Cheers to the New Year!

 Gotta celebrate New Year's ALMOST Eve this Sunday,

so Shirley, up waaaaay past her bedtime,

will show up to sing "Auld Lang Syne!"

 At a High Society party,

Frank and Bing compare "Did You Evahs",

croon (a bit), and even dance (or try to)!

 

Clark Gable in Idiot's Delight (above), 1939,

and his one and only musical performance (on film, anyway):

"Puttin' On The Ritz"

 Another "Ritz" version

from Young Frankenstein (the film):

Above Teri Garr, Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, 

and (mastermind) Mel Brooks.

Below, the "boys" in action!

 ...and Mel's staged version,

above with Christopher Fitzgerald, Roger Bart, Sutton Foster,

and Andrea Martin.

Below, the unchanged choreography,

with Shuler Hensley doing the wings! 

 Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians

 played at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC

from 1929 ("radio's first nationwide New Year's eve broadcast")

til 1959, 

and from then until 1976 at the Waldorf Astoria (below).

 His band's recording of "Auld Lang Syne"

is still the first song played in Time Square when the ball drops.
