Gershwin - Walking the Dog - Beginner's Luck

[chrislukelily]

Perhaps God, knowing how short their lives would be, endowed Mozart, Schubert and Gershwin with immortal talent.

this is the theme song to all dog walks worldwide

3:12-4:50

I wish the score existed for this more upbeat section of the tune. It makes a nice follow-up to the more stately walking tune.

Jack Gibbons transcribed it for piano, but so far as I know that's the only time it's ever been heard since this film.

What I love about this music is how it moves just like one of Astaire 's seduction dances- especially from 1:16 on when the music becomes more insistent- and Astaire and Rogers's faster walking even looks like dance choreography (but not quite). And in the later dog-walking scene when they *are* together, Astaire gives the best lead-in to a song: "first time I find myself on a boat with somebody like you, it turns out to be...you!!" Great clip!!

Hilarious how Ginger let Fred trail along for 20 seconds and didn't yell "Flip off!" LOL

Such a catchy song, this. :)

lol so cute

Thank you violinthief, it's so nice to watch the whole sequence through to the end. I love the first bit where Fred almost dances the pantomime about getting a dog to walk, and then the whole seduction in six minutes flat! Wonderful, and such sweet music.

I salute you George.

Your music will live on forever!

[cyclopticeye]

This is still one of my favorite Gershwin melodies.
