You sound sweet, but you don't make sense.
Linda Mason in "Holiday Inn"
Watched the Holidays classic "Holiday Inn" last night - a version that has the deeply unfortunate blackface scene in.

I didn't realize Irving Berlin totally coasted on his musical intution for melodies, and wrote a lot in F-sharp major (or G-flat minor) since that leans on just the black keys (in fact he had custom piano that could transpose)
