Trivial Pursuit #5

Hello Folks,

Today we're going to have a "matching" question:

The Off-Broadway Musical DAMES AT SEA was a gentle "send-up" of the Broadway/Hollywood Musicals of the late 1920s/early 1930s.

EACH song in DAMES AT SEA was a parody of a popular song from that era.

Please tell us which song in DAAMES AT SEA was a parody of what popular song:

DAMES AT SEA Songs:

1) "Wall Street"

2) "It's You"

3) "That Mister Man of Mine"

4) "Choo-Choo Honeymoon"

5) "Singapore Sue"


ORIGIGNAL Songs:

a) "You're The Top"

b) "Shuffle Off to Buffalo"

c) "42nd Street"

d) "Bill"

e) "Shanghai Lil"


GOOD LUCK, everybody! :)

NO MORE CALLS, We have a Winner!

GREAT Job, Magruder!!! :)

Now for your bonus points: Who played Ruby in the original production of DAMES AT SEA?

---

Magruder,

You are the KING of Trivial Pursuit.

I stand in AWE of your knowledge! :)

---

Brava magruder! You are really something else!
Glad you weren't around early yesterday to take the prize for my easy question. :) I am honored to be a fellow winner. :)

PS: Keep up the good/fun work Mary_Ethel.

A date with Robbie Williams?

But M_E, that's not really a prize. Magruder has always commanded the respect and admiration from the board. In fact I'm kicking back and listening to CARMELINA today. It was a recommendation he made eons ago. "All That He Wants of Me" is my new signature song.

If I were Magruder I'd hold out for some Halloween candy, like those little boxes of Junior Mints.

---

Magruder, whom I respect very much, can be stumped though.



It's hard, but it can, and it has happened.

Wait, I take that back. Grace Keagy has a pretty bad number in Carmelina. The rest though? Lovely.

Granted "Yankee Doodles..." may not be a strong song, but at least it was original and advanced the plot. Which really is more than can be said for a current B'way show that "borrowed" heavily from the plot and had no original music.

And how much a man of his time was Lerner with "I'm A Woman?"
