one song a day: song fourteen | song that no one would expect you to love

Of the Golden Age of American musicals, this is my favorite (and apparently it's Seth McFarlane's favorite too—songs often making appearances in episodes of Family Guy). Watching Harold Hill as he charms and cons an entire town echos everything from politics to advertising. Creating false problems so that you can offer the solution (at a cost, of course). And while what he's doing is so devious in nature, you can't help but admire his cunning—even if it's through song. Every time I see someone on the right give a speech, I can't help but think of Harold Hill (though, with far less flair).
