Princess of Tap Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 See if you can identify a famous movie song with 6 words are less from the lyrics. When you identify the song, please, also identify The Lyricist and The Composer, along with the name of the movie it comes from. To identify the artist who performs the number is optional, but certainly even more fun. Next: " wider than a mile " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess of Tap Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Judy sang this song in a medley at the Palladium with Liza: " (I like New York in June) How About You?"-- Judy and Mickey sang this in Babes on Broadway.

starliteyes Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I believe that lyric is from Anything Goes from the movie and show of the same name. I'm guessing that particular lyric was sung by Ethel Merman in the 1936 movie adaptation of the show, rather than in the 1956 Anything Goes movie, which had a completely different story and bore no relation to the original show. Also, by that time that lyric would no longer have been topical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 "There's somethin' amiss and I'll eat my hat if this isn't love". "If This Isn't Love" was a song from "Finian's Rainbow". It was first on Broadway in 1947 with lyrics by E.Y. Harburg and music by Burton Lane. The movie was made in 1968. It was Fred Astaire's last musical except for the "That's Entertainment" documentaries. The song was sung by Don Francks, Petula Clark, and Fred Astaire. I couldn't find a video clip, but I did find this audio clip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 I always loved those Yip Harburg lyrics in this song, like: "I'll eat my hat if this isn't love". Yip also wrote that other great rainbow show tune, Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Yip may not have written as much as a lot of others but what he wrote, we couldn't live without!
