Now, on to this week!
Who Did it Better? “Puttin’ on the Ritz”!
Taco
VS
Pomplamoose

Weirdly enough, no one has a video of the actual scene with the dance!! What’s up with that??
The BookWorm Drinketh 
None of these, not even Fred himself, come close to Peter Boyle and Gene Wilder.

Ha ha!!! You read my mind!! I almost put that version as an option. But, as you say, the longer versions have been deleted, it seems. 😢 I’m a HUGE Mel Brooks junkie. ❤️❤️

What’s wrong with Puttin on the Ritz?? At heart I AM 80! 🤣🤣 I grew up with things from the 20s-60s. My dad was in a Laurel and Hardy fanclub that met at my house once a month! So…. Yes. I’m 80 AND LOVING IT!! 😂😂 (The alcohol preserved me. 😉)

Well, if it’s new music you’re going to show me…. IT ALL SOUNDS THE SAME!! 😂😂 I was listening to this Spotify list that had Folk/Americana (all the rage now) and EVERY SONG sounded the same! Lmao!! Now, don’t get me wrong. I like my Mumford and Sons, but why does something good stem a tide of knockoffs until I hate the very thought of what it started as??
*huff huff*
No idea where that rant came from! Apparently, it been too long since I’ve done a “But, I Digress…” 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry, that this went absolutely off the rails! So, what kind of music is on your iPod? 🤔

Hahaha rant away Missis, I agree with the Americana stuff all sounding the same these days. I have so much on my iPod I couldn’t even begin! From Etta James to 5 finger death punch and everything in Between!

Well, both of those are on my iTunes playlist, as well! 😁 Add that to some music from anime, Korean pop and rock, Tom Waits, Viking metal, Louis Armstrong, steam powered giraffe, Pat Benatar, Madisen Ward and Mama Bear, Birdeatsbaby…. You know, fairly eclectic mix…. 🤣🤣

The 1983 version of “Puttin’ on the Ritz” by Taco is the best for me. I love the instruments and the way he sings it.
