White Christmas

We've been watching White Christmas today, Dar has been wanting to. It has a ton of dancing and songs, and it makes me wonder how they could put something like that together. Think how much went into it, not only did they have lines, but they choreographed it and sang as well, and it's not simple melody lines like we hear so much now, it has harmonies and complex themes in such a simple time period.

You'd really have to know what you were doing. Be the best of the best. It isn't like that anymore. Not really. But we don't have the fake happiness thing anymore, it's more closer to home, most times anyways.

And they use words like swell.

Who says swell?

Who wants to say swell?

Proves my point. No one wants to say swell anymore. Not even me, not that I would have in that time period. But it was much cooler back then.

One thing I have to say is that no matter how ridiculously dorky Danny Kaye is, he is still awesome beyond belief.
