And of course musically speaking, "My Time of Day" is actually quite complex - but it flows so well from one idea to the next that you almost don't realize it.

Right, simple probably wasn't the right word.

I think these days composers and lyrics see density as the best expression of complexity.

(But I'll leave the nuts and bolts of that conversation to you musical types.)

Having sat in on auditions once for GUYS & DOLLS, I can say that those tricky intervals in "My Time of Day" have caused many a potential Sky to fall!

But Loesser was a genius, and he knew when to match complexity in the music to simplicity in the lyric. And the other way around.

And I couldn't agree more about "Michael In The Bathroom."
