Black&white maybe nothing to most people... but it's got to be the most adored genre ever. It's everything to me. I'm drooling over 3:34.

Delightful is an understatement!
Aside from Ginger's infinite talent, the lyrics are immensely clever. And the writers fully expected the audience to understand references to Schopenhauer and Lohengrin. Think about that....

Is the boss really that good looking, or is she just a gold digger?

A quick bit of Wiki research after reading polistra's post reveals-
Elinor Glyn- Author of mass market women's erotic fiction.
Schopenhauer- Philosopher who believed emotional, physical & sexual desires can never be fulfilled.
Lohengrin- Fictional romantic Knight who was sent to rescue a maiden.
The lyrics are very clever!

The music is probably provided by Nat Finston and the Paramount Studio Orchestra- they had a way with jazzy dance music few studio groups could match.

"Pardon me, Miss Gravis are you busy?"
"No, I'm just playing a game of tiddly-winks."
LOOOL!

It's Vernon Duke and 'Yip' Harburg. Their most famous collaboration is probably "April In Paris." Harburg is best known as the lyricist who collaborated with Harold Arlen to write the songs for "The Wizard of Oz."
