Dina Thompson performs Adelaide's Lament from the broadway musical "Guys and Dolls". Adelaide's Lament" was written by Frank Loesser and published in 1950. The song was introduced in the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls which opened on November 24, 1950. In the song, Adelaide alternates between reading sentences aloud from a pop psychology book and commenting on what she is reading. The textbook discusses psychosomatic illness, and the singer posits that her constant common cold may actually be a manifestation of her resentment over her boyfriend's constant assurances of imminent marriage, which he never fulfills. It has been called "one of the great songs of American musical theatre.
