I love this song! Sometime ago I noticed that it was used in many movies; I'm embedding four versions (well, three because Youtube disabled the embedding option of the one from Singin' in the rain). Which one is your favorite??
1934 - Gene Raymond | Sadie McKee
1935 - Chico Marx | A night at the opera
1953 - Debbie Reynolds & Bobby Van | The Affairs of Dobie Gillis

I think it is a tie between SADIE MCKEE and Gene Raymond’s version (he made Joan Crawford weep and that is good enough for me), and A NIGHT AT THE OPERA and Chico Marx’s version. Chico is a sentimental favorite, but I never knew that Gene Raymond was quite the crooner. Thank you for sharing this very creative comparison.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought the Sadie McKee version was so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI love this song in every version. In SINGIN IN THE RAIN are two versions which first made me curios: The same song can sound so different!
ReplyDeleteI like the Chico Marx version very much, because everytime Chico and Harpo a doing music they have this expression in their faces which really touches me - like every one doing things he/she loves. That makes me very happy - in a calm and thankful way.
Oh - and btw: I like you blog VERY much.
Have a merry christmas!
yo adoro la versión de Connee Boswell :)
