs reports 115 recordings of this song.

Sweet Georgia Brown (Ben Bernie, Maceo Pinkard & Kenneth Casey, 1925)
Composer Ben Bernie came up with the concept for the song's lyrics after meeting Dr. George Thaddeus Brown in New York City. Dr. Brown, a longtime member of the State House of Representatives for Georgia, spoke about his daughter, Georgia, and how after to the girl's birth on August 11, 1911, the Georgia General Assembly had issued a declaration that she was to be named Georgia after the state, an anecdote which would be directly referenced by the song's lyric: "Georgia claimed her – Georgia named her." The tune was first recorded on March 19, 1925, by bandleader Ben Bernie, resulting in a five-week number one for Ben Bernie and his Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra.
One of the most popular versions of "Sweet Georgia Brown" was recorded in 1949 by Brother Bones and His Shadows and later adopted as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team in 1952. Sweet Georgia Brown, Wikipedia.

The Ballad of Thunder Road (C) & The Ballad of Thunder Road (G) (Don Raye & Robert Mitchum, 1957), theme song of the movie "Thunder Road."
This song was performed and co-written by actor Robert Mitchum in 1957. The song made the Billboard Hot 100 twice, in 1958 and 1962. The song moves ominously between minor and major keys. Mitchum got the tune for the song from a Norwegian folk-dance (Gammel Reinlender) song his mother used to sing to him. It has been incorrectly written that Jack Marshall was a co-author. The record label from 1958 identifies Marshall as the conductor of the orchestra and chorus that accompanied Mitchum on the recording. The Ballad of Thunder Road, Wikipedia

The Music Of The Night (C) & The Music Of The Night (F)  (Andrew Lloyd Webber & Charles Hart, 1986) from "The Phantom of the Opera"
This major song from the 1986 musical was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Charles Hart. The song is sung after the Phantom lures Christine Daaé to his lair beneath the Opera House. He seduces Christine with "his music" of the night, his voice putting her into a type of trance. He sings of his unspoken love for her and urges her to forget the world and life she knew before. The Phantom leads Christine around his lair, eventually pulling back a curtain to reveal a mannequin dressed in a wedding gown resembling Christine. When she approaches it, it suddenly moves, causing her to faint. The Phantom then carries Christine to a bed, where he lays her down and goes on to write his music.
Initially made famous by Michael Crawford, the actor who originated the role of the Phantom both in the West End and on Broadway, "The Music of the Night" has appeared on many cast recordings of the musical, sold millions of copies worldwide, and has been translated into many languages.

The Rainbow Connection (Paul Williams & Kenneth Ascher, 1978) (C F & G) from "The Muppet Movie"
A song from the 1979 film "The Muppet Movie" performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson) playing the banjo in the film. It reached #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1979, remaining in the Top 40 for seven weeks. Williams and Ascher received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song at the 52nd Academy Awards.
Williams has said that his favorite lyrics in the song are "Who said that every wish/ Would be heard and answered/ When wished on the morning star?/ Somebody thought of that/ And someone believed it/ Look what it's done so far", because they imply that "there's power in your thoughts". He also noted that the lyrical phrasing was written specifically with Kermit’s speech patterns in mind.
Allmusic observed that "'Rainbow Connection' serves the same purpose in "The Muppet Movie" that "Over the Rainbow" served in "The Wizard of Oz," with nearly equal effectiveness: an opening establishment of the characters' driving urge for something more in life."
The American Film Institute named "Rainbow Connection" the 74th greatest movie song of all time in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs. Kermit the Frog reprised the song on The Muppet Show in 1980 as a duet with Debbie Harry when she was a guest star. Rainbow Connection, Wikipedia

In Oklahoma Territory, in 1906, cowboy Curly McLain looks forward to a beautiful day as he visits farm girl Laurey Williams's yard ("Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin'"). He and Laurey tease each other, while her Aunt Eller looks on. There will be a box social dance that night and Curly asks Laurey to go with him, but she refuses, feeling that he has waited too long. To persuade her, he says he will take her in the finest carriage money can buy, a Surrey with the fringe on top, but she teases him about it until he says he made it up to get back at her. She flounces off, not realizing that he really has rented such a surrey. The Surrey With the Fringe on Top, Wikipedia; Oklahoma!, Wikipedia; Oklahoma! (1955 film), Wikipedia.

They Call the Wind Maria (Alan J. Lerner & Frederick Loewe, 1951) (C & F) from "Paint Your Wagon"
"A sad and wistful song about being far from home" wrote Princeton University historian Robert V. Wells about the popular song from the 1951 Broadway musical "Paint Your Wagon." A striking feature of the song in the original orchestration (also used in many cover versions), is a driving, staccato rhythm, played on the string instruments, that evokes a sense of restless motion. First recorded by Vaughn Monroe and his Orchestra in 1951 it has been covered by a wide selection of artists. Best known is the version by Harve Presnell for the 1969 movie adaptation.
The song came from the protagonist in George Rippey Stewart's 1941 novel "Storm." In the 1947 reprint, Stewart wrote about the pronunciation of "Maria":
     "The soft Spanish pronunciation is fine for some heroines, but our Maria here is too big for any man to embrace and much too boisterous." He went on to say, "So put the accent on the second syllable, and pronounce it 'rye'".
On the song sheet, we've kept the phonetic spelling of "Mariah."
The American singer, songwriter and producer Mariah Carey was named after this song. They Call the Wind Maria, Wikipedia

This Land is Your Land (Lyrics by Woody Guthrie, 1940; Music "When the World's on Fire," a Carter Family tune which was based on "Oh, My Loving Brother", a Baptist gospel hymn)
Written in 1940, recorded in 1944, and published 1945; in 2002, "This Land Is Your Land" was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
As with other folk songs, it was sung with different words at various times although the motives for any particular change of lyrics may involve the possible political interpretations of the verses. Recordings of Guthrie have him singing the verses with different words. It has also been the subject of many parodies.
Inspired by its political message, the song was revived in the 1960s by several artists of the new folk movement, including Bob Dylan, The Kingston Trio, Trini Lopez, Jay and the Americans, and The New Christy Minstrels. Numerous other artists have covered the song including Peter, Paul and Mary, Pete Seeger, and Arlo Guthrie.

Toora Loora Looral (James Royce Shannon, 1913)
"Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That's an Irish Lullaby)" is an Irish-American song written in 1913 by James Royce Shannon (1881–1946) for the Broadway musical "Shameen Dhu" (32 performances; Feb. 2, 1914 - Feb. 28, 1914). The original recording of the song on July 30, 1913 by Chauncey Olcott, peaked at #1 on the music charts in December 1913. Bing Crosby's performance in the 1944 "Going My Way" renewed the song's popularity. Crosby's single sold over a million copies and peaked at #4 on the Billboard music charts; because of problems with the original, he re-recorded the song on July 17, 1945. It has been recorded by many artists.

While Strolling Through the Park One Day ("The Fountain in the Park") (Ed Haley, ca. 1880)
Published in 1884 by Willis Woodward & Co. of New York, but dating from about 1880, it is best known for the being the source of the tune that contains the lyric "While strolling through the park one day, in the merry merry month of May," and has been featured in numerous films, including "Strike Up the Band" (1940), in which it was sung by Judy Garland.
A few bars of "The Fountain in the Park" were sung on the Moon by NASA Astronauts Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan on the Apollo 17 mission. Schmitt started by singing "I was strolling on the Moon one day..." when Cernan joined in. Cernan kept with the original "merry month of May", however, while Schmitt sang "December", which was the actual date of the mission.

Anyway, then I went home and wrote this song."

You Are My Sunshine  (Paul Rice, with the rights purchased by Jimmie Davis & Charles Mitchell, 1939) (C)
"You Are My Sunshine" is a song popularized by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell in 1939. It has been declared one of the state songs of Louisiana because of its association with Davis, a country music singer and governor of the state in the years 1944–1948 and 1960–1964.
The song has been recorded numerous times — so often, in fact, that it is "one of the most commercially programmed numbers in American popular music." In 1941, it was recorded by Gene Autry, Bing Crosby, Mississippi John Hurt, Wayne King, and Lawrence Welk. The versions by Autry, Crosby, and King reached the US charts of the day.
