THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

COLE PORTER

JUBILEE

Tonight is dedicated to another of Cole’s signature tunes. As Cole and Moss Hart were collating the songs for their musical, Moss realized that they lacked a song for the second act. Cole knocked this one out in the course of an evening.

DORIS DAY: “JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS”

Doris sang this classic in two Hollywood musicals: “Lullaby of Broadway” in 1951, and “Young at Heart” in 1954. This is a 1951 clip. You can see how Doris started out as a dancer before turning to song. This version is cute, perky – and completely misses the point.

“Completely misses the point”

That happens quite a bit.

Kind of like doing “Stairway to Heaven” as a Cha Cha.
