It was based on... Trivia Quiz

Answer: I Can't Get Started With You

"I Can't Get Started" (also called "I Can't Get Started With You"), was introduced by Bob Hope, in 1936. With lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and music by Vernon Duke, Hal Kemp and his orchestra took it to 14th on the charts. Happily, trumpeter Bunny Berigan made it his theme song in 1937, changing the mood from downtrodden to joyous. Bunny died in 1942, but his recording made the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1975. Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Dizzy Gillespie, as well as Bing Crosby, Charlie Parker and Rod Stewart, just to name a few, based recordings on this original.

The song also appears in the movie "Chinatown".

Answer: Here's That Rainy Day

"Here's That Rainy Day" was a Frank Sinatra favorite, and so beloved by Johnny Carson he famously sang it with Bette Midler as his, "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson," came to an end in 1992. With music by Jimmy Van Heusen, and lyrics by John Burke, Dolores Gray introduced the song in a fleeting Broadway musical in 1953.

Many, many greats such as Rosemary Clooney, Perry Como, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Lou Rawls and Barbara Streisand based a recording on these words: "Here's that rainy day, They told me about, And I laughed at the thought, That it might turn out this way!" Sinatra sang many other jazz standards, such as "Mack the Knife", "On the Sunny Side of the Street", and "The Lady Is a Tramp". (The hint here was "saved" for a rainy day; and "check" as in rain check)

Answer: Embraceable You

Written in 1928 by Ira Gershwin, with music by George Gershwin, "Embraceable You" was first performed in "Girl Crazy", 1930, by Ginger Rogers, choreographed by Fred Astaire. Doris Day sang "Embraceable You" at a party, where she was heard by a director, which led to a movie role. Liza Minnelli, Chet Baker, Liberace, Andy Williams, and a long list of other greats based their versions on this song.

The Judy Garland version is on the soundtrack of the movie "Catch Me if You Can", 2002, but it was Billie Holiday's recording, 1944, that was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2005.

Answer: The Way You Look Tonight

"The Way You Look Tonight" won the 1936 Academy Award for Best Original Song, beating out other standard greats such as "Pennies From Heaven". Fred Astaire sang it first, and it was featured in the film "Swing Time". Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, the Letterman, the Coasters, Peggy Lee, Phil Collins, Harry Connick, Jr., Ray Charles and many others based versions on this original.

In 1946 jazz musician Eddie Condon picked up the tempo, and future artists followed suit. The song has appeared in a number of films.

Answer: Savoy

Composed by Edgar Sampson in 1934, "Stompin' at the Savoy" was named after The Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, New York City. Opened in 1926, it was torn down in 1958. It had a massive dance floor, and sponsored jazz band competitions, called "Battle of Jazz", featuring Chick Webb's Harlem Stompers.

The "Lindy Hop" and other dance crazes gained fame at the Savoy, which was racially integrated and culturally innovative. London, England had a Savoy Hotel, opened in 1889, also featuring an impression ballroom and an equally impressive guest list.

In 2011 they held a revived, "Stompin' at the Savoy" event. You gotta romp to lyrics like these: "How my heart is singing, While the band is swinging, I'm never, never, never tired of romping, And stomping with you at the Savoy". Savoy meant a fir forest, and then the geographic area which is now Italy and France, where the House of Savoy, sadly void of jazz, was long-lived in the 11 to 14th centuries. Savoy is also a charred and wrinkly cabbage.

Answer: All of Me

This gorgeous melody was written by Seymour Simons and Gerald Marks in 1931, and introduced via radio by Belle Baker, who is said to have broken down crying as she sang. Frank Sinatra recorded it four different times, each with a unique interpretation. Bing Crosby, Count Basie and Billie Holiday sang it, but so did Greasy Gopher Muppet, Willy Nelson and a punk rock band. "Take my arms I want to lose them, Take my lips I'll never use them..." In 2000, "All of Me" won a Towering Songs award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Steve Martin met his wife, Victoria Tennant, on the set of this film.

Answer: Lover Man

"Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)" was written for Billie Holiday, recorded in 1944, and inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1989. Written by Jimmy Davis, Roger Ramirez, and James Sherman, Billie believed that Jimmy Davis deserved the credit for the writing, and she insisted on strings to accompany her vocal.

Many greats based their versions on the original, including Ella Fitzgerald, Patti Labelle, Micheal Jackson, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, and a very drunken, if astounding, Charlie Parker. Sarah Vaughan recorded a version in 1945, with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker on the sax, giving it a bebop beat: "I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad, I long to try something I've never had, Never had no kissin', Oh, what I've been missin', Lover man, Oh, where can you be?".

Answer: It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

"It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" was introduced by the Duke Ellington Band in 1932, with lyrics by Irving Mills, giving us the word "swing" and a name for the "swing era" of the 1930s. "Swing" came to mean a strong, pulsing rhythm, or a "groove" the musicians got into together, exciting listeners to tap their feet and get up and dance. Also in 1932, the Mills Brothers released their own rendition, which soared up the charts. "Black Bottom" and the Fox Trot are from the 1920s.

Answer: Abbott and Costello

Composer Gene De Paul and lyricist Don Raye wrote "You Don't Know What Love Is" in 1941, for the Abbott and Costello film "Keep 'Em Flying", though the song was cut before release. Abbott and Costello featured a number of new songs in their films after the Andrew Sisters introduced the hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" in "Buck Privates", 1941.

The unusual, haunting and sad song was taken up initially by big bands and male voices, but later it was recorded by many, many jazz greats. "You Don't Know..." also appears in the 1999 film, "The Talented Mr. Ripley". For gloom and heartbreak, groove on this: "You don't know how hearts burn, For love that cannot live yet never dies, Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes, You don't know what love is".

Answer: There Will Never Be Another You

"There will be many other nights like this, And I'll be standing here with someone new, There will be other songs to sing, Another fall, another spring...But there will never be another you". With music by Harry Warren, and lyrics by Mack Gordon, this 1942 song lay dormant until it was revived in 1950 by both Lionel Hampton's big band, and Sonny Stitt on tenor sax. Chet Baker's 1954 vocal broadened its appeal, making this unusual swing melody one of the most widely performed standards in all of jazz.

In the original Hollywood film score ("Iceland", 1942), this song suggests a permanent parting, but the lovers were back together less than an hour later.
