"You've Got What Gets Me" (1932)


I mentioned that the movie version of "Animal Crackers" ditched some of the Kalmar & Ruby songs but did add a new song by the team. 

A similar thing happened with the George & Ira Gershwin songs from the musical “Girl Crazy.”

The 1932 movie adaptation of “Girl Crazy” from RKO starring Wheeler & Woolsey cut several of the songs from the show (including the standard “Embraceable You”) but added “You’ve Got What Gets Me” by the Gershwins. 

It’s a cute song, sung by Bert Wheeler and his usual romantic interest, Dorothy Lee, if not a standard. 

We go back to England with this version by Roy Fox and his Orchestra with the great vocalist Al Bowlly on Decca:

 

Al Bowlly adds class to any record!
