In the episode of "I Love Lucy" titled 'Lucy and Ethel Buy The Same Dress', Lucy and Ethel perform a song together on live television.
Ironically, Lucille Ball had already "sung" (she was dubbed) the SAME EXACT SONG in a screen version of a Cole Porter Broadway Musical.
What song am I thinking of?
GOOD LUCK, Everybody!!!
They sing "Friendship"
HEY, boy from Chi--WAY. TO. GO.!!!
Yep, Lucy sang "Friendship" in a 1953 TV Episode of "I Love Lucy" AS WELL AS performing it in an MGM Movie Musical ten years earlier.
CONGRATULATIONS, Chi and--welcome to the Trivial Pursuit's Winner's Circle!!!
Now for your bonus points:
What is the name of the 1943 film version of a Cole Porter Broadway Musical that Lucy first "sings" "Friendship"?
Was it DuBarry Was a Lady?
It CERTAINLY was DU BARRY WAS A LADY, Chi.
DOUBLE CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You are truly one masterful Trivial Pursuit Player!
And your prize?
Well, you're about to get concked on the head by a brick and fall into a dream!!!
When you wake up, you'll think you're Louis XV in 18th Century France!
You'll be persuing that wrench teasing no-good Madame DuBarry--but DON'T WORRY--you'll soon wake up and find TRUE LOVE with a nightclub singer!

"Friendship":
Judy:
If you're ever in a jam, here I am
Johnny:
If you're ever in a mess, S.O.S.
Judy:
If you ever feel so happy you land in jail, I'm your bail
Both:
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgot
Ours will still be hot
Judy:
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-dig-dig-dig
Johnny:
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell
Judy:
And if you're ever up a tree just phone to me
Johnny:
A-yes-sir-ee
If you ever lose your teeth and you're out to dine, borrow mine
Both:
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgate
Johnny:
Gate?
Both:
Ours will still be great!
Johnny:
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-chuck-chuck-chuck
Judy:
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise
Johnny:
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose
Judy:
And if they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain
Both:
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgit
Ours will still be it
Judy:
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-hep-hep-hep
Johnny:
If you ever lose your mind, I'll be kind
Judy:
And if you ever lose your shirt, I'll be hurt
Johnny:
If you're ever in a mill and get sawed in half, I won't laugh
Both:
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships are up the crick
Ours will still be slick!

i love how you reprinted the entire song. then printed the copyright. jesus.
No need to call him Jesus. He sometimes responds to Mary_Ethel, or Sir. Master, if you're feeling particularly respectful.
Oh, Tiff. PLEASE.
I appreciate the help, but I've been called FAR WORSE around here.
