- From "Follow the Fleet" 1936
Lyric:
As you listen to the band dont you get a bubble?
As you listen to them play dont you get a glow?
If you step out on the floor
Youll forget your trouble
If you go into your dance
Youll forget your woe
So:
Come
Get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Step as lightly as a feather
Let yourself go
Come
Hit the timber
Loosen up and start to limber
Cant you hear that hot marimba?
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Relax
And let yourself go
Relax
Youve got yourself tied up in a knot
The night is cold but the musics hot
So
Come
Cuddle closer
Dont you dare to answer no, sir
Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer
Let yourself go - Krátké a kreslené filmy
In her early 20's, there was nobody prettier than Ginger Rogers!
The whole chorus line is at least as gorgeous as her.🙄
LOVE IT!!!😁 My thanks for posting the best thing since sliced bread!😉 To: Fred & Ginger, the immortal duo!😚
As a professional musician I have always been hyper-aware of the sheer precision of Ginger's vocal delivery. Her sense of time and phrasing is flawless; that stands to reason because of the way she perfected dance movement to rhythm in her films, particularly tap-dancing.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing this.
This is one of my favorite Irving Berlin songs. It's a pity you won't hear songs like this anymore.
It's a pity people don't write songs like this anymore.
This is wonderful to see and hear ❤️!!!
Great movie - great singing - Ginger Rogers had so much talent! Such a great dancer!! Love her movies!!
Notice an early betty grable in the back up singers. Ginger is great in this one.
Thank you for posting this. Ginger was exquisite & delectable to say the least. Betty Grable and Lucille Ball were gorgeous and fine. What a rare treat. I wish the younger generation (20's & 30's somethings ) would see these films. Fred & Ginger are simply untouchable.
I'm listening to this on the bus and almost started singing out loud 😅
Mr. Artaire was a great singer!
DADDY'S VIBE FOREAL. ON GOD BABE. WE HAVE TO THANK GOD FOR YOU ALL. 🌞🌝
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! LOVE THIS SONG AND LOVE FRED AND GINGER:)
The best,
This movie is awesome, in the las dance when they are in the boat, she made some kind of break dance movements, like the robot. She was a real pioneer. Love you Ginger wherever you are. ❤
i love follow the fleet!!!!!!!!!!
I thought ginger was amazing. Beautiful and talented like few are today. She could act, sing and of course, no one comes close to her dancing. She was also incredible in The Gay Divorcee and Flying Down To Rio where she eclisped the exquisite Dolores Del Rio.Fred & Ginger are often imitated, but never duplicated. These two would laugh at todays "dancing."
Not only a first-rate performance from Ginger, but a fine back up from that anonymous trio. I've always liked this song; it's perfect for Ginger's voice.
I always get a kick out of seeing that trio with young Betty Grable in the middle - she had no idea what a big big star she would be shortly thereafter.
These two are outstanding but I think Ginger was the better overall and she is just such a real gem. It would be great to be able to talk to her. Thank goodness someone made this available.
Her singing didn't matter to the studio, she had star quality.
Wow, this is such a catchy song!
I wish they would compose songs like this nowadays...
ann it’s mostly computer generated ‘music’ these days.
There has also been a trend in recent decades for singers to start composing and doing all the work themselves. In these days, you had big composers such as the Gershwin’s or Berlin and then singers like Sinatra, Crosby, Martin, Cole and of course Astaire. It’s better to have two individuals dedicated to a single task than one individual doing 100 things.
What a beautiful and talented cast; no wonder people flocked to see these movies during the Depression when most people didn't have much extra money-
As you listen to the band don't you get a bubble?
As you listen to them play don't you get a glow?
If you step out on the floor
You'll forget your trouble
If you go into your dance
You'll forget your woe
So:
Come, get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Step as lightly as a feather
Let yourself go
Come, hit the timber
Loosen up and start to limber
Can't you hear that hot marimba?
Let yourself go
Let yourself go, relax
And let yourself go, relax
You've got yourself tied up in a knot
The night is cold but the music's hot
So
Come, cuddle closer
Don't you dare to answer "No, sir"
Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer
Let yourself go
Lyrics for anyone who’d love to know 💜
Thank you for posting!
One thing I especially like about CZcams is the spirit of friendship and generosity in which members share information with others who have the temerity not to know the same things they do. I'm sure your graciousness will serve as an example for many self-satisfied potato heads to come. Thanks for the comment.
reckon this is one of ginger's best songs that she sings alone
❤❤❤
Ginger was known for more than just a set of pretty legs as Miss Grable. Ginger was the consummate actress. She could do everything well.
I love Kristin Chenoweth's version of *Let Yourself Go*.
General Tire still owned RKO in the 1980's when I did a lot of work (on a contract basis) for RKO. The Meryl Streep film "PLENTY" is an RKO film. The video recording of "SWEENEY TODD" with Lansbury and George Hearn was also by RKO.
neat lyrics!!!!!! THX for sharing!
I have just been reading all the comments on this great clip and the "Ginger's better than Betty's" comments - no she's not - yes she is. No wonder we still have wars when passions are enflamed so easily, over such trivia. It's a great number, but at the time it wasn't rated so highly by Ginger or Fred - it was just another routine - ya pick 'em up and ya lay 'em down!! So be good & play nicely together!!
Please don't be disrespectful. I am a young person who loves this movie. There are many others as well.
IRVING BERLIN!!!
Greatest of the greats, and there were many greats!
cool clip..shared to the 'GLAM on Media Factory Show TV' Community on Google+
Oh, just one more thing! The trio comprise of Betty Grable (middle) Jeanne Gray (next to Ginger) & Joy Hodges (on the end). This comes from someone who stupidly turned down a dinner invitation (with others of course) to meet Ginger in 1970. OK sock it to me!!
ppl in the 30`s look so happy i wish i was born in that time...oh wait maybe not.....cuz WWII was almost around that time nevermind....lol anyway great music .. i love it
DIVA is what she is..
@MeetLovelySmith: Yes,that is her voice.
@DouglasUrantia I absolutely love both versions... :D
🥰
La rubia del medio es Betty Grable. :)
Ginger's singing was much better on soundtrack then on the few commerical
recordings she made. Maybe that why she made so few?
OK film buffs: is that tiny blond girl dancing at 1:27 Mary Kornman from the Our Gang comedies? I know she was in Flying Down To Rio in 1933 with Rogers/Astaire, where she said of Delores Del Rio's character some line like "what is it those Brazilian girls have below the Equator that we don't have!". What a deathless quip.
kool
@MeetLovelyIvySmith nope that's her voice!
oh wait, someone already answered that :D
imagine if Alice Faye sang that song! Her voice would have also gone very well with this music!
Kristen's version of this is a jazzy modern bar version of this 1930s classic. It's apples and oranges.
nope, but that sure is Betty Grable singing in that trio!!!
I don't know who you think you are talking to people like that. Ginger Rogers won an Oscar in 1940 for Kitty Foyle. That alone makes her better than Betty Grable who was a nonentity beside Ginger.
Is that the Boswell Sisters doing backup vocals?
The middle girl is Betty Grable, not sure who the other two singers are.
*pouts* why can't we dress like that anymore?
I don't think so!
That was not a stupid remark. Yes Betty Grable was in the group. I was disputing the fact that Betty Grable was a bigger star than Ginger. She deffinitely was not. Ginger was far more important.
Compare the Ginger Rogers version of this song to the Boswell Sisters, also available on YT. Poor Ginger turns out to be the weak sister.
Ginger was an actress who just happened to be able to sing and dance, too. Others were dancers and singers first, and actresses second.
@BadboybillyC A good singer should hit their notes too. These gals had heart, that's for sure, and their performances are timeless, but both Rogers and Keeler were flat about as much as they were on key.
Ginger Rogers was *not* a good singer; in fact she's right up there with Ruby Keeler as one of the worst singers of the 1930s. Just listen to the horrible and continuous flat notes in "We're In The Money". Entertaining? Unquestionably. An exceptional dancer? Without a doubt one of the best. But singing was just not her forte.
