So many to pick but 'Thank yo very much' it has to be!!!

I have a morbid sense of humor, so seeing a bunch or people sing and dance because some awful person just died cracks me up. And the fact that Scrooge sings along with them because he doesn't know what's going on just puts me over the edge.

Same.

We watched this one in the fourth grade and all left the auditorium singing it.

No question, it's "Thank You Very Much." That one is contagious.

No blah, blah, blah!

For me, it's a toss-up between December the 25th and Thank You Very Much. This film is one of my favorites and has been since I saw it in the theatre.

Hands down "Thank you very Much" one of the Greatest Musical Numbers in Movie songs. Playing Tom Jenkins would be a blast to bad we do our Community Theater Musical in the Middle of the summer. I also liked the Song Little Tim sings. What a great Film Masterpiece.

Now my only problem is that after watching it today I can't get the song "Thank you very Much" out of my head. HELP!!!!!

My favorite musical number is "Thank You Very Much", this is my favorite adaptation of Dickens' novel.

So hard to choose! All the songs are terrific, but I'd have to choose "Father Christmas" and "Thank You Very Much," followed closely by "I Like Life," "Happiness" and Tiny Tim's song.

"Don't dream it, be it."

Definitely "Thank You Very Much", it's always the one I end up singing after watching this.

I can't believe you put Tiny Tim's song Toby; I always skip through that part. He's very cute, yes, but I can't stand hearing the out-of-tune singing. And "my WISSSSHHH"...

Well because of the success of the song, it's usually taken away from Tom Jenkins and given to the star, certainly in the versions I've seen.

Well if you did do the musical version you would probably find that the song has been taken from Tom Jenkins and given to the star - I would guess because its become so popular. This has certainly happened in the versions I've seen.

Much as KatBaloo stated above (not to mention 2 years ago), the Christmas Children song and the sequence in which its sung in the movie has an interesting, welcoming vibe to it that always resonates with me the most. Admittedly, the majority of the songs in this kick a$$ movie are in my heart, as this was the version of 'A Christmas Carol' which I grew up with, but as Cratchit and his two younglings traverse the streets of London accruing their quite meager but also quite sufficient wares for a Merry Christmas (to them anyways), and seeing the parallels with the very well off shopping for the much more expensive wines, foods, and gifts, it draws a very subtle yet stunning conclusion that one's enjoyment of the holiday is not derived from one's purse, just from the energy they put into embracing the spirit of Christmas. Plus it reminds me (a blue collar boy) of when me and my family would do similar, simplistic things at Christmas to enjoy it to the fullest. It's an overlooked song in a (quite unfortunately) overlooked film.

The soundtrack requires multiple listenings, but most definatley grows on you
Father Christmas
Happiness (although certainly not when I was younger)

''A Christmas Carol'', ''Happiness'' and ''I Like Life''. But, Its so had to choose-they're ALL terrific.

They're all wonderful, for different reasons--joyful, fun, lighthearted, wistful, touching, sentimental...the film touches me on many levels.

I don't know the song titles but I rather enjoyed the one where he sings "I hate people and I don't care if they hate me."
