Be a Clown
"Be a Clown" is a song written by Cole Porter for the 1948 film "The Pirate".
The song was performed twice in the film: first by Gene Kelly and The Nicholas Brothers and then at the end of the film by Kelly and Judy Garland.
It was also sung in "Mickey's Fun Songs:
Let's Go To The Circus" although some of the lyrics were changed.
The song was featured in an episode of "Land of the Giants" and also in the 2004 film "De-Lovely".
The song "Make 'Em Laugh" (by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed) in the film "Singin' in the Rain" appears to be very similar to "Be a Clown," although Cole Porter did not make a complaint.
Both films were Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer productions and starred Kelly, who appeared in (but did not sing) the "Make 'Em Laugh" segment of the latter film in which the song was performed by Donald O'Connor.

Judy Garland
Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm; June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was an American actress, singer and dancer.
During a career that spanned 45 years, she attained international stardom as an actress in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage.
Respected for her versatility, she received an Academy Juvenile Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Special Tony Award.
In 1962, Garland won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for her 1961 double LP live recording "Judy at Carnegie Hall"—the first woman to win in this category.
She is considered by many to be one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century.
Garland began performing in vaudeville as a child with her two elder sisters and was later signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager.
She appeared in more than two dozen films for MGM, and is best remembered for her portrayal of Dorothy Gale in "The Wizard of Oz" (1939).
Garland was a frequent on-screen partner of both Mickey Rooney and Gene Kelly and regularly collaborated with director and second husband Vincente Minnelli.
Some of her film appearances during this period include roles in "Meet Me in St. Louis" (1944), "The Harvey Girls" (1946), "Easter Parade" (1948), and "Summer Stock" (1950).
Garland was released from MGM in 1950, after 15 years with the studio, amid a series of personal struggles that prevented her from fulfilling the terms of her contract.
Although her film career became intermittent thereafter, two of Garland's most critically acclaimed performances came late in her career: she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in "A Star Is Born" (1954) and a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961).
She also made record-breaking concert appearances, released eight studio albums, and hosted her own Emmy-nominated television series,
"The Judy Garland Show" (1963–1964).
At age 39, Garland became the youngest and first female recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in the film industry.
In 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the 10 greatest female stars of classic American cinema.
Garland struggled in her personal life from an early age.
The pressures of early stardom affected her physical and mental health from her teens onward; her self-image was influenced and constantly criticized by film executives who believed that she was physically unattractive.
Those same executives manipulated her onscreen physical appearance.
Throughout her adulthood she was plagued by alcohol and substance abuse, as well as financial instability; she often owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes.
Her lifelong addiction to drugs, including alcohol, ultimately led to her death in London from an accidental barbiturate overdose at age 47.
