He sings a Cole Porter song that you would never expect Cole Porter to write.
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.

He does have unbelievable calf muscles. And that song... no words.

It's a great Cole Porter song, written for Jimmy Durante in Red, Hot and Blue, the show he starred in with Ethel Merman.
Fitzgerald doesn't trust the material and overplays it--badly. It's only funny when it's deadpanned.
Cabaret singer Jeff Harnar performs it in a Jimmy Durante imitation.

Yeah, I can see it working better if it were played truthfully instead of hammering on the jokes. It is still an odd song.
