Brilliant Lady Burnett 🌹🥰✨💫

[@PonderousProse]

Watching previously unseen Carol Burnett clips is always a joy! And I love the mental image of Bert Lahr & Ethel Merman as figures from 18th Century France! 😂

Their duet "But in the Morning, No" is the second dirtiest song that Cole Porter ever wrote (the first is "Kate the Great"). Here's a modern rendition that pays homage to the original performers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXu8eIabgciEY6M It's a pity that the video with Eileen Brennan and John Hillerman from "At Long Last Love"" has been taken down, but here's the audio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXjQc5KQfcygi80

Burnett was an unknown at the time, just named in the closing credits. Orchestra was under George Bassman.

Why can't we see the entire program?

[@showtunestarpower]

Carol Burnett is fantastic (so what's new?). But it's such a shame that Merman never paid any further attention to this fun song as the years went by. I would have loved to have heard Ethel's version of this risqué song. (And she never recorded Katy with to Haiti either!) Sigh.

Nice person.
