Tea for Two
Of special note is the performance by Doris Day and Gene Nelson in the 1950 film "Tea for Two". This is a frame tale based on a putative production of "No, No, Nanette" (written in 1925 by the prolific Caesar, Otto Harbach, and Vincent Youmans); "Tea for Two" being a number inserted into the original "Nanette". "Crazy Rhythm" is presented in this film as a demonstration for backers of the production-to-be. Thus, it has come to be associated with the popular "Tea" and "Nanette", while "Here's Howe" is largely forgotten. Day and Nelson also recorded "Crazy Rhythm" on the album "Tea for Two"—not a soundtrack but a distinct studio recording in which Nelson does a tap solo, not seen or heard on film.
