 Pick-A-Little, Talk-A-Little Who likes the song, Pick-A-Little?
I love it, and if you know me well
you would know that!
I am singing it constantly
and people get pretty annoyed,
but once you see The Music Man
you have just got to love every
song in it!!!
Anyways, does anyone else
love this song?

It's definitely one of my favorites from Music Man.  It was my first show, so I always feel a special bond to it.

I am too young to try out for the music man, and you are lucky. My only chance would be to try to find The Music Man Jr. Lovely that The Music Man was your first show. Mine was Seussical the Musical.

Our school did that for it's musical this past year. That song tends to get stuck in my head very easily. Even now it's stuck in my head! That's only from looking at the song title! xD

Dear Showtunes,
Why are you too young to audition for Music Man? I've played Eulalie, and I've done costumes and makeup for it, plus we did it in my high school years ago...and it's always had kids as young as five and six in it. It's a show that has lots of room for people who aren't "adult" yet!!

It was my first show too! I loved it. The song was so much fun! I personally liked the first one better than the reprise, but they are both great!

So much room for comedy and character in this song. Still, it's a bit obnoxious. I guess that's part of the point. Looks like fun to perform!

Pickalittle became the official "earworm" of my production. Everyone was cheep-cheep-cheeping backstage.
Of course it's supposed to be obnoxious, Razadazzle. The song captures the lifestyle of high-society snobs who are nice to people to their face but gossip behind their back. In addition, they almost always do not know all the facts. ("She advocates dirty books! She had an affair with Miser Madison!") It's a brilliant satire of the rich stereotypical female backstabber. The women are even explicitly compared to clucking hens in the film.
Notice how nice they are to Marian (the reprise of Pickalittle) after Harold has them read Balzac and they see that it is not a dirty book.

As I said, it's part of the point.
