Movie Song of the Week: “Yes, Yes, My Baby Said Yes, Yes”

The month is almost over. Winter has reminded us yet again that it's still around. And people are already dissing the new President before his first month is up.

Sounds like we need some good old-fashioned escapism from 1931's Palmy Days, brought to you by singer/actor Eddie Cantor and choreographer Busby Berkeley. And let's not forget those hard-working Goldwyn Girls. I don't know how they manage to do all that they do in this number and still keep smiling but if they could bottle it...

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the song.

Movie Song of the Week: “Bend Down, Sister”

From 1931's Palmy Days, it's yet another shameless and politically incorrect musical number from the 1930s, this time featuring gym instructor Charlotte Greenwood and the Goldwyn Girls. Plus you get the choreography of a pre-42nd Street Busby Berkeley and a guest appearance by a very very young Betty Grable (she played the girl with the wink).

I have tried to find a more condensed version but alas, none were available for posting. For that matter, I have tried to resist posting this -- but between all the holiday desserts that have been available and all the New Year's Resolutions that are being made as I write this, it is kinda hard for me to convince myself that this is an inappropriate song to post this week. At least that's the explanation that I intend to stick with.

I hope you all enjoy it.
