Follow-up question - plus Streisand's recording

In reply to: Question about title tune: "Funny Girl" - lordofspeech 10:15 am EDT 09/10/14
There IS a "Funny Girl" title song that came out shortly after the show opened. I don't know the genesis ---(a) whether it was written for the show and dropped, (b)whether it was written after the opening to give the show a title song, but never used, or (c) a song intended to capitalize on the new hit show/star, but never intended to be used in the show. The upbeat jazzy scoring seems out of keeping with the style of the show. Perhaps some other poster knows the answer. In any event, I've attached a link to the song itself, curiously attached to a Betty Boop cartoon.

Link Streisand sings "Funny Girl" title song - 1964
