What a dame!

GREG FREEMAN

Loved this ever since hearing a very brief excerpt of it playing the background in a scene in Big Top Pee Wee. Betty Hutton was a real doll

Coco Parker-Wilt

Anyone else only know about this song because of "Big Top Pee-Wee?" It's what Pee-Wee and his animals are playing in the cellar while the storm is raging outside. Since I was really young, I've never forgotten this song and the sound of this lady's voice.

I want to know how the three philistines are who don't appreciate this. They're probably too busy basking in the stupidity of "Hoarders" and "The Jersey Shore," I imagine.

I love Betty Hutton and as for Arthur Murray he had tons of dance studios I'm sure he really didn't care who made fun of him or talked about him, he was rich because of it.

I get to sing this song for a theater masterclass, and i have never been so excited.

@hebneh - here are some funny factoids about Arthur Murray's reputation in another song and on a sitcom: - In 1946, Desi Arnaz starred in the film Cuban Pete, and recorded a song of the same name, featuring the lyric, "Cuban Pete doesn't teach you in a hurry like Arthur Murray/You're now in Havana, and there's always mañana". - In an episode of Sanford & Son, when asked to dance, Fred says "I've been told I can't dance." The young lady says, "Arthritis?", Fred responds, "No, Arthur Murray."

I'm surprised that the lyrics of this song are actually somewhat derogatory in describing the Arthur Murray dance studio chain. She's saying that she really didn't end up being able to dance, and while that's partly her fault due to her own lack of talent, the lessons were "in a hurry" and not satisfactory. I can only assume that Arthur Murray himself thought that any publicity, even if it wasn't completely positive, was better than none. Especially if this was free.

Hilarious! Some of her facial expressions remind me of Lou Costello.

There is a radio promo for this movie that I have on vinyl that has an unedited version of this performance that is amazing.
