“I want a hippopotamus for christmas...only a hippopotamus will do.”

Several years ago I put that on a Christmas CD for a friend of mine. Her daughter loved it and made her play it over and over. Friend didn’t know which was worse - that one, or the song from “Frozen,” “Let It Go.”

... and made her play it over and over.

Too late now, but if your friend was smart, she could have tied it to "Through the Looking Glass", and only do hippo-related things on Thursdays.

I'd have to go with Bach's Brandenberg Concerto #2, First Movement, if you're being picky.

Glenn Miller’s In The Mood.

I'll leave #3 open...

Actually, it is a very cute “novelty” song.

I was just being a PITA because the topic is very subjective.

Best “song/performance” is in the eye/ear of the beholder.
