Your spelling is correct! But in the song, the name Maria is pronounced Ma-rye-ah (a long "i"), which is different from the usual pronunciation Ma-ree-ya (with a long "e") (like the song from West Side Story). But both are spelled the same. I noticed that in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, Maria (Charlotte Lucas' younger sister) is pronounced with a long "I; in the more recent BBC production of Belgravia, Sophia is similarly pronounced with a long "i" rather than a long "e". Maybe it's a British thing?

Best version of “Cheek to Cheek” was by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong”.

For what it's worth. It wasn't just the great Leonard... Re New York and a gazillion other mid century classics, Green and Comden equally beyond the pale

Being born in '60, I have heard a lot of what went on in the '50s and '60s

This was a fabulous video. It makes me sad though because they don’t make films or musicals like this anymore. I am familiar with everything presented. Thank you for putting America as number one.❤

What about "Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho (It's off to work we go!)" from Snow White? Talk about putting a positive spin about going to the drudgery of mining...

Had a scary job interview one morning and pulled into a park to lay on the grass and try to calm down. Took a few deep breaths and 'heard' 🎼🎶🎵 God's Holy Spirit singing HI HO HI HO IT'S OFF TO WORK WE GO 🎼🎵🎶 No more fear❤ The interview was a breeze. 🕊 ✌ 😇. Thank you Universe.

13:09 My only comment is that is not a top hat on Fred Astaire; it appears to be a boater. But other than that fabulous video!

I would add "A Lovely Night," sung by Lesley Ann Warren in Cinderella.

And another one missing IMO is Disney's "Zip-a-dee-do-dah".

Unfortunately Disney thought Song of the South controversial, so the songs/movie will eventually be obliterated from history. Which is very sad, as Uncle Remus was a beloved character.

@@lookingattv I agree, so sad. I loved his kindness and gentleness toward children and animals.

Don't Rain on My Parade is notoriously difficult, especially in a rhythmic sense, which seems to me opposite of "catchy". I'd say it's dramatic but not catchy. When I saw the thumbnail, even though I knew it was the costume for Get Happy, I was kind of hoping for On the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe from The Harvey Girls. But that probably would have been too much Judy Garland. I was happy to see Consider Yourself and others on the list.

It’s a tough song definitely not catchy
