Masterpiece.

@woodstock1330 Yeah, "Make 'Em Laugh" is considered an original song, but it's near-plagiarism of Cole Porter's "Be a Clown." The Pirate came out four years before Singing in the Rain.

They had some skills back then.

@winged20 Yes, but "Make 'Em Laugh" is the only "original" song in the entire movie, written for the movie specifically. When they recorded it, they did go "Hey, isn't this 'Be a Clown'..?", but it was hushed down and ignored. :P They mention it in the documentary usually included on the DVD.

are they the nicolas brothers

@beckmannm Singing in the Rain did copy it but it wasn't plagerism because they were just reworking classics songs. Every song in Singin in the Rain is from another song.

yeah a lot of this sounds plagiarized but as MGM didn't sue I guess they didn't care or thought "make em laugh" was truly better. makes me wonder what they thought of it.

@Feliandyx16 I'm not 100% sure. Gene Kelly surely was a co-choreopgrapher seeing as he did so for many of his films being a dancer and all :D
