I've been very lucky, working the bar for many cabaret shows. I saw rehearsals, meltdowns, and breakthroughs. Show business is hard work. Think of BB coaching someone like Malcolm Butler to be prepared to intercept Wilson's pass in the SB as a parallel. I really love seeing the journey behind the scenes of a show, or a song, or a technique. I hope you enjoy this, too:

This song is from the movie "The Big Broadcast of 1938" with Bob Hope and Shirley Ross.

"You might have been a headache, but you never were a bore."

This is probably the most well-known version of the song, which premiered in the Broadway show "Roberta".







Of course, there are the well-known alternative lyrics:

They asked me how I knew
Raccoon shit was blue
I of course then said
Bullshit you are fed
Raccoon shit is red
