Annie Get Your Gun
by Irving Berlin
Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard Feb 2026 on Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
The general take
Jonathan Groff has a nostalgic appreciation for the Annie Get Your Gun record, describing how he'd play the Ethel Merman LP repeatedly on his family's record player growing up in the early 90s. He seems to value it as a formative musical experience from childhood, though the quote focuses more on the memory of listening than on any particular artistic judgment of the show itself.

…jonathan recalling childhood musical obsessions on horse farm
“I went to the Lancaster Public Library and got the record LP. I mean, it's not like this was, like, the 60s. This was, like, 1992. But I got the LP record of Ethel Merman singing Annie Get Your Gun. And I would play the record of Annie Get Your Gun over and over again. And we had a record player in my house growing up and, like, a giant computer.”
