perhaps for this evening a list of my dirty little secret (as in, no irony here) favorite songs of all time...i'm sure there are more, but these are the ones that popped into my head tonight.
on my own from les miserables
the gambler by kenny rogers
what a feeling (the flashdance theme) - irene cara, tied with maniac from the same movie
day by day from godspell
honourable mention to samba lèlè as sung by raffi (i’m technically too old for it now)
