Don't forget that "Send In The Clowns" is the hit song from "A Little Night Music". I would think most people would consider it a memorable (hummable) tune.

BTW, I played this show when I was just out of college. It was another college's major musical production for the winter term. A friend and I covered the five woodwind books between the two of us. We marked all the pertinent solo and ensemble lines, and changed horns like mad. We had two stands full of music each. I played flute, picc, alto flute, oboe, cor anglais, clarinet and bass clarinet. My friend played flute, picc, alto flute, clarinet and bassoon. Looked like we'd opened a pawn shop in the pit. Possibly the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on.
