Trivial Pursuit #125

Posted: 5/6/05 at 11:29am

What George and Ira Gershwin song was dropped from MY ONE AND ONLY when the show was in out-of-town tryouts but was STILL recorded by Tommy Tune and Twiggy on that show's OCR?

GOOD LUCK, Everybody!!!

never a particular fan of this show, but i'd guess "Little Jazz Bird" (sometimes listed as "LIL Jazz Bird"....)

TxTwoStep! YES!!!

You HAVE It!

Although "Little Jazz Bird" was dropped during the chaotic Pre-Broadway tryout of MY ONE AND ONLY, Tune and Twiggy regretted its passing so much that they recorded it for the original cast Album anyway!

NICE JOB, Tx!

Now for your bonus points:

On the OCR of MY ONE AND ONLY, after they sing "Little Jazz Bird"--Tommy Tune and Twiggy laughingly state the song might see the day of light in ANOTHER show.

What show are they referring to?

So his bonus points Question is up for grabs by the Entire Board:

i'll take my dear ETHEL's usual prerogative...having not heard the album...i'll throw the bonus question to the floor for the public to try.

But i'll guess something like THE JAZZ SINGER or the revision of GIRL CRAZY....before that became CRAZY FOR YOU...or maybe the black version of OH KAY...

SORRY, Tx...

The bonus points are still up for grabs...

i hope BOOBS knows the bonus, it's driving me crazy. And i don't want to get the album to listen to it. Like Astaire, i enjoy seeing Tune perform live, but i don't care for the recordings so much. And Twiggy is not exactly a songstress.

Tx! You Figured it Out!!!

I'm SO Proud of You!

YES, after Tommy Tune and Twiggy laughingly sing "Little Jazz Bird"--they jokingly state it might see the light of day in MY ONE AND ONLY II--which of course, never came to pass...

And your prize, Tx?

You--are NOW a 1920s World Class Aviator--YES, just like Tommy Tune in that show you hate!

You will fly the Atlantic SOLO--just to meet your dream girl, an Olympic Swimming Star! But HEY, it'll all work out OK in the end--after YOU-STRIKE UP THE BAND!

Have a good one on me, Folks!

just to clarify, i don't "hate" MY ONE AND ONLY...i'm just not a particular fan. i'd see any Tune show, as i think he has genius at staging. i prefer the ones he just directs as opposed to directs and stars in, but there's always something interesting in all of them.

Can i fly to Australia and chose the swimming champion from their Olympic team?

"Little Jazz Bird":

Into a cabaret
One fatal day
A little songbird flew

Found it so very gay
Hhe thought he'd stay
Just to get a birds-eye view

When he heard the jazz band playing
He was happy as a lark

To each measure he kept swaying
And he stayed till after dark

Then back to the land he knew
Thrilled through and through
He sailed on in the air
Called all the other birds

and

in these words started singing then and there:

I'm a little jazz bird
And I'm telling you to be one, too
For a little jazz bird is in heaven when it's singing 'blue'

I say it with regret
But you're out of date
You ain't heard nothin' yet
Till you syncopate

When the going is rough
You will find your troubles all have flown
If you warble your stuff
Like the moaning of a saxaphone

Just try my recipe
And I'm sure you'll agree
That a little jazz bird
Is the only kind of bird for me

Music: George Gershwin
Lyrics: Ira Gershwin

if BOOBS goes with me, maybe we can pull swimming champions of both genders and indeterminate sexuality. What fun!

Hey, Tx:--

1) SORRY if I misquoted you.

2) HECK, you can fly to Australia, New Zeland, MIAMI, ANYPLACE you want to pick up bathing beauties.

**whisphers**Just send the bill to Rob.

ETHEL, BOOBS, and TEX on a holiday...it would be like HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE meets WHERE THE BOYS ARE....and Rob could film it for the first BWW reality TV series. He'd make millions! for a relatively small investment!

***clears throat***

I don't DO "reality", Tx.

I like to keep my private affairs PRIVATE--THANK YOU very much...

maybe we can broker an "off-camera" clause for each of us...i'm an exhibitionist, so i can provide the "BOYS/GIRLS GONE WILD" footage for all three of us. i feel like BOOBS might be up for that as well!

ETHEL would be the "brain", BOOBS the "looks", and i'd be the comic relief...
