Anything Goes Cole Porter (with lyrics)
A song written by Cole Porter for his 1934 musical of the same name, set aboard an ocean liner. Many of the lyrics feature humorous references to various figures of scandal and gossip in Depressionera high society. The song occurs towards the end of the first act, as nightclub singer Reno Sweeney reflects that a brief romance aboard the ship with Lord Evelyn Oakleigh could mean she will soon be married, since in modern times love moves fast. Reflecting on modern romance and trends, she sings this song with the cast. Anything Goes was notably featured in the 1984 film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and on radio stations within hit video games Fallout 3 Fallout 4 (updated with backing music from Vince Giordano The Nighthawks).
