Maureen McGovern The Continental (lyrics)
Музыка
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It's something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra new
It's very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance
Your lips whisper so tenderly
His eyes answer your song
Two bodies swaying, the Continental,
And you are saying just what you're thinking of
So, keep on dancing the Continental
For it's a song of romance and of love
You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, oh oh oh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle, oh oh oh, and sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with him and he's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancing
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul,
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
The Continental

This has to be the all time BEST rendition of this classic song that was ever made..Maureens voice is superb, and the orchestra is absolutely FANTASTIC, and it was recorded wonderfully...!! every nuance of the band can be heard so clearly and sharply!! Thank you so very much!!
I had this on vinyl as a very young man in love with the glamour of the '20s and '30s; I agree; this is easily the very best version of this classic romantic escapist song. Beautiful music!
Love, love, love her version of The Continental. It brings back major memories.
All of a sudden I thought of this song, searched for it on KZread and this came out on top! Haven't heard this in over 40 years, and I'm so happy to have found it again!
I hear music like this, and can't help thinking that I was born a few decades too late. (1951)🕺💃
Beautiful xxx, Maureen McGovern, stunning tone in vocals.
Maureen's rendition is just perfect.
This terrific. I heard it on Radio 2 in the car this morning and was totally overwhelmed. Maureen McGovern is a talent of gigantic proportions and I had never heard her, or of her, before. Thank you so much for posting. I am going to listen to all the rest of this wonderful woman's tracks on youtube.
WOW! Double WOW, WOW!! What a version. Magnificent.
Just gorgeous and I have a perfect foxtrot choreographed in my head to this!!!
Always loved this version - used to play it on my record player all the time. Excellent!
I remember this song. If I didn't hear this song here on KZread, I would never have believed Maureen McGovern sang it. It didn't even sound like her. Amazing how she could sing in 1930's style. What a talent. I always loved her music.
ESPECTACULAR.....una de las canciones mas hermosas de todos los tiempos y sin lugar a dudas, una de las mejores versiones....
@HotSummerof1976 I also remember this song from the summer of 76, it was on the radio a lot at the time, there was a kind of swing revival going on then. Brings back good memories!
I remember this song (before I even heard of Fred & Ginger) in the seventies as a child and fell in love with it. So evocative even then, at the age of six, of a bygone era. Now my own little girl loves it...
A great little song- brings back great memories of 1976- I was 27 and the world was my oyster- happy days!
She has a great voice and has done some great work check her out on Spotify unfortunately this song isn’t on there
I recall this from the summer of 76,my mum use to sing to it on the radio.
i luv this song....maureen does a superb job na:-)
A lovely pseudo-1930s version of the Fred & Ginger classic ... UK #16 in July 1976.
it's beautiful...
Oh my goodness me! Thank you for this post! I used to ask Daddy to "put the bubble song on", the champagne cork popping at the beginning just got me like I was five years old again - pure nostalgia! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Yup, marvellous :)
Great track
This is great. Not much else to say........
Marvellous
Equipment...techniques..and styles move along over the years but this has to be the best version of this great song. They've captured the flavour of the original and improved on it....and doesn't she sing it well....wonderful.
omg i love this song. see the way fred looks at ginger so romantic
Love this...such a rarity...
This version is actually superior to how it's sung in the original film. I was visiting Britain in the summer of 1976 and heard this, and thought it was excellent. Of course it never got played in the USA, and I don't think I've ever heard it again till just now.

My father lived in Miami, FL in the 60s and 70s; he used to sing this song to me in the 80s--when I was little. ;) He *did* visit Europe (England, Austria, Germany, Spain, et. al.) when he was 18, though...so maybe he heard it there.
one of my all time faves of days gone by....luvly voice beautiful song:-)
I cannot believe that you have this CD...I have been trying to get this forever...now I can hear this all the time...thanks so much for sharing.:0)

2:10 There are some birds that do a courtship ritual like this, I can't think of their name but I wondered if the choreographer had this in mind when he thought this up.
Beautiful Music with Dangerous Rhythms Check out those Time Signatures 🎶

This song is a true pearl! can you please let me know how can I get it on CD or itunes?
Maravilha
Also a more recent French version by Laura Fygi from 2007 on an album called Rendez Vous
This song can go ahead throttle.
This is over the top satire of the 20s
A fantastic song...you should hear Ginger sing it to Fred in the movie, "The Gay Divorcee"....
Carpenters long play songs
She is a wonderful performer and what a voice!!! Pity one can't purchase a cd version of this LP - Academy Award Performances. Any clues?
For French version try Jean Sablon or for an instrumental version Jean Paques
Who`s the artist on the film talking to the man? Funny song.
gee wiz...wish I had a guy that would take me in his arms and dance like that with me................Sigh
@MrChristopher2368 Ive been looking for years haha...Tell me if you find it :)
what on earth is a dangerous rhythm?!

I translated this song into Urdu because I'm cool. شاندار موسیقی خطرناک تال یہ ہمت والی چیز ہے ، کنٹینینٹل رقص کرنے کا ایک طریقہ جو واقعتا ultra انتہائی نیا ہے یہ نہایت ٹھیک ٹھیک ، کانٹنےنٹل ہے کیونکہ یہ وہی کرتا ہے جو آپ کرنا چاہتے ہیں اس کا ایک جنون ہے ، کنٹینینٹل چاندنی اور رومانس کی دعوت یہ بالکل فیشن ہے ، کنٹینینٹل کیونکہ جب آپ رقص کرتے ہیں تو آپ اپنی محبت کے بارے میں بتاتے ہیں آپ کے ہونٹ اتنے نرمی سے سرگوشی کرتے ہیں اس کی آنکھیں تمہارے گیت کا جواب دیتی ہیں دو لاشیں ڈوب رہی ہیں ، کانٹنےنٹل ، اور آپ وہی کہہ رہے ہیں جس کے بارے میں آپ سوچ رہے ہیں تو ، کانٹنےنٹل ناچتے رہیں کیونکہ یہ رومانس اور محبت کا گانا ہے تم ناچتے ہو. بوسہ دیتے ہو یہ براعظم ہے ، اوہ اوہ ، یہ براعظم ہے جب تم ناچتے ہو تو گاتے ہو آپ کی آواز نرم ہے ، اوہ اوہ ، اور جذباتی ہے رقص کے گزرنے سے پہلے آپ کو پتہ چل جائے گا کہ آپ کو اس سے پیار ہے اور وہ آپ سے پیار کرتا ہے آپ ڈھونڈتے ہو find ملیں گے یہ آپ کے دل و جان میں ایک تال ہے ، ایک مخصوص تال جس پر آپ قابو نہیں پاسکتے ہیں اور آپ ہر وقت کانٹنےنٹل کریں گے شاندار موسیقی خطرناک تال شاندار موسیقی خطرناک تال کانٹنےنٹل
Good, but this is Ginger's song.
