- Steward.

- Come right ahead.

- The food!

- We've been waiting all afternoon for you.

I want my Aunt Minnie!

From this moment on

You and I, babe

We'll be riding high, babe

Every care is gone

From this moment on

Kiss Me Kate

with Cole Porter's lilting music...

choreographed by Hermes Pan...

and performed by Ann Miller

and company.

That's Bob Fosse

dancing with Carol Haney.

I wonder what ever happened to him.

I love the looks of you

The lure of you

I'd love to make

a tour of you

The arms, the eyes

the mouth of you

The east, west, north

and the south of you

I'd love to gain

complete control of you

And handle even the heart

and soul of you

So love, at least,

a small percent of me, do

For I love all of you

Cyd Charisse, lovely Cyd Charisse.

How she dances.

This is from Silk Stockings.

I get too hungry for dinner at 8.;00

I like the theater but never come late

I never bother with people I hate

That's why the lady is a tramp

Beautiful Lena Horne sings a great

Rodgers and Hart standard...

from the film Words and Music.

Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls

Don't dish the dirt

With the rest of the girls

That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the free, fresh wind in my hair

Life without care

I'm broke, that's oke

Hate California, it's cold and it's damp

That's why the lady

is a tramp

They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

Jerome Kern wrote some of

the loveliest melodies I've ever heard.

And none lovelier than this one,

sung by Kathryn Grayson...

and danced by

Marge and Gower Champion.

Something here inside

Cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find

All who love are blind

When your heart's on fire

You must realize

Smoke gets in your eyes

I could hardly wait to keep our date

This lovely Easter morning

Someone once asked Jerome Kern...

where in American music

he would place Irving Berlin.

Mr. Kern replied,

"Irving Berlin is American music."

For

In your Easter bonnet

with all the frills upon it

You'll be the grandest fella

in the Easter parade

I'll be all in clover

and when they look us over

We'll be the proudest couple

in the Easter parade

On the avenue

Fifth A venue

The photographers will snap us

And you'll find

that you're in the rotogravure

Oh, I could write a sonnet

about your Easter bonnet

And of the guy I'm taking

to the Easter parade

On the avenue

Fifth A venue

The photographers will snap us

And you'll find

that you're in the rotogravure

I could write a sonnet

about your Easter bonnet

And of the girl I'm taking

to the Easter parade

Anything that happens in life

can happen on the screen

Fantasies appear

Colorful and queer

Watch me

You'll see just what I mean

First

Take the red from the scene

After that

Please remove all the green

Then the yellow and blue,

make them disappear, too

What's left?

Black and white

But that's quite all right

It's entertainment

You came

I was alone

Here's Bing Crosby...

starting us off in some numbers

filmed in glorious black and white.

The siren he's singing to is Fifi D'Orsay.

The film is Going Hollywood.

Born to be kissed

I can't resist

You are temptation

and I am yours

Here is my heart

Take it and say

we'll never part

I'm just a slave

Only a slave

to you

Temptation

Dear, when you smiled at me

I heard a melody

It haunted me from the start

Judy Garland told me

that this is the song she sang...

for her audition at MGM.

By the way, she got the job.

Zing! Went the strings of my heart!

I still recall the thrill

I guess I always will

I hope 'twill never depart

I knew I loved you heaps

and you were mine for keeps

Zing! Went the strings

of my heart!

The wonderful Ethel Waters

in Cabin in the Sky.

And that's Rochester on guitar.

Here I go again

I'm hearing trumpets blow again

All aglow again

Taking a chance on love

Here I slide again

About to take that ride again

Starry-eyed again

Taking a chance on love

I thought the cards were a frame-up

And I never would try

But now I'm taking the game up

And the ace of hearts is high

Things are mending now

I see a rainbow blending now

We'll have our happy ending now

Taking a chance on love

Got to swing that jinx away

Swing a hi-de-hey

Hi-de-hey-de

Rap, tap on wood

Eleanor Powell in Born to Dance.

And she sure was.

Three cheers for the red, white, and blue

Three cheers for the red, white, and blue

The Army and Navy forever

Three cheers

for the red, white, and blue

Men, the ship we were waiting

for is anchored in the river...

but it's in the hands of the police.

Our plan's been discovered,

and if we're ever to have our freedom...

we've got to fight for it tonight.

Who's with me?

Not me.

All right, if I have to, I'll go alone.

- Wait, Charles. I'll go with you.

- One man at last.

And me, too.

Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald

were the king and queen of operetta...

and New Moon

was one of their most popular.

Now we're 10! That makes an army.

Come on!

Give me some men

Who are stout-hearted men

Who will fight for the right they adore

Start me with ten

Who are stout-hearted men

And I'll soon give you ten thousand more

I'm going.

Shoulder to shoulder

And bolder and bolder

They grow as they go to the fore

Then there's nothing in the world

Can halt or mar a plan

When stout-hearted men

Can stick together man to man

Charles, you can't fight

the whole French fleet.

It's fight or perish

for every man on this island.

- Charles.

- Goodbye, Marianne.

Forgive me for any grief

I've ever caused you.

Charles.

You'll come back, Charles.

You must come back to me.

This eager heart of mine is singing

Lover, come back to me

Near or far, where ever you are

I'm coming back to you

Love will guide me

In the light that follows night

I'll see you smiling through

Your love

Will be beside me

The sky is blue

The night is cold

The moon is new

But love is old

And while you're waiting there

This heart of mine is singing

I will come back

- To you

- To me

Oh, what a tune

One of my favorite comedians...

also happens to be

one of my favorite human beings...

that lovable lunatic, Jimmy Durante.

It's got the whole world spooning

I'm walking down the street

I'm walking down the street

Tell me, Mr. James,

now just what did you accomplish?

That note was given to me

by Bing Crosby...

and was he glad to get rid of it.

I got rhythm, I got music

I got my man

Who could ask for anything more?

I got daisies

Now, Busby Berkeley's dude-ranch finale

from Girl Crazy...

with Judy, Mickey, and Tommy Dorsey.

Old Man Trouble,

I don't mind him

You won't find him 'round my door

I got starlight

I got sweet dreams

I got my man

Who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything more?

Who could ask for anything more?

Be a clown, be a clown

All the world loves a clown

Take a pie in the face

And you'll wow the whole human race

In the beginning,

there was slapstick comedy.
