I don’t know about the best song, but it the GREATEST ending scene to a movie. Bill Murray at the end of the movie “Saint Vincent” singing Bob Dylan’s “Shelter from the Storm”.

Re the theme from “Exodus”, I was surprised to learn it was written by Pat Boone.
I was 16 going on 17 at the time of the movie The Sound of Music so of course “I am 16 Going on 17”
I talk to the trees (Clint Eastwood singing in Paint your Wagon)

One of my cult classics!
That’s the one! Fun movie and good for older kids (6-10)
This Nearly Was Mine - South Pacific.
"Rock Island"
I get the biggest kick out of that scene as it is a great example of Hollywood allusion. If you look out the train window as those guys are bouncing, you'll notice neither the scenery, nor the train bounces - the guys are bouncing up and down on their toes.
I noticed that about the scenery, too.
I saw The Music Man at the Los Angeles Philharmonic Auditorium--now a parking lot--on August 18, 1958. The sets were not very sophisticated, and the railroad car in which the "Rock Island" scene was set had lights flashing on and off, in progression, outside the windows of the car to give the illusion that it was moving.
Interesting. I didn’t know that. According to Wikipedia, “lyrics written by Pat Boone.” Love the lyrics, too.
Tonight Tonight (West Side Story)
People will say were in Love (Oklahoma)
Jean Jean (The Prime of Miss Brodie)
