It's a huge task to 'name the song', whatever is chosen will be loved by some loathed by others.

Of course--this is a fanciful exercise. But I like those suggestions of the older classics. Gershwin, Weill (did anyone listen to "The Saga of Jenny"--very "up" in a perverse sort of way on Don's briefly sketched system. And that was a funny story, Don! I was out in that audience a few times, I'm happy to say. Mainly with eyes for only a couple of performers known to me. You, Dad, Stan, Pete Seeger. . . )

Name some more torch songs. What did Dietrich or Garbo or whoever of that ilk sing in their old movies with songs and the Euro song tradition in composers and lyrics (the brain drain before and during WWII)?

What about an animatedly angry song, like "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair" from South Pacific or "Just You Wait" from My Fair Lady.
