01/20/97: If it's a musical,

Posted By: Philm Phan


I want to know who sings the title song, which originally appeared in the best Marx Brothers movie of all, "Horsefeathers." Groucho crooned it to Thelma Todd in a canoe. ("I asked for a flat bottom, but the girl at the boathouse didn't have one.")

"Everyone says that I love you/But just what they say it for I never knew/It's just inviting trouble for the poor sucker who/Says 'I love you.'

"Everything that ever grew/the goose and the gosling and the kangaroo/The duck upon the water when he feels that way too/Says -"

Here, Duck Lady, is where a duck butts in with quackquackquack. Wonderful scene.
