Unfortunately that's not actually the name of the song. You don't suck. I've got fairly eclectic taste.

Bugger.

Oh well.

Something to do with birds, isn't it?

YUP! I'll definitely give you credit for getting Bob Marley. It's not an obvious title.

2. I can't remember if it's called "Not in Springtime" or "If Ever I Could Leave You", but it's from "Camelot" and is sung by Lancelot to Gwenevire.

3. "Let's Misbehave" though I confess I only know this because of the White Collar vid. (I mean, I knew the song before, but not the verse.) Don't know which musical it's from so I'm going to guess and say "Red, Hot and Blue" or something like that.

6. I totally should know this. I think it's Sondheim, but from something pastiche-y, like "Merrily We Roll Along" or "Saturday Night".

11 & 12 both sound like Porter, but not sure which. Darn verses.

14. "Begin the Beguine" which I associated with Fred Astaire but don't know which musical it's from originally.

1-It's actually "If Ever I Would Leave You." unfeathered got there a little ahead of you.

3. Yes! It's a sneaky one, because it didn't get used in the show it was originally written for. The version I have is the one that Elvis Costello sang in De-Lovely.

6.Nope.

11 & 12-Nope.

14-YES! Originally from Jubilee. My version is a FABULOUS live performance by Sammy Davis Jr.

3. Well, that explains it -- because the White Collar vid uses the Elvis Costello version. Thinking on it a bit more, I think this is from "Anything Goes" actually.

6. This is what I had in mind (pastichey Sondheim, but not the same lyrics and obviously not the song you had): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2NfsZzSTTQ

12. Hah, I kept thinking it must be something like "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" so clearly there was a Sinatra reference pinging in my brain somewhere.

You do mean 5 instead of 3, right? Now I'm getting confuzzled.

For #12, I'm going to give you another shot at the performer, in deference to the land down under. Hint. Hint.

Is it David Campbell? I'm going to see him in Feb, and if you're a musical lover, that is how you'd know of him?!

#1 is Be-bop-a-lu-la by Gene Vincent, or similar? It was one of my Dad's often-played, I remember asking him how you can have "red blue" jeans.

#11 is God Only Knows, by the Beach Boys. #14 is Begin The Beguine, but I don't know who's recorded that in English. John Barrowman perhaps?
