Favorite Irving Berlin written song?
He wrote a lot of very popular songs.

List of songs written by Irving Berlin - Wikipedia
I was amazed! God Bless America, White Christmas and Easter Parade are my favorites but I love many others. |

I found the list fascinating from the perspective of "art imitating life", and so much of Mr. Berlin's music reflected the time-period in which it was written. His songs encompassed two world wars so a lot of his music was themed for those times. Also, "I like Ike" (and "I Still Like Ike") are obviously written for a pretty narrow time period. But in just going over the list, regardless of the quality of the music, just how many of his song titles would never have made the cut today for various reasons? Here is my arbitrary list of such songs: A Man to Cook For Always Treat Her Like a Baby Business For a Good Girl is Bad Chase All Your Cares and Go to Sleep, Baby Come Along Sextette De Tant Amour-De Tant D’Ivresse Easter Parade Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Goodbye, Girlie, And Remember Me Harem Life He’s a Rag Picker I Hate You I Left My Door Open and My Daddy Walked Out If You Don’t Want My Peaches (You’d Better Stop Shaking My Tree) I’m an Indian, Too In My Harem It Takes an Irishman to Make Love Just Another Kill Lady of the Evening Lock Me in Your Harem and Throw Away the Key Look Out for That Bolsheviki Man My Wife’s Gone to the Country (Hurrah! Hurrah!) Sex Marches On Take a Little Wife The Ten Best Undressed Women in the World To My Mammy We’ll All Be in Heaven When the Dollar Goes to Hell You’re a Sucker for a Dame Seems as if we lose a lot when we censor art. |
