I have the most fantastic Eddie Cantor CD (he recorded the songs in a studio in the 1950's)and this song is one of the highlights. That man could sell a song, couldn't he?
Right before he sings each song (on the CD), he gives a memory of it being first introduced in whatever show he was in...this one he talked about Flo Ziegfield standing in the back of the theater and watching him sing it in reheasal and loving it.
I HIGHLY recommend the CD...however, it's at home right now and I can't remember the title. Time for a little afternoon google.

The first CD on the site... where he reminisces with the Studio Audience about his career in Show Business?

I think this is the CD...but there's no cover art to compare my CD to. The track listing sounds identical though. There is no audience on the CD I have. It's just him and the sound is crystal clear, too.

Anybody ever see the film version? (1930)
Cantor is in it, of course, and Betty Grable and Ann Sothern are in the chorus.
Busby Berkeley did the choreography (I believe it was his first movie.)
Its a prime example of an early talkie-musical.
I HIGHLY recommend it:

Unfortunately, it is NOT available on DVD...

of course I have seen it...you would also enjoy Roman Scandals...lots of S&M references in that movie...very amusingfor that timeframe!

Didn't Lucille Ball make her film debut in ROMAN SCANDALS as a Goldwyn [Chorus] Girl?

Indeed! you barely see her...though in those movies they would place a dance number in the movie specifically designed to have each girls face "pass by" so she got her "face time". You see it a lot in Busby Berkeley numbers as well.

Ricky Lee Jones and Doctor John do a nice version of this song.

...But who can tell us on the soundtrack of what Woody Allen film this song is performed?
