Picky, Picky

From a review of Christine Ebersole at the Cafe Carlyle:

Well-known standards, such as a jazzy "Fascinating Rhythm," a truly heartfelt "Bill," a bluesy "42nd Street," and a nicely bittersweet "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," alternated with more obscure tunes from the Great American Songbook, such as "I've Got Five Dollars," "Miss Johnson Phoned Again Today," "Cooking Breakfast for the One I Love," and "Why Don't We Try Staying Home?" each performed with style and elan.

"I've Got Five Dollars" obscure? I'm sorry, anything in Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Rodgers & Hart Songbook is not obscure.
