I use to sing the chorus to my youngest daughter. She loved it. She's almost 50.

My grandpa would sing the chorus of this to my grandma when I was little. He passed away last week and I'm glad I found this. Memories once forgotten I can remember again.

Arthur Tracy’s version of this classic song is also delightful. A undying melody by Irving Berlin.

I love this song since 1974 when it was featured in that 1-derful compilation of MGM's musical numbers titled That's Entertainment ! But hearing John Lennon reprising the main phrase in Get Back was so lovely ! Now I love The Beatles even more (if such a thing is possible) !

When I was a little girl, whenever I was dressed up for something my Dad would sing the chorus to this song when I walked into the room

I have an ear for mu-sic, and i have an eye for a maid. I like a pret-ty girl-ie, with each pret-ty tune that's played. They go to-geth-er, like sun-ny weath-er goes with the month of may. I've stud-ied girls and mu-sic, so i'm qual-i-fied to say Chorus A pret-ty girl is like a mel-o-dy that haunts you night and day, Just like the strain of a haunt-ing re-frain, She'll start up-on a mar-a-thon and run a-round your brain. You can't es- cape she's in your mem-o-ry. by morn-ing night and noon. She will leave you and then come back a-gain, A pret-ty girl is just like a pret-ty tune

Don Ameche, great guy, he and Francis Langford were good friends in real life. He was married for years and a nice person. Francis had a restaurant in Jensen Beach Fl, the Outrigger and Don Ameche use go there when he was in Florida. Great Folks.

One of the factors that make the great "standards" and other beautiful songs of the 1930s and 1940s so memorable lies in the fortunate unity of mood and, to some degree at least, of quality of the lyrics to the music. In music of, say, the 1980s through today, even the finest tunes have utterly banal, makeshift lyrics that are lacking in skill and in the mood of a good tune. Just take (to resort to an extreme example) "A Pretty Girl Is like a Melody", the words of which start off "A pretty girl is like a melody that haunts you night and day". What a pungently suggestive marriage of words and music! Now, fit another text, one, at least, that has similar scansion to the music's rhythm and to the scansion of the original text, but which does not reflect the serene beauty of the original words to this song: "An ugly wench is like a tuneful snatch that slugs you in the gut". Suddently even the tune seems less lovely than before. Words, too, matter, to tuneful music.

@@GamerJW235 Yeah, I figured there would be more of "us"😆 Such a random out of left field song to blurt out. He also sang Danny Boy. Their knowledge and appreciation of this old timey melodic crooner stuff helped make The Beatles songs they were. Today's musicians have no awareness of this music. That's why there's no more "melodies"😒

Great tune, best dubbed by Allan Jones in "The Great Ziegfeld" (1936). Old celluloid always sounds better than old radio recordings. But I'm still disappointed with this Ameche rendition. It was done better only three years previous.
