"Dancing in the Dark" is a popular song, with music by Arthur Schwartz and lyrics by Howard Dietz, that was first introduced by John Barker in the 1931 revue The Band Wagon. The 1941 recording by Artie Shaw and His Orchestra earned Shaw one of his eight gold records at the height of the Big Band era of the 1930s and 1940s.

It was subsequently featured in the classic 1953 MGM musical The Band Wagon and has since come to be considered part of the Great American Songbook. In the film it is given a 'sensual and dramatic' orchestration by Conrad Salinger for a ballet performance by Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse.

The song has also been recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Bea Wain, Bing Crosby, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Diana Krall, Tony Bennett, Diamanda Galas, Bill Evans, and others.

"The Song from Moulin Rouge" (also known as "Where Is Your Heart") is a popular song that first appeared in the 1952 film Moulin Rouge.

The music was written by Georges Auric. The original French lyrics were by Jacques Larue, the English words by William Engvick.

However, in the film the song is called "It's April Again", and there is no mention of the phrase "Where Is Your Heart". A similar instance occurred in Romeo and Juliet, in which the love theme was entitled "What Is a Youth?" in the film,featuring lyrics by Eugene Walter, and sung by Glen Weston. This version has been released on the complete-score soundtrack release. It became "A Time For Us", featuring lyrics by Larry Kusik and Eddie Snyder with this version being recorded by Johnny Mathis and Andy Williams.

In Moulin Rouge, the theme song was sung by Muriel Smith, dubbing for Zsa Zsa Gabor who lip-synched to Smith's singing.

The most popular version of the song was made by Percy Faith's Orchestra, with a vocal by Felicia Sanders. The recording by Faith and Sanders was made on January 22, 1953 and released by Columbia Records as catalog number 39944. It first reached the Billboard charts on March 28, 1953 and lasted 24 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1.

In the United Kingdom, the version by Mantovani was the biggest hit. This version also charted in the U.S. The recording by Mantovani was released in the U.S. by London Records as catalog number 1328. It first reached the Billboard chart on May 16, 1953 and lasted 5 weeks on the chart, peaking at #13. However, in the United Kingdom Mantovani's version of the track reached number one in the UK Singles Chart.

The song also reached number one on the Cash Box chart, which combined all versions, in 1953. Both Faith's and Mantovani's versions sold over a million copies.

A recording by Henri René and His Orchestra Saxophone solo: Alvy West was made at Manhattan Center, New York City, on March 20, 1953. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-5264 (in USA) and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog number B 10483.

Victor Skaarup wrote the Danish lyrics. The Danish title is "Sangen fra Moulin Rouge". Raquel Rastenni with Hans Peder Åse's orchestra recorded it in Copenhagen in 1953. The song was released on the 78 rpm record His Master's Voice X 8136.

In Australia, The Mastertouch Piano Roll Company released a player-piano roll version, number AD 4716, in 1953. - Wikipedia

"Charmaine" is a popular song written by Erno Rapee, with lyrics by Lew Pollack. The song was written in 1926 and published in 1927. However, Desmond Carrington on his BBC Radio 2 programme marked the song's writing as being in 1913.

The song was originally in waltz time, but later versions were in common time.

The song was originally composed for the silent movie What Price Glory?, and most notably, the best-selling version, recorded by Guy Lombardo & his Orchestra, spent seven weeks at the #1 position in 1927. It was also featured in the movie Two Girls And A Sailor. It was recorded by the Harry James orchestra in 1944.

An instrumental version arranged by Ronald Binge and performed by the Mantovani orchestra was his first hit on the United States charts in 1951. This recording was released by London Records as catalog number 1020. It first reached the Billboard charts on November 9, 1951 and lasted 19 weeks on the chart, peaking at #10.

Another recording, by Gordon Jenkins' orchestra, with a vocal by Bob Carroll, also charted in 1951. This recording was released by Decca Records as catalog number 27859. It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on December 7, 1951 and lasted 1 week on the chart, at #26.

The Bachelors' version reached #5 in the British charts in 1963.
"Charmaine" is one of many popular songs whose lyrics use a "Bluebird of happiness" as a symbol of cheer: "I wonder, when bluebirds are mating, will you come back again?"
