Board 8 > The Mount Rushmore of: Songs from Movie Musicals

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules

1. You may vote up to 4 entries that fit the prompt.
2. No alts.
3. No deleting or editing posts; though, editing posts shortly after you post is fine.
4. If you change your vote, clearly indicate that you are changing a previous vote. Same for adding or subtracting picks.
5. In general, if there are two picks that can be considered the same product (i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle), I will combine them.
6. If a vote is vague, I will pick the first available choice that best matches the vote (i.e. "Mario" for Wii Games becomes Super Mario Galaxy).
7. I will post the parameters of each Rushmore topic. Other than that, feel free to vote however you like and based on any criteria that best fits the "Mount Rushmore" of that topic.
8. If a vote doesn't fit the topic, it will count as a blank vote.
9. You may nominate as much as you want and have an unlimited amount of seconds for established nominations.
10. Every Sunday, I'll post the schedule for next week. I will pick based on the number of nominations. Any ties will be determined by RNG.

Honestly a shocking result! I thought Eddie Murphy or Will Ferrell would get the top spot, but Tina Fey takes it. I associate her the most with SNL as someone pretty removed from that fandom, so it makes sense.

Today's Parameters

You must pick songs from films that are musicals.

A musical film is a film with multiple songs in it, often where the songs move the plot and/or characterization. Animated films and live-action films both count.

Songs should be clearly defined as a song, usually with lyrics and a melody.

If films are adaptations, the song in the film should be the one considered.
