What are some "comic relief" songs from otherwise serious musicals?

For example, "Herod's Song" from Jesus Christ Superstar or "Master Of The House" from Les Miserables.

Any others?

    OK, "Kiss Me, Kate" isn't a terribly serious musical, but "Brush Up Your Shakepeare"

    fits the category, as it is sung by a pair of gangsters who have come to"persuade"

    one of the characters, but who, instead, get caught in the spotlight.
