Princess of Tap Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 ( Marsha, I have the "Robin Hood" DVD where you can turn off the dialogue and just listen to the music and look at the screen. " Robin Hood" really works as a silent movie, believe it or not, even without the closed captioning.) " Tea for Two" by Vincent Youmans and Irving Caesar from No No Nanette is the top soft shoe number. Next: A song that is a perfect for a rhythmic rousing tap number.

MarshaKatz Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The "Begin the Beguine" tap dance routine performed by Fred Astaire & Eleanor Powell in "Broadway Melody of 1940" just keeps on building, and building and is perfectly sublime tap dancing. Next: A Cole Porter song which seems just to be added to a Fred & Ginger movie because it's Cole Porter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsha --I don't know of any Fred and Ginger movie like you requested. They perform " Night and Day in " The Gay Divorcée because it was the original song that was in the Broadway show. So when they bought the Broadway show they bought that song, so it wasn't added on. It's just that the other songs from the show were dropped. Maybe you're thinking of a different song? (BTW-- To add to the confusion, Lav was answering the same question that you answered--about the rousing tap-dancing number. Then Polecat answered her question.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. I'm always impressed by your vast knowledge of musicals, which, by the way have always been my favorite....especially on stage. I still get goose bumps just listening to the overtures of the stage musicals I've been fortunate to have seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshaKatz Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Princess, Is it "By Myself" which Fred often sings and was in "The Bandwagon" but was originally written by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz for their 1937 show "Between the Devil" and sung by Jack Buchanan?

It's not about guessing what the first poster (in this case Marsha) is thinking of. It's any film that the responder thinks of. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'first song that comes to mind' seems to infer that there are several that fit, but the first you thought of..I always thought the fun of it was that posters come up with all sorts of 'first thoughts'..same in 'first film' category, and that keeps the thread moving ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Yes, this thread along with The First Film That Comes To Mind is NOT like some of the other trivia threads where there is only 1 correct answer. Both of these threads were meant to just be "the first that comes to mind", not judgement that the posted response is right or wrong. Of course a response that has nothing to do with the song or film is ridiculous but turning both threads into something they're not meant to be takes the fun out of it. After the response is given, the next posed response should also not be so specific that there's only one possible answer.You're correct Shutoo, the first song or film that comes to mind is what keeps the thread moving quickly and that's what both threads were created for. These threads were not meant to be like the General Trivia, or trivia type of threads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
