Movie Song of the Week: "Happy Feet"

From the 1930 movie King of Jazz, it's Bing Crosby, the mysterious Sisters "G" (aka Eleanor and Karla Gutchrlein), Al "Rubber Legs" Norman and the Paul Whiteman Orchestra appearing in a musical number that even animated penguins would not dare to try to pull off. At least not in this fashion.

Movie Song of the Week: “I Can't Tell a Lie”

Just in time for the day that used to be celebrated here in the U.S. as George Washington's Birthday -- but not, alas, for Presidents' Day -- it's one of the lesser known musical numbers from the 1942 musical Holiday Inn. Any inclination to feel sorry for Bing Crosby's character should wait until after the end of the number.

Movie Song of the Week: “White Christmas”

I should post this song tomorrow but for obvious reasons, tomorrow promises to be a busy day and I'll be spending most of it away from the computer.

So, from 1942's Holiday Inn, a song that really needs no introduction.
