Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

     Johnnie One Note

     Where Or When.

Is "Babes In Arms" the movie?
It's the WINDMILLS

          THIMK

Marilyne

June - Right answer for #14: Blue Moon

Rammel = Both answers are correct: #2 - Where or When, and #9 - Johnnie One Note

Rick - "Babes in Arms", was a Broadway musical first.  It was made into a movie years later, starring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.  They left some of the original songs out of the movie.

Marilyne

Chia -  Correct answer to #10 - Blue Room

I received another email from Kelly, with answers to the last two songs: Both of these are still being sung and recorded by many vocalists.

#8: There's a Small Hotel, with a wishing well, I wish that we were there, together.

#5: Lover, when I'm near you, and I hear you speak my name - softly in my ear you breathe a flame. 

Marilyne

Thank you all for playing!  I highly recommend the movie, Words and Music.  The story of Rogers and Hart, is probably not accurate, but the music sequences are beautiful and fun to watch.  Mickey Rooney plays Larry Hart, and Tom Drake, is Richard Rogers.  June Allyson, singing "Thou Swell", is a real treat, as is Lena Horne, singing "Lover", and Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, dancing to "Slaughter on 10th Avenue".  Perry Como, has a big part, playing a friend of R and H.  He sings "Blue Room", and many other songs.  He sure was a handsome man, when he was young! 8). Next time it plays on TCM, I'll let you all know.

1: A wondrous toy - Manhattan - Kelly

2. Seem to be happening again - Where or When - Rick

3. The flying plates - I Wish I Were in Love Again - Chia

4. it's because nobody loves me? - Spring is Here - Chia

5. You breathe a flame - Lover - Kelly

6. My heart does not stand still - This Can’t be Love - Radioman

7. Barons and Earls - The Lady is a Tramp - Radioman

8: I wish that we were there - A Small Hotel - Kelly

9. sang out with gusto - Johnny One-Note  - Rick

10: Where every day's a holiday - Blue Room - Chia

11: Two rooms and kitchen - Thou Swell - Kelly

12: two crazy people together - Mountain Greenery - Chia

13. Heaven opens it's portals - With a Song in My Heart - Chia

14. Please adore me - Blue Moon - Junee
