Drum Boogie

[Feraud]

Loved it!

I love that movie! It's the only pirated DVD in my collection (I received it as a gift). There are several versions of it on iTunes as well. Catchy little tune, that one! One that I really never mind having stuck in my head...but there are others...

Here's something really special: Drum Boogie and
Barbara Stanwyck!!


Barbara was certainly capable of doing her own singing, but she was dubbed by Martha Tilton in Ball of Fire. She DID do her own singing two years later, when she played another stripper in Lady of Burlesque. That was adapted from the backstage murder mystery by Gypsy Rose Lee.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

It's been in my head all day again today! The second day in a row!

I have been listening to the Boswells all day but still Kruppa's tune is in my head. I was swing dancing to it in the kitchen earlier!

lol

Watch the movie, it's got a too-cool scene where everyone's crowded around Gene Krupa scraping out Drum Bookgie with matchheads on the flint side of the matchbox, without striking a fire until the end, neat trick...

The WHOLE movie's a riot. Sort of a grown-up Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and some great 40's slang.

And as luck would have it, following That Touch of Mink (just starting at this very moment), TCM will be running Ball of Fire from whence came the photo above and the song that is the topic of this thread. That'll be 8:15 Pacific, 11:15 Eastern and, I believe, 9:15 Mountain and 10:15 Central.
