Two for Twoday
I was trying to think what to post tonight that would be appropriate. And this came to mind. It's from a 1960 movie that starred Bing Crosby, High Time, about the owner of a national chain of hamburger restaurants who decides to go back to college. (It got basically remade in 1986 with Rodney Dangerfield as Back to School. I say "basically" because I don't think it gave credit but is incredibly close in plot and even scenes.) The song was written by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, and was nominated for Best Song -- though lost out to "Never on Sunday."
Even though Bing Crosby introduced it, Frank Sinatra had a big hit with it and oddly is even more associated with it. And his version seems to fit a little be better for the occasion.
All that aside, it just seems so right for today.
And what the heck, let's throw in second one, for a bonus. Because you can never say "a second one" today enough times.
