Name That Tune

[dhermann1]

Well, OK, but just one and I'll make it easy.

"Some like that perfume from Spain,
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
that would bore me terrifically too.
Yet......"

The singer is one of my all-time favorites. The song ain't bad either.

"I get a kick, tho it's clear to see, you obviously don't adore me . . ."

 

[olive bleu]

ahhhh..beat me to it

 

[LizzieMaine]

Of course, the original lyric was quite a bit naughtier:

"Some get a kick from cocaine..."

It's rather startling to hear the likes of Rudy Vallee crooning those words.

 

[Prairie Dog]

This tune should be more of a challenge to identify.

So, Daddy, let me stay out late
For tomorrow is our wedding date
Let the Baby kinda celebrate
"____________________"

Daddy, let me wear the mink
What's the difference what the neighbours think
Let the Baby linger on the brink
"____________________"

And while I'm kissing them sentiment'ly
Keep the liberal point of view
Because I'm breaking it to them gently
That my heart belongs to you

So, Daddy, please remember this
That tomorrow starts a life of bliss
Let me show them what they're gonna miss
"____________________"

[carter]

Looks correct. Lizzie, what's next?

I'm trying to stay afloat while on vacation. Doing genealogy work in VA.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Sleepless night here, so I've been listening to music while waiting for the sandman to finally show up, and just heard Alice Faye sing the following:

"For a boy who's so adorable,
Your conduct is deplorable!
Your manners in the moonlight
Are all wrong!"

From a 1935 Fox film -- name that tune!

 

[TailendCharlie]

"According to the Moonlight"

 

[LizzieMaine]

Correct! From the film "George White's Scandals of 1935."

Your turn!

 

[TailendCharlie]

Long after stars close their sleepy eyes,
and the glow from a full moon dies,
My heart will still be full of love

 

[carter]

"According to the Moonlight"

Correct! From the film "George White's Scandals of 1935."

Aargh, I knew the film but not the name of the tune.

Vacationing without music is extremely aggravating but only in this context.
