Long Live Fashion!

If you're blue and you don't know
where to go to why don't you go
where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types who wear a day
coat pants with stripes and cutaway
coat perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers
walk with sticks or um-ber-ellas
in their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats, and arrow collars
White spats, and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time

If you're blue and you don't know

Damn. Haven't heard that song since I was but a tiny kiddie.

Bet the fat kid had to sit out that part to catch his breath thinking, "thank heavens for intermission time!"

I loved Taco.

You should love tacos, considering where you live.

Funny story from the mid-80s...

My first year in college, the Future Business Leaders of America held its regional meeting at my university. I had a job working at the Fine Arts Center as a stage hand.

No, that's not the funny part. That particular convention also had a talent show...high schoolers dancing, singing, playing guitar, the usual boring crap. However, this one girl who looked like an obvious stoner did a tapdancing number to that song. She had a killer figure, huge boobs, and was wearing a tight, glittery one-piece, tapshoes and a tophat. She even had a cane to go along with it.

Once she started, she obviously had the attention of every penis in that center, including me. The second obvious observation was that she probably had not done the number in that costume before...not 20 seconds into the song, everyone starts giggling because the girl is having problems keeping the strapless one piece up over her tits. As the song went on, her struggle started interrupting her routine, and...swear to God...you could see a light go on in her eyes as she realized she wasn't going to place with the judges.

At the end of the song, this 16-17 year old chesty blonde said to hell with it and let her top fly down in front of about 3000 screaming teenagers and shocked teachers. The stage manager was right behind me, and I was in the wings operating the curtains. He told me to pull the curtains. I told him "like hell I will!"

She ran right by us on her way out, and I was later told she was immediately escorted off campus by one of her teachers for that little stunt.

Every time I hear that song, I think of her. ;)

You and ISHCABITTER need to get together what with you both spending your days inventing new tales.
 
Sure he does. Rumor has it he's a regular contributing writer to the Playgirl fantasy forums.
 
It was Irving Berlin's before it was Mel Brook's or Taco's.

I like today's alternative:

"Lighten up it's just fashion,
lighten up it's just fashion,
lighten up it's just fashion,
lighten up it's just fashion,
lighten up it's just fashion,
lighten up it's just fashion,
lighten up it's just fashion,
lighten up it's just fashion,
lighten up it's just fashion!"
