I know a lot of people adore "I Ain't Down Yet", and even Gale Storm, may she rest in peace, adopted it as sort of her own personal anthem and she did play Molly Brown on stage...but my favorite is simply "Belly up to the Bar". I love the music but can't find the right keys on my piano to play it like she does.
shareI agree with "He's my Friend".
"We don't use the word 'insane'. We prefer the term 'mentally hilarious'".
"I'll Never Say No," "Soliloquy," or "Belly up to the Bar, Boys!" Probably the first. NOT "He's my Friend," which inspired some fun choreography, but is really annoying as a song.

I actually think that as a musical, this film is very weak. I don't like the songs much, except for Colorodo, My Home, and the score in the first half of the film. But, I thought everything in the second half was blah.
Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!
Yes the songs are forgettable. Most good musicals spawn a song that becomes a standard...even ok ones, think "That Old Devil Moon" from Finian's Rainbow.
Rogers and Hammerstein it is not.
