Bold denotes the most current and rampant crush.
Elsa Lanchester!?!?!?!
Question: in what movie does Rosemary Clooney sing "That Ain't Hay, That's the U.S.A."?
Of course Elsa. She was smart and pretty. Before she got fat, I mean; that's why I included years.
Answer: I don't know. What?
No, really, I was asking you in the hope you might know. I have a persistant memory of it...she was on a train when she sang it, watching the fields go by...but the movie's title escaped my memory. I have, of course, run a web search for it but so far no luck.
It was Judy Canova who sang it in Sis Hopkins.
Thanks, I think. I would have sworn it was Rosemary. So much for memory. [bertie skulks away blushing]
