Frank blows the lyrics and wrecks the rhyme when he sings "candied ribbon" instead of "ribboned candy" to rhyme with Napoleon Brandy - but being the star he was, he wasn't thrown by it although he obviously knew what he had done - I still love it!

In case anyone doesn't know it This was a LIVE performance. There were no retakes and this was never filmed. Existing copies are from kinescopes, films made from television screens. Some of these are now being digitized. They are priceless reminders and evidence of the trials performers went through. You'll see walls falling over, people slipping, actors not being able to open doors, some singers starting in the wrong key or just completely forgetting the lyrics.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and glad it was uploaded; it's one of only two times in their long careers they performed together (that I know of). But they were actors. There's no way to really know how they felt about this material, about each other, about anything.

In 1936 Crosby & Merman starred in the film version of Anything Goes. Many lyrics were changed for the film version as well. 20 or so years later, Sinatra is playing the Crosby role in this performance. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fnea06uRma_eg6g.html

I personally thought it was meant to be sarcastic, so when I first saw the comment I laughed. What made me think so was the statement that "Ethel Merman should stop following in the amazing Sutton Foster's footsteps", which is of course absurd; if the commenter was serious, I'm sure it would be phased another way. Also, note how many times Sutton's name is used more than necessary, and the excessive use of exclamation marks.
