Bing Crosby - Moonlight Becomes You - Video and Lyrics
Okay, so I’m starting Bing Crosby week a day early today. (From now on, Crooner Weeks will start on Mondays.)
Bing sings “Moonlight Becomes You” in the film “Road To Morocco
One reviewer says:
“Road to Morocco, number three in the series of breezy comedies teaming Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, may be the funniest of the bunch. Bing and Bob find themselves Morocco-bound (”like Webster’s dictionary”), caught in an elaborately faked-up world of harems, palm trees, and other Arabian Nights bric-a-brac. Naturally, Dorothy Lamour is also there, as she was the customary target of male rivalry in the Road scenarios. There is something so loose and ingratiating about the patter between Hope and Crosby that it doesn’t ultimately matter if half the jokes don’t land; these guys had their own comfortable rhythm, fueled by cheerful one-upmanship. Their sense of spontaneity broke the fourth wall between movie and audience in a way only the Marx Brothers had really accomplished before, and audiences–feeling in on the joke–ate it up. Songs (including “Moonlight Becomes You”), topical references, and ancient vaudeville routines fill out the program.”
It’s got a kind of Romeo & Juliet meets Lloyd Dobler kinda feel to it, don’t you think? ;)
Lyrics - Moonlight Becomes You
Bing Crosby
Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you, I’m thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight
You’re all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don’t tell me I’m wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
If I say I love you
I want you to know
It’s not just because there’s moonlight
Although, moonlight becomes you so
—— instrumental break ——
You’re all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don’t tell me I’m wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
If I say I love you
I want you to know
It’s not just because there’s moonlight
Although, moonlight becomes you so
