Lullaby of Broadway

More years than I care to remember I lived in a tumbledown house in Kennington (inner south London for those unacquainted...) There were six bedrooms over four floors and an indeterminate collection of permanent and temporary residents. We once had a complete rock band fom Hull resident on the living room floor but that's another story. Anyway, we inevitably had a huge pool of rock albums, one or two classical albums that sneaked in one way and the other and a black vinyl version of Lullaby of Broadway from Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers of 1935. I haven't a clue where it came from but when people came back over refreshed on the turntable it would go! Quality!

A random factoid I was told by a Crystal Palace supporter yesterday: Neil Warnock (the Crystal Palace manager for the footballingly challenged) is an anagram of Colin Wanker. I have double checked this. It's true. Erm... Colin Wanker

My gran took me to see the Doris Day film of the same title. My first time in the cinema. Brilliant.

Weren't the gold diggers also associated with Dean Martin?

Hey, guess what book arrived today from Amazon.com and is in my backpack? ;) I can't decide if I should give it to hubby for his b-day next week (meaning I won't get to read it till he's done), or just delve into it when I finish "The Lost Symbol".

KAZ - Most people seem to remember the first film they saw. In my case it was 'The Student Prince'. I must have been 3 at the time.

JoJo - Mr Google says yes re Dean Martin. Didn't know that! Wow! as regards book. I await your comments with trepidation.

Mr Thoughts - we do our humble best...

Little Flower - see above ;)

Tony - I think we have new rhyming slang here. As in 'He's a bit of a Colin' - like 'He's a bit of a merchant'

Yea, that's what I thought... I was just wondering why he was a wanker I guess, since I don't really know of him. Silly me.
