Nixon's favorite musical? To test my iPod, I'm playing a musical both I and, reporttedly Richard Nixon, enjoyed in the 1970s.

Nixon, it is claimed, had a song cut from the movie version.

Name the musical.

For some reason Carousel rings a bell.

Hello Dolly!

On another note, you seem a tad obsessed with Dick ortho. Not that it's a bad thing, he's an interesting man to be obsessed with. Myself, I'm obsessed with Julius Caesar.

I knew I'd heard this a some point.
"President Richard Nixon was given a private screening of the movie before its release by his friend Jack L. Warner, the producer. The song "Cool, Considerate Men" offended Nixon, so Warner removed it at his request. The song was restored on the Deluxe Widescreen Presentation Laserdisc (and was included on the DVD)."
