Song Selection
Each chapter is free to choose their own music. For male barbershop chapters, the typical two song selection is:
- Heart of My Heart, I Love You (the chorus from the Story of the Rose), and
- Let Me Call You Sweetheart
There are standard barbershop arrangements for these two songs from the Barbershop Harmony Society collection of twelve polecat songs (that society members are encouraged to learn).
The female barbershop societies do not suggest particular songs for chapters to use in this fundraiser.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or selection:
“They seldom looked happy. They passed one another without a word in the elevator, like silent shades in hell, hell-bent on their next look from a handsome stranger. Their next rush from a popper. The next song that turned their bones to jelly and left them all on the dance floor with heads back, eyes nearly closed, in the ecstasy of saints receiving the stigmata.”
—Andrew Holleran (b. 1943)
“Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
