WORST Rodgers & Hammerstein Song EVER


Lots of corny fun, some pretty tunes and 'Grand Night for Singing' is addictive BUT 'I Owe Ioway' song is the absolute lowest point of R&H, the music and the lyrics deserve each other. Can't believe they actually wrote it.

I like it.

You have great courage and truthfulness to stand up on a blog and say that you actually LIKE such a musical atrocity. Like it compared to...what!

Clearly you've never heard "Chop Suey" from FLOWER DRUM SONG. 😀

Sad and funny, sour and honey dewy,
Chop suey! chop suey!


Pretty appalling. But still think Ioway is the worst.

I'm with owlnut. I like it.
And I like "Chop Suey"

Now "Happy Talky" (or whatever it is called) is one that I cannot stand.
But I won't belittle anyone who does like it.
