Movie Music

[mudskipper]

Never could dance, even in my teens. You know that song "I've Got Rhythm"?... Well, I never got it.

 

Here's one up your alley, Miles...from an old movie:

 

" She taught me one thing,

Love is only what you make it;

And I know one thing,

She can dish it out and I can take it.

We both want a family,

I want twins, so does she..."

(next comes the title of the song).

 

Song title? Singer? Movie?...The scene and song are on You Tube.

[mudskipper]

Clue: The song is from a movie that has the "Great Spanish Bullfighter, Sebastian II"...

"What a Perfect Combination" - Eddie Cantor in THE KID FROM SPAIN (1932). Great song in a great favorite movie with one of my favorite stars!

 

And don't forget, Eddie is on TCM tonight in ALI BABA GOES TO TOWN.

Okay...

Anyone recognize this little film song?

 

"We didn't come to borrow any money.

We didn't come to borrow any dough.

We didn't come to borrow any trouble.

We just dropped in to say hello."

[mudskipper]

Sounds like The Three Stooges. (hello...hellO...heLLO.....HEllo !)...."Gents Without Cents" ?.

>Sounds like The Three Stooges. (hello...hellO...heLLO.....HEllo !)...."Gents Without Cents" ?.

 

Correct you are! That's a 1944 Three Stooges Columbia short.

 

Open for someone else to post...

Here's a toughie-- in *SABRINA*, what song is playing while Sabrina waits in the tennis court for David, as Linus (Bogie) walks in with champagne, just before "Isn't it Romantic" comes on? Hint: it's from an old classic musical, but not from Paramount.

[mudskipper]

"Lover" by Rodgers and Hart from MGM's "Words And Music" ?

[LonesomePolecat]

Not quite. This was a song from a classic WB screen musical...

[mudskipper]

Must be "Shadow Waltz" then, sung by Dick Powell from the WB musical "Gold Diggers Of 1933"...

[LonesomePolecat]

Yes! your thread, muddy!

[mudskipper]

You can have the thread, Six...or thread open.

[mudskipper]

Here's a very nice and inspiring song from an underated movie:

 

" In the morning of my life I shall look to the sunrise.

At a moment in my life when the world is new.

And the blessing I shall ask is that God will grant me,

To be brave and strong and true,

And to fill the world with love my whole life through.

 

(Chorus)

And to fill the world with love

And to fill the world with love

And to fill the world with love my whole life through

 

In the noontime of my life I shall look to the sunshine,

At a moment in my life when the sky is blue.

And the blessing I shall ask shall remain unchanging.

To be brave and strong and true,

And to fill the world with love my whole life through

 

(Chorus)

 

In the evening of my life I shall look to the sunset,

At a moment in my life when the night is due.

And the question I shall ask only I can answer.

Was I brave and strong and true?

Did I fill the world with love my whole life through? "...

 

 

Song? Movie? Singer?...

[mudskipper]

Clue: The movie is sort of a musical remake of a classic 1939 film based on a classic book...

[mudskipper]

Clue: The female lead is better known as a pop singer than an actress...

[mudskipper]

Yep...I just love that song , the last stanza in particular...

 

Here's a clip:
