Ah, the Moon is Here

Colour Collective has started back up on Twitter. I'm currently flattened by the January rush, but I couldn't miss out on the first one, so I squeezed in a quick little fadeaway girl. 

This week the colour was Rose Quartz and I chose an esoteric little song from 1933's Footlight Parade - one of my favourite movies. It doesn't get a big production number, and they don't even sing the whole song, but Dick Powell (who sang it in the film) recorded it fully to coincide with the film. The song was written by Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal.

Ah, the moon is here

Ah, and we are here

Love is off to a beautiful start

I'm sitting pretty

You're by my side

I'm well supplied

Plenty of you

Plenty to do

Ah, it feels so grand

When I hold your hand

There's a hop, skip and jump in my heart

What is this funny thing I can't get too much of?

Ah, I've got a feeling it's love

Here we are at last

With the day fading fast

Like a boy and a girl in a storybook

Here we are alone

In a world of our own

Like a pair in a love song sweet

Here's the note, dear

As in the song and book, dear

Take a look, dear

The picture is complete

Ah, it feels so grand

When I hold your hand

There's a hop, skip and jump in my heart

What is this funny thing I can't get too much of?

Ah, I've got a feeling it's love

Here's Dick Powell singing it:

I went with a 1930s beach-pyjama look, because who doesn't love beach pyjamas?

There are so many things wrong with this that it's not funny, but overall I like it - eventually, when I have some Spare Time (I know, I should be on the comedy circuit, I'd have them rolling in the aisles with lines like that =P) I'd like to take my favourite fadeaway girls and spend a decent amount of time making them all really nice. Most of them are pretty rough and ready.
