This is probably my favorite scene in the whole movie. Weeeeell, maybe not. I have a lot of favorites. The whole movie is so good! But this definitely ranks up there quite high!
The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing The best things happen while you're dancing Things you would not do at home Come naturally on the floor For dancing soon becomes romancing When you hold a girl in your arms That you've never held before Even guys with two left feet Come out alright if the girl is sweet If by chance their cheeks should meet while dancing Proving that the best things happen while you dance
Something I am noticing about the lyrics to the songs from White Christmas is that the lyrics are really short! I am surprised each time I look up the lyrics to see how short it is! The songs are so long, yet I had never really paid attention to the fact that they just repeat a lot. Hmmm, maybe they are onto something with not needing to have elaborate lyrics to make a song beautiful.
Blue Skies by Irving Berlin I was blue, just as blue as I could be Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me Then good luck came a-knocking at my door Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
[Refrain:] Blue skies smiling at me Nothing but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song Nothing but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone Nothing but blue skies from now on
[2nd verse:] I should care if the wind blows east or west I should fret if the worst looks like the best I should mind if they say it can't be true I should smile, that's exactly what I do
I sure have fallen off the bandwagon over here! Yikes! I was determined to get this done within a year, but I'm not sure if that will happen now. We'll see, I suppose. I might have to stretch it out a bit longer.
Heat Wave by Irving Berlin We're having a heat wave, A tropical heat wave, The temperature's rising, It isn't surprising, She certainly can can-can.
She started a heat wave By letting her seat wave In such a way that The customers say that She certainly can can-can.
Gee, her anatomy Makes the mercury Jump to ninety-three.
We're having a heat wave, A tropical heat wave, The way that she moves That thermometer proves That she certainly can can-can
This video doesn't have the words included, but I didn't feel like looking for one that did. At least you can hear the tune this way.
This is a Christmas classic, so it had to be shared. Plus, I love that movie. It's my favorite Christmas movie.
White Christmas by Irving Berlin, sung by Bing Crosby I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten, and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white
I love the movie White Christmas. And this is definitely one of my favorite songs from that film. I was using a line from it today in a blog entry and decided since it is now running through my head, to post it over here, as well. So here you are...
Sisters, Sisters by Irving Berlin Sisters, sisters There were never such devoted sisters, Never had to have a chaperone, no sir, I'm there to keep my eye on her Caring, sharing Every little thing that we are wearing When a certain gentleman arrived from rome She wore the dress, and I stayed home All kinds of weather, we stick together The same in the rain and sun Two different faces, but in tight places We think and we act as one Those who've seen us Know that not a thing could come between us Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister And lord help the sister, who comes between me and my man
