http://www.joolsscott.co.uk The song was a hit in 1968 by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass on A&M 1001 (45rpm). The song has become a jazz standard, and has been performed by artists as diverse as John Coltrane, Stanley Jordan, Alice Coltrane, Carmen Lundy, Dave Brubeck, Kenny Rogers, Stringmansassy, Tanya Tucker, The Derek Trucks Band, Rod Stewart, Sarah Vaughan, The Supremes, Brian Setzer, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, André 3000 of OutKast, Kimiko Itoh, Big Brovaz, Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Andy Williams, The Lennon Sisters, Lorrie Morgan, Luther Vandross, Tartan Specials [1], Amanda Palmer and, Björk (in the movie Dancer in the Dark). Coltrane's album of the same name has been a landmark in the history of jazz for numerous reasons, not least for the rediscovery of soprano sax. The song was mixed by audio-trickster collective Negativland on their album No Business, which was released in 2005. The Lennon Sisters' version of this song appeared in the film adaptation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The song is played during the beginning, juxtaposed with various images from the 1960s. My Favorite Things is also said to have been Michael Jackson's favorite song of all time.
During 'The One Where Monica Gets A Roommate', the pilot of the sitcom Friends, Phoebe attempts to cheer up Rachel who has just jilted her fiance Barry after realising she didn't love him by singing her the song: "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens/Doorbells and sleigh bells and ...something with mittens/La la la, something, and noodles with string -", at which point Rachel hurriedly cuts her off and tells her she's "all better". Phoebe is genuinely overjoyed that she "helped".

What I need is a gentleman
Who does the best he can
There to hold my hand

Of course I want diamonds and expensive things
Cause a girl's gotta have her favourite things
Oh that's what you like nice type of life

Take care of business

Take me on a shopping spree

With what we have lets put it together and we can shine
We can shine

And I got what you need

An show you the way that a boy liquors down

So tell me what you do just to make you go wow uh

Simplicity easy to please but I like expensive things
For me you can buy diamonds and pearls
Just the little things I like in my world

Buy me diamonds and rubies
I'm crazy bout bentleys
Gucci dresses and drop-top compressors
Wine me and dine me
Bring those platinum rings
Those are a few of our favourite things
