JUDY GARLAND: 'MR MONOTONY'. DELETED SCENE, 'EASTER PARADE'. THE INSPIRATION FOR 'GET HAPPY'. Tube. Duration : 2.85 Mins.
Performed by Judy Garland for Easter Parade, but cut from the film, 1948. Easter Parade was initially a Gene Kelly/Vincente Minnelli project, but Kelly broke his ankle playing football just before filming was to begin. Later, Judy asked to have Minnelli replaced because they were having marital problems, and she thought it would help if they weren't together both at home and on the set. Fred Astaire came out of retirement to replace Gene Kelly, reportedly because he had always wanted to work with Judy (the two had been scheduled to work together on The Belle of New York and Ziegfeld Follies of 1946, but neither opportunity materialized). He ended up spending another twenty years of his life making pictures. Fred Astaire said of Judy, "Judy's not primarily a dancer. But she's the best of her type - an amazing girl. She could do things - anything - without rehearsing and come off perfectly. She could learn faster, do everything better than most people." Though other projects were planned, Easter Parade would be the only pairing of two of the screen's greatest legends - Judy Garland and Fred Astaire. "The reason I got Irving [Berlin] to agree to do Easter Parade was on account of Judy ... because every song writer there ever was - whether it was [Jerome] Kern or Irving or Cole Porter or Harold Arlen - wanted to write for Judy. Judy and Fred, they were the two they wanted their songs sung by." [Arthur Freed] The tux outfit worn by Judy in Easter Parade for Mr Monotony, at the ...

Lyric: Never saw you look quite so pretty before Never saw you dress quite so handsome - what's more I could hardly wait to keep our date This lovely Easter morning And my heart beat fast as I came through the door For... In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it You'll be the grandest fella in the Easter parade. I'll be all in clover, and when they look us over We'll be the proudest couple in the Easter parade. On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, The photographers will snap us And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure. Oh, I could write a sonnet, about your Easter bonnet And of the guy I'm taking to the Easter Parade. On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, The photographers will snap us And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure. Oh, I could write a sonnet About your Easter bonnet And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade.

Irving Berlin (May 11, 1888 September 22, 1989) was an American composer and lyricist widely considered one of the greatest songwriters in history. His first hit song, "Alexander's Ragtime Band", became world famous. The song sparked an international dance craze in places as far away as Russia, which also "flung itself into the ragtime beat with an abandon bordering on mania." Over the years he was known for writing music and lyrics in the American vernacular: uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his aim being to "reach the heart of the average American" whom he saw as the "real soul of the country." He wrote hundreds of songs, many becoming major hits, which made him "a legend" before he turned thirty. During his 60-year career he wrote an estimated 1500 songs, including the scores for 19 Broadway shows and 18 Hollywood films, with his songs nominated eight times for Academy Awards. Many songs became popular themes and anthems, including "Easter Parade", "White Christmas", "Happy Holiday", "This is the Army, Mr. Jones", and "There's No Business Like Show Business". His Broadway musical and 1942 film, This is the Army, with Ronald Reagan, had Kate Smith singing Berlin's "God Bless America" which was first performed in 1938. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, Celine Dion recorded it as a tribute, making it #1 on the charts. Berlin's songs have reached the top of the charts 25 times and have been re-recorded countless times by singers including Frank Sinatra, Barbra ...
