Yes, I rode the trolley - and man did I clang and ding - I have a reputation to live up to, you know!!!

I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

plus, it was your birthday! One should always clang and ding on their birthday!

Seven Brides... kind of like the BWW family tree!

I have to say that just about EVERY song from Gigi is wonderful. Particularly:

The night they invented champagne
It's plain as it can be
They thought of you and me
The night they invented champagne
They absolutely knew
That all we'd want to do
Is fly to the sky on champagne
And shout to everyone in sight
That since the world began
No woman or a man
Has ever been so happy as we are to-night!

...so I have to put it at the top of my list!

not all the boys would agree, but:

Each time I see a little girl
Of five or six or seven,
I can't resist a joyous urge
To smile and say,
Thank heaven-
For little girls
For little girls get bigger everyday
Thank heaven for little girls,
They grow up in the most delightful way.
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing,
One day will flash and send you crashing
Through the ceiling.
Thank heaven for little girls,
Thank heaven for them all,
No matter where, no matter who,
Without them, what would little boys do?
Thank heaven
Thank heaven
Thank heaven for little girls.

Those little eyes so helpless and appealing,
One day will flash and send you crashing
Through the ceiling.
Thank heaven for little girls,
Thank heaven for them all,
No matter where, no matter who,
Without them, what would little boys do?
Thank heaven
Thank heaven
Thank heaven for little girls.

Say a prayer for me tonight
I'll need every prayer
That you can spare to get me by.
Say a prayer and while you're praying
Keep on saying
She's much too young to die
Unto your Waterloo whispers "My heart"
Pray I'll be Wellington, not Bonaparte
Oh, say a prayer for me this evening
Bow your head and please
Stay on your knees
Tonight.

There's sweeter music when she sings, isn't there?
A different bloom about her cheeks, isn't there?
Could I be wrong, could it be so?
Oh where oh where did Gigi go?
Gigi, am I a fool without a mind?
Or have I merely been too blind?
To realize.
Oh, Gigi!
Why, you've been growing up before my eyes
Gigi!
You're not at all that funny
Awkward little girl I knew
Oh no!
Overnight, there's been a breathless change
In you.
Oh, Gigi!
While you were trembling on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere
Blinking at a star?
Oh, Gigi!
Have I been standing up too close?
Or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire?
And your warmth become desire?
Oh what miracle has made you the way you are?

...I just think that song is beautiful!

(Cookie...could you BE any sweeter?)

My favorite will always be Singin' in the Rain, but In Gay Madrid gets two snaps up for the title alone!

It's the same old world wherever you go,
Whatever place you are at.
The Earth is round but ev'rything on it is flat!

A necklace is love.
A ring is love.
A rock from some obnoxious little king is love.
A sapphire with a star is love.
An ugly black cigar is love.
Everything you are is love.
You would think it would embarrass
All the people here in Paris
To be thinking every minute of love.
I don't understand the Parisians
Making love every time they get the chance,
I don't understand the Parisians
Wasting every lovely night on romance.
Any time and under every tree in town,
They're in session two by two,
What a crime with all there is to see in town,
They can't find something else to do.
I don't understand how Parisians
Never tire of walking hand in hand,
They seem to love it,
And speak highly of it.
I don't understand the Parisians!

('cept, I do!)

SINGING IN THE RAIN and WIZARD OF OZ are my top picks. After that, anything with Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly.

Glad to see so many on this board like M-G-M.

...and Cookie, that sure was a "SWELL" picture. :)

Addy, of couse YOU understand the Parisians. (It's the rest of us who don't!) But boy what lovely scenery that city makes for musicals -- Gigi, An American In Paris, Lili (kinda Paris outskirts), Funny Face....

Oui!
