the 1920s number they did in season 2.
Also in season 2, the one where lucy is being an indian squaw.
the 'lady of spain' number in seadon 3
the 'shortening bread' sequence in season 4
The bullfight number in season 4

Lilly of the valley!

For Ricky's nightclub act, it would definitely be "See you in C-U-B-A!"

Otherwise,

"Shortnin' Bread" - Ethel
"My Chocolate Soldier" - Ethel
"Lilly of the Valley" - Ethel
"Red Red Robin, Come a Bob Bob Bobbin'" - Fred
"Sweet Sue" - the whole gang
"I Love Lucy" - Ricky
The Hawaiian song - Lucy, Ethel and Fred
Indian Love Song - Ricky and Lucy (and little Ricky, too)

But my all time favorite song (and possibly favorite moment) is when the four of them are heading out West and they spontaneously burst into "California, Here I Come!" I always get a little teary eyed from it.

Oooh, any of Vivian's songs. She really could sing. I loved her Albuquerque show, and her operatic-ish audition for Lilly of the Valley, where upon ending on a very high note, turns to Lucy and says "now you", and Lucy concedes.

Jezebel hands down. Sexy, stylish and soultry.

reply

The Y'all Come with Tennessee Ernie has always been a favorite. And the California Here I Come.

reply

The Y'all Come with Tennessee Ernie as well as the Square dance routine and song Tennessee Ernie did. and Cubain Pete and Sally Sweet.
