All I know is that it brings back the sound of music so tender.

Lynn Whitfield sang this song in 'The Josephine Baker Story'.
I would guess the real Josephine sang it too.

"She refused to begin the beguine
When they besought her to...
And in language profane and obscene
She cursed the man who taught her to...
She cursed Cole Porter, too!"

--- "Senorita Nina from Argentina" by Noel Coward

I LOVE Senorita Nina!

She refused to begin the Beguine
When they requested it,
And she made an embarrassing scene
If anyone suggested it.

For she detested it.

You know, I heard there's an orchestra playing by the shore. Maybe we can go listen for a BWW function...It's right near the swaying palms...

(P.S. After 16 performances of RED, HOT AND COLE down, with another 10 to go, I'm really sick of singing this song.)

And don't forget Johnny Mathis's disco version of Begin the Beguine:
