• There will be one last seduction song right after this set, so I hope you stick around for it.

• For this last set, we begin with the song that gave me the idea for this show, “Hernando’s Hideaway” from The Pajama Game. We will follow that with “Moonfall” from The Mystery of Edwin Drood. And we will finish with Yves Montand seducing Barbra Streisand telepathically with “Come Back to Me” from the film version of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Remember, there is an additional song after this set. Here is “Hernando’s Hideaway” from The Pajama Game.

• You just heard “Turn Back, O Man” from Godspell which concludes today’s show of Songs of Seduction.
