I'd read that Jule Styne was vehemently opposed to using "My Man" in the Funny Girl stage show. I'm not sure if he went into Gypsy mode over it (ie, threatening to withdraw his entire score unless "Little Lamb" was reinstated) but he made it clear the song wasn't needed, since he and Bob Merrill could come up with something equally good. And on the basis of "The Music That Makes Me Dance," he may have been right.

He lobbied against using "My Man" in the film, but he was overruled. And he went on record stating that the stage show's conclusion was far more effective than the film's.
