"Consider Yourself" is a song from the 1960s original West End and Broadway musical ''Oliver!'' and the 1968 film of the same name. It was introduced on Broadway by Davy Jones and the ensemble. In the 1968 film version, it is performed in the market and led by Jack Wild's Artful Dodger. In all versions, Dodger sings it when he first meets Oliver, after offering to get the destitute and alone boy food and lodging. Lyrically, it is an enthusiastic gift of friendship from Dodger and his as-yet-unseen gang to Oliver, assuring him warmly he can consider himself 'our mate' and 'one of the family' as 'it's clear we're going to get along'. The 1968 film builds it to a spectacular extended song-and-dance routine involving the street crowd, market workers, policemen and chimney sweep boys. ==In popular culture== * In Christmas 2011, the BBC used famous actors to sing the song for promotion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.christmasuk.org/entry_1506 )〕 * In 2007, Richard Fleeshman and the cast of ''Avenue Q'' performed a cover version for the charity album ''Over The Rainbow''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Various-Over-The-Rainbow/release/1143449 )〕 * This song was also sung in the pilot episode of ''Sesame Street''. * A rearranged version of the song was used as the theme of the ITV sitcom ''Home to Roost''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/home_to_roost/details/ )〕 * Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song for their 1969 album ''The Chipmunks Go to the Movies''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Chipmunks-The-Chipmunks-Go-To-The-Movies/release/2008556 )〕 * In 1977, the song was sung by The Muppets on the seventh episode of the second season of ''The Muppet Show'' to its guest star Edgar Bergen and his dummy, Charlie McCarthy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.muppetcentral.com/guides/episodes/tms/season2/31_bergen.shtml )〕 * In the 1963 Christmas episode of ''The Judy Garland Show'', she sang it with her children Liza (Minnelli), Lorna and Joey (Luft). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Consider Yourself」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
