Forget your troubles come on get happy -- or is that Get Hatty!
The wonderful Judy Garland appeared in a 1950 movie called “Summer Stock“. This sequence featured Judy Garland in an iconic performance. She wore a fedora and a Jacket and left her pants at home! If you got the legs show them off. Her daughter, Liza Minnelli, also did a great number that was sort of similar -- Mein Herr from “Cabaret” - all hat and minimal clothing!
Judy appeared with the incomparable Gene Kelly in the movie. It was to be her last musical at the studio.
Here it is forget your troubles come on get happy. “Get Happy” (by) Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler.
Other artists who performed this number were Doris Day and Ella Fitzgerald.
Forget your troubles c’mon get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
shout Hallelujah, c’mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
Do we ever need this uplifting after 2008 -- the year from hell -- unless of course your name is Barack Obama. May your dreams come true in 2009. Good luck to Barack by the way we wish him the best.
