starliteyes Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Thanks, Miles, that helped a lot. I was much more familiar with the melody of this song than the lyrics. The song is I Know Why (And So Do You), written by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon. It was sung by Lynn Bari (actually Pat Friday), the Modernaires and John Payne in Sun Valley Serenade.

MilesArcher Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 That's correct, Starlit. Here is a clip: That movie was made in 1941. Never one to waste a good song, Twentieth Century Fox used it as background music in a 1942 movie that also starred John Payne. It was called "To The Shores Of Tripoli". You can hear it at about the 6:20 mark of this clip: Nice work, Star. You get the thread next. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BagelOnAPlateOfOnionRolls Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hint: The score of the movie was taken from a stage musical, but this song was not in the original stage production. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 The song is "Mein Herr" from "Cabaret". It was written by John Kander and Fred Ebb and performed by Liza Minnelli. Here she is: Link to post Share on other sites
BagelOnAPlateOfOnionRolls Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Yes! Kander and Ebb's "Mein Herr" was added for Bob Fosse's movie Cabaret, replacing "Don't Tell Mama" from the original stage production. The 1998 Broadway revival included both "Mein Herr" and "Don't Tell Mama." Good work, MilesArcher. It's your turn. Link to post Share on other sites

MilesArcher Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 It's from a Warner Bros. mid-thirties musical. A man sings to a woman. She would have an important part in a movie more than sixty years later. Link to post Share on other sites

And this was a cute little song, completely overshadowed by "The Lullaby of Broadway" in this movie. Link to post Share on other sites

MilesArcher Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The song is "I Wish I Didn't Love You So". It was written by Frank Loesser and sung by Betty Hutton in the 1947 movie "The Perils Of Pauline". I first heard the song on a recording by Vaughn Monroe , who had a hit record with the song in that same year of 1947. The song has since been recorded by many singers, including Dick Haymes and Willie Nelson. Here is Betty Hutton in the movie. Link to post Share on other sites
