I always said that the reason I joined the show choir in my community college was to do this number. That wasn’t quite true, as we also did summer tours of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia in the year and a half I was in the group — but I think that "Favorite Son" from "The Will Rogers Follies" was the pop number I looked forward to most. (Our poor choreographer must have watched this clip from the Broadway production a thousand times, but it was worth every second, as we did exactly the same choreography, with tambourine hats. I was on the end, stage right.) Very difficult, but worth it — so much sheer fun!
Thought this was appropriate for the present election season — but oh, if only Will was still around!
