New Orleans (Hoagy Carmichael song)
" New Orleans" is a 1932 popular song written by Hoagy Carmichael.
The song is now considered a jazz standard, along with several other Carmichael compositions such as" StardustGeorgia on My Mind" and" Lazy River".
The song was recorded by Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra and the Casa Loma Orchestra as an up- tempo number, but failed to achieve success until Carmichael released a slower version of the song with Scottish vocalist Ella Logan.
It was based on the chord progression from the bridge of two earlier standards:" You Took Advantage of Me" and" Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams".
A classic recording is by Ella Logan and Carmichael.
Another is by Dorothy Loudon in her album entitled" Saloon."
Al Hirt released a version on his 1963 album," Our Man in New Orleans".
Canadian rock band Stampeders included a cover of the song on their 1975 album" Steamin", and Teddi King also covered it on her 2008 album"' Round Midnight".
The song was re-done in the 1998 film" Blues Brothers 2000" with the fictitious supergroup
The Louisiana Gator Boys and The Blues Brothers( including original keyboardist Paul Shaffer, who guest- starred in the film and was the original Blues Brothers keyboardist on" Saturday Night Live").

You Took Advantage of Me
"You Took Advantage of Me" is a 1928 popular song composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart, for the musical "Present Arms" (1928), where it was introduced by Joyce Barbour and Busby Berkeley as the characters Edna Stevens and Douglas Atwell.
The characters were formerly married, but still have romantic feelings for each other.
On opening night, Berkeley forgot the lyrics and had to scat and hum the entire second verse.
Berkeley also claimed that his nonsense lyrics for the improvised second verse left Hart "almost apoplectic", but the audience was amused and Hart later forgave him.
The song was subsequently included in the 1930 film "Leathernecking", an adaptation of "Present Arms".
Rodgers described the song as a "sassy and unregretful number" which audiences liked far more than traditional contemporary love songs.
In his book "The Poets of Tin Pan Alley", Philip Furia wrote that the song depicted a "...wittily self deprecating character who was perfectly suited to lyrics that were at once intricately rhymed yet casually conversational."
One of the earliest recordings of the song was Paul Whiteman's 1928 hit version, known especially for the performances of Bix Beiderbecke and Frankie Trumbauer.
The song was a particular favorite of the Prince of Wales (the future Edward VIII).
In fact, he once asked singer Morton Downey to perform the song eleven times during a show at the Café de Paris in London.
The song can be sung by either gender, but has traditionally been sung by women.

Your Toes" and "Babes in Arms," and Oscar Hammerstein II, with whom he wrote musicals through the 1940s and 1950s such as "Oklahoma!CarouselSouth PacificThe King and I", and "The Sound of Music".
