Sobre el álbum
La banda sonora de Funny Girl es la obra que inmortalizó a Barbra Streisand en el cine y que la convirtió en un icono global. Tras su arrollador éxito en Broadway, en este álbum la artista reinterpreta para la gran pantalla las canciones que la habían hecho famosa, con una fuerza y una madurez aún mayores. La música de Jule Styne y Bob Merrill adquiere una nueva dimensión, gracias a los suntuosos arreglos orquestales y a una interpretación vocal que le valdría el Oscar a la mejor actriz.
Además, el disco contiene versiones definitivas de clásicos como "People" o "Don't Rain on My Parade", que se convirtieron en himnos indiscutibles de su repertorio. La banda sonora fue un éxito de ventas masivo en todo el mundo. "Funny Girl" no es solo un álbum; es un punto de inflexión cultural, la quintaesencia del talento de una artista total en la cima absoluta de su poder.

Letra
Fanny is now part of the Ziegfeld Follies. She tells Florenz Ziegfeld she doesn't want to be in the finale because she finds the lyrics inappropriate but Ziegfeld insists. [Tenor:] For better or for worse, "Oh Promise Me," Why does every bride glow ravishingly? Within the secret heart of every bride These are the words repeating, repeating, Repeating inside: (Bing, bong, bing, bong) You are the beautiful reflection Of his love's affection, A walking illustration Of his adoration His love makes you beautiful, So beautiful, So beautiful, You ask your looking glass, What is it? Makes you so exquisite? The answer to your query Comes back, dearie-- His love makes you beautiful, So beautiful, So beautiful, And woman loved is woman glorified! You'll make a beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful bride! [Chorus:] Here comes the bride, Another beautiful bride. Ziegfeld presents her With justifiable pride. Fanny enters with a pillow stuffed under her bridal gown so that she appears pregnant. [Fanny:] I am the beautiful reflection Of my love's affection, A walking illustration Of his adoration. His love makes me beautiful, So beautiful, So beautiful, [Tenor:] And woman loved is woman glorified-- [Fanny:] I'll make a beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful-- I'm beautiful? Oy! [Chorus:] You are so beautiful, You are so beautiful, You are so beautiful, [Tenor:] Such a beautiful bride. - People5:02

Letra
Funny Did you hear that? Funny Yeah, the guy said "Honey, you're a funny girl." That's me I just keep them in stitches Doubled in half, And though I may be all wrong for a guy, I'm good for a laugh, I guess it's not funny, Life is far from sunny, When the laugh is over And the joke's on you, A girl ought a have a sense of humor That's one thing you really need for sure When you're a funny girl The fella said "A funny girl" Funny How it ain't so funny, Funny girl - My Man2:11
