For some reason I thought of the tin whistle intro to “My Heart Will Go On”. :dubious: ---

“Black Boys are Delicious, Candy Coated Fun” from Hair. I must use my out-loud, can’t-carry-a-tune-in-a-bucket voice, but I hear in my head an old friend’s voice singing it, and visualize a very young Nell Carter dancing. No clue why, except maybe an inside joke/attempt to torment (which has become habit) a very close gay friend who dislikes musicals in general and hated Hair with a flaming purple passion. Who also is not black, nor has any particular interest in black men. AFAIK, Maggie has never sang any part of that song in my presence, either. That particular line is simply the very first thing that pops into my head. ---

Lord of the Rings, because I’m listening to it right now. Otherwise, probably Gladiator, which was the first soundtrack I really fell in love with – completely incidental to Russell Crowe, I swear. I guess the answer is historical/fantasy epics, especially when there are orchestras and choirs together. ---
