[78-L] Songs with Fred Astaire in the lyrics

[Bertrand CHAUMELLE]

That was "Do It The Hard Way" (1940). "Fred Astaire once worked so 
hard/ he often lost his breath/ and now he taps all others chaps to 
death".

There's also "On Your Toes" from ON YOUR TOES (1936): "They climb the 
clouds/ To come through with/ Aimail/ The dancing crowds/ Look up to 
same rare male/ Like that Astaire male".

Beyond the 'forties, there are shows and movies like WHAT MAKES SAMMY 
RUN ?, THE ROAD TO HONG KONG, IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER, BELL ARE 
RINGING, TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME, WONDERFUL LIFE (UK), A DAY IN 
HOLLYWOOD - A NIGHT IN THE UKRAINE...
