The Fedora Lounge Theme Song

[The Captain]

My pick for the Lounge in general would have to be Puttin on the Ritz."

Maybe it's just me, but every time I hear 'Puttin' on the Ritz" I think of "Young Frankenstein!" Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle as a song and dance team just cracked me up!

 

[Bill O'Rights]

Maybe it's just me, but every time I hear 'Puttin' on the Ritz" I think of "Young Frankenstein!" Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle as a song and dance team just cracked me up!

No Captain, it's not just you.

As for me...I think another vote for Begin the Beguine.

 

[McPeppers]

I'm gonna diverge from the rest of yall and propose that our theme should be by Kenny Loggins.

I'm Alright (Theme from Caddyshack)
I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

Do what you like,
Doing it nat'rally
But if it's too easy
They're gonna disagree

It's your life
And isn't it a mystery
If it's nobody's bus'ness
It's everybody's game

Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away

Some Cinderella kid

Get it up and get you a job
(Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

Who do you want?
Who you gonna be today?
And who is it really
Makin' up your mind?

You wanna listen to the man?
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I got you in the mood
Listen to your

Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'

Don't it get you movin'

mmmmm-man

It make me feel good

(Wow, Cinderella kid)

Then give it up and give it the job

(dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
I'm alright
Just let me be

 

[Haversack]

Another vote here for the Artie Shaw version of _Begin the Beguine_. Although I have to say I wavered a bit when Spike Jones' version of _Cocktails For Two_ was nominated.

You'll get nothing and like it, Spaulding!

Thanks for the Memories

Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra both sang this, but Hope made it his own.

Thanks for the memory
Of things I can’t forget
Journeys on a jet
Our wond’rous week in martinique
And vegas and roulette
How lucky I was

And thanks for the memory
Of summers by the sea
Dawn in waikiki
We had a pad in london
But we didn’t stop for tea
How cozy it was

Now since our breakup I wake up
Alone on a gray morning-after
I long for the sound of your laughter
And then I see the laugh’s on me

But thanks for the memory
Of every touch a thrill
I’ve been through the mill
I’ve lived a lot and learned a lot
You loved me not and still
I miss you so much

Thanks for the memory
Of how we used to jog
Even in a fog
That barbecue in malibu
Away from all the smog
How rainy it was

Thanks for the memory
Of letters I destroyed
Books that we enjoyed
Tonight the way things look
I need a book by sigmund freud
How brainy he was

Gone are those evenings on broadway
Together we’d go to a great show
But now I begin with the late show
And wish that you
Were watching, too

I know it’s a fallacy
That grown men never cry
Baby, that’s a lie
We had our bed of roses
But forgot that roses die
And thank you so much

How About..............

Press

 

[Paisley]

Cheers!

Maybe Paul Anka and a swinging band could cover this song:

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Where everybody knows your name, ...

Is Paisley your name?

[airfrogusmc]

(Did I already mention "Call of the Freaks"?)

[Marc Chevalier]

"You Can Leave Your Hat On"

Clever! lol

[Tony in Tarzana]

Maybe it's just me, but every time I hear 'Puttin' on the Ritz" I think of "Young Frankenstein!" Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle as a song and dance team just cracked me up!

Oh yeah, especially when I look at myself in the mirror whilst wearing my top hat. lol

Can't wait 'til I get my white tie and tails. lol lol lol

 

[Paisley]

Is Paisley your name?

.

Next, you'll be telling me that everybody isn't always glad I came.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

We are glad you came, Paisley ... and our troubles are all the same, and we're all the same. :cheers1:

It's a good song. You have my vote for it

I posted this for the FL theme some months ago - Style (by Cahn and Van Heusen)

Some people dress 'cause they dress when they dress,
But he gets dressed to get dressed.
(It's only a hunch but I bet you a bunch)
(He wears suspenders, a belt and a vest,)
[From the tip of his toes to his head,]
[He looks like an unmade bed.]

You've either got or you haven't got style.
(If you got it, you stand out a mile.)
A flower's not a flower if it's wilted,
(A hat's not a hat till it's tilted.)
[You either got or you haven't got class.]
[How it draws the applause of the masses.]


(You either got, or you haven't got,)
[Got or you haven't got,],

You've either got or you haven't got style, (got or you haven't got style).
[If you got it, it stands out a mile,] (if you got it, it stands out a mile.).
With mother of pearl kind of buttons,
(You look like the Astors and Huttons.)
[You either got or you haven't got class,] (got or you haven't got class.)
How it draws the applause of the masses.


(You've either got, or you haven't style) [got or you haven't got style}
(Style and charm seem to go arm in arm,) [seem togo arm in arm.].
[A flower's not a flower] (if it's wilted,)
[A hat's not a hat till it's tilted.]
(You've either got or you haven't got style,) [got or you haven't got style,]
[If you got it, you stands out a mile,] if you got it, you stand out a mile
(Got it you stand out,) got it you stand out a mile.


You've either got or you haven't got, (got or you haven't got,)
[Got or you haven't got,]

Come on, get some clothes on, we're gonna be late for breakfast.

 

[McPeppers]

*sneaks back in*

I agree and give the Robin and the Seven Hoods approval notice:

The first part of the clip and the dialog sort of makes it more apro po.

P.S. I think you missed a few pieces of the song in that quote of the lyrics.

How about Good Enough for Granddad by the Squirrel Nut Zippers


"Good Enough for Granddad"
If it's good enough for Granddad
It's good enough for me.
The way it was that's the way it's got to be.
He told me all about the good times that he had.
Even when the times were sad.
What's good enough for granddad.
He's been to all kinds of places
Been to every old foreign land
Ain't a man alive shuck and jive
Better than Granddad can!
All the good times that he had.
If they were good enough for Granddad,
They're good enough for me.
