Butterfly Weed Is Not Butterfly Bush. Don't confuse butterfly bush with shrubs commonly called butterfly weed or milkweed (Asclepias spp.), native plants that attract butterflies and other insects with showy flower clusters.ll parts of the butterfly weed are toxic -- flowers, leaves, stems and roots. Both humans and animals will suffer if they eat it. If you or your kids eat some, you may experience diarrhea or vomiting; if you touch the sap, the skin can burn or itch.
Make 'Em Laugh was written for the 1952 musical by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, but any similarity with the Cole Porter track Be A Clown is not coincidental. Although Arthur Freed (1894-1973) was a lyricist, he was best known as a producer, and produced many, many musicals in the 1940s and 1950s.
Miller got the line at the end, I really love your peaches want to shake your tree, lovey dovey, lovey dovey... from Lovey Dovey, a 1953 song by the R&B group The Clovers.That song's co-writer was Ahmet Ertegun, who later became head of Atlantic Records. Ertegun sued Miller for plagiarism.iller most likely heard the word on a song called The Letter, which was recorded by the Los Angeles Doo-Wop group The Medallions in 1954. It was written by their lead singer Vernon Green, who was 16 at the time and crippled with polio.
