    #TuneTuesday hears #AnimalCalls.

    "Circus on parade", performed by Doris Day and Jimmy Durante.

    It's from the 60s film "Billy Rose's Jumbo", itself based on the 30s Rodgers and Hart musical "Jumbo". The story of a travelling circus, which showed its talent and its animals by marching down Main Street.

    The film was panned by the critics, who said there were only two good things in the movie - the music, and the elephant.

    CW: Mountain greenery - "The Garrick Gaieties" cast

    Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart worked together to provide topical satire songs in a 1925 Broadway revue show, updating the act with new songs as fashions change and news happens.

    "Mountain greenery" appeared in the 1926 revision, showcasing Hart's knack of squeezing in unlikely words (he rhymes 'sequestering' with 'pestering').
