The Michael Perry Show.

In 1977, the great composer, Irving Berlin, wrote, puttin' on the wreaths, which would first be recorded by Harry Rickman,

and a matter of days later by Fred Astaire, who was born on this day, in the last year of the 19th century, 1899, May 10th.

Frederick Austerlitz was born, who would of course become better known as dancer after singer, choreographer, and presenter, Fred Astaire.

Who had the better version, Fred Astaire, Frankenstein's Monster?

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to, why don't you go, where fashion sit?

The problem is young Frankenstein is so good.

Gene Wylder is so, you know what's amazing about this?

Gene Wylder is recording all day for Blazing Saddles, going home at night and writing young Frankenstein.

And halfway through the filming of Blazing Saddles, Mel Brooks says, Wylder says, hey come look at what I'm working on, I want you to help me finish this thing up.

And Mel Brooks didn't know what to do, like, you're going home at night every night after a whole day of filming, to write a whole different, awesome movie?

I mean think about the creative juices to switch from your daytime character to your evening character and you're not just acting, you're writing it.

It's absolutely amazing. It is staggeringly amazing.

As was, by the way, Fred Astaire.

Considered, quote, the greatest popular music dancer of all time.

I don't think he's wrong.

What dancer?

There are plenty of names that would be British Nikon.

Gregory Hines, that's a good movie, by the way.

Gregory Hines and Michael British, you don't know the name of that movie?

Have you seen it?

Oh my goodness.
