"'''Miss Marmelstein'''" is a song composed by [[Harold Rome]], first introduced by [[Barbra Streisand]] in the Broadway musical ''[[I Can Get It for You Wholesale]]''. The young secretary Miss Marmelstein is a supporting role in the show; in the song she laments everyone addressing her so formally. The song became the most memorable part of the musical, with Streisand routinely stopping the show.<ref>[http://www.bjsmusic.com/wholesal.html BJSMusic] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090115234833/http://www.bjsmusic.com/wholesal.html |date=2009-01-15 }}</ref>
The song was released as a promotional only single to radio in April 1962 with "Who Knows?" (performed by [[Marilyn Cooper]]) on the b-side. This marked Streisand's first appearance on a [[Columbia Records]] single.
