My Favorite Things (song) My Favorite Things (song) "My Favorite Things" is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The Sound of Music." In the original Broadway production, this song was introduced by Mary Martin playing Maria and Patricia Neway playing Mother Abbess. Julie Andrews, who played Maria in the 1965 film version of the musical, had previously sung the song on the Christmas special for "The Garry Moore Show".

Its verses are significantly faster than the slow, bass-heavy chorus where the drums run at half-time. Worldwide, "My Favourite Game" was the most commercially successful single from "Gran Turismo". Peaking at number sixteen in America, it became the album's only single and the band's second single to enter the "Billboard" Modern Rock Tracks since
