This week at Kimkattia, DJ Katt is back with another of her Saturday Night Getdowns. This week, "Anything Goes" (and it probably will).
"Anything Goes" is a classic song from the 1934 musical of the same name by Cole Porter. It's a lively, upbeat tune that captures the freewheeling spirit of the Roaring Twenties, even though it was written a bit later during the Great Depression. The lyrics are full of witty references to social and cultural scandals of the time, with Porter's signature clever wordplay. The main theme is that in a crazy world, anything goes – morals are relaxed, traditions are tossed aside, and having fun is the priority. "Anything Goes" has become a standard and has been covered by many famous artists, from Tony Bennett to Lady Gaga. It's also been featured in movies, most notably, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, near the start in Club Obi-Wan (yes, George Lucas really did use that name), in Shanghai during the movie's opening chaotic music scene.
Of course, this has nothing to do with this week's KattattaK! but we thought you might like the reference :)
