Favorite Cole Porter Song


It's impossible to pick just one, isn't it? Nevertheless, I'll go with "Easy to Love."

I know you hate to hear, that I adore you dear. But trust me just the same, I'm not entirely to blame. You'd be so .......

It has to be Anything Goes. So well-written.

if I had to pick - I've Got You Under My Skin - its structure is dazzling No traditional AABA structure I won't say anything more because you would have to know about musical structure - but just listen - there are no repeats - it just builds and then quietly ends - it is brilliant And of course there are the lyrics - Gershwin MIGHT have been a better composer but his brother wrote most of the lyrics - Cole Porter did it all

Ev'rytime We Say Goodbye. I want it played at my funeral.

reply

Let's Fall In Love. Unmatched in its clever lyrics.

Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do,
Let's do it, let's fall in love...

Agreed. All of Porter's songs were great, but Anything Goes, with the cleverness of its lyrics, was the topper, IMO.

Night and Day hand's down.
Next would be Let's Fall in Love closely followed by anything from Kiss Me Kate. So In Love is sublime.

reply

So hard to pick just one song!

For me, it's between So In Love and In The Still Of The Night.
