Let us not forget that this song was in Promises, Promises before it was in Camp.

Yes, please. I *hate* how whenever this song is mentioned everyone seems to think it originated from the movie Camp.
It's actually from the Burt Bacharach-Hal David-Neil Simon classic PROMISES, PROMISES.

Oh yes I know it's not originally from CAMP, but every time I hear it all I can think about is CAMP. It's so ridiculous but I always makes me smile too!

I adore Promises, Promises. Besides Hard Candy Christmas, this is my favorite holiday Broadway song. And the rest of the score ain't too shabby either.

I think some of you are being snobby. I wouldn't sell these posters short. Most know very well it's not FROM "Camp." It tells you it's from "Promises, Promises" right before the number in the film. So, it's a bit of a questionable comment here.
I love the way the number is performed in CAMP. Since I can't go put on my "Promises, Promises" movie DVD (since there isn't one)... I will watch the fantastic production number featured in the movie CAMP... (knowing full-well it's from "Promises, Promises.")
I would rather say (again) Happy Thanksgiving to all... instead of "I know more than you do."
But... to each his or her own.

It is amazing that after this Bachrach/David never tried their hand @ another show

The next time Bacharach & David attempted a musical, it was for the big screen... "Lost Horizon." This is one of my favorite BAD movies. It's absolutely terrible (in so many wonderful ways), and bombed at the box office in 1973.
Apparently they had a huge rift working on this film... and it ended their collaboration, as well as the era of their kind of music-making.
Such a shame.

Wait, wait. I'm confused.
So that "Ladies Who Lunch" song wasn't just written for Camp, either?

HAHA Calvin, of course it was! How would that song fit into a real show?

Of course they couldn't.
Man, they wrote some great songs for that movie.
That song the girl sang about being in show business a really long time and still perservering? The song the kids on the bus sang losing their minds from obsession with love? They were really cool.
Whoever did that score should really write a Broadway show or something.

I didn't think those songs were so great. I mean, compare them to Seasons of Love or For Good. Please. You can't!

Way, way back when I was doing community theater, I had a circle of friends who were involved in the various groups here on Long Island.
One New Year's Eve I hosted a party for these friends. That particular year I had just finished a production of FIDDLER, in which I played Mendel, the rabbi's son. All of my friends had just finished their shows, too, and almost everyone had played a speaking role--except a gal named Linda. She had just done a production of PROMISES, PROMISES and her only moment to shine was a short dance solo in "Turkey Lurkey Time".
While all of us were sharing anecdotes about our various roles, all Linda could talk about was "Turkey Lurkey Time". In fact, her Christmas card that year was a picture of her dancing on a table in the number (she had very heavy thighs!). We got so tired of hearing her talk about "Turkey Lurkey" this and "Turkey Lurkey" that, that we forbade her to mention it for the rest of the night.
It didn't stop her.
To this day, I can't hear the song without thinking of Linda and her heavy thighs.
