Vintage Tune of the Day: Gene Kelly "Singing in the Rain"

A bit of a different take on today's vintage tune.

Probably the best scene from any movie. EVER.

Fun fact: Gene Kelly was sick with 103 degree fever on the day he filmed this scene and refused to go home at the request of the director. Oh, and the rain, yeah that was a mix of water and milk to make it show up on camera more than just water. Probably smelled really good after a few hours.

You're welcome.

Vintage Tune of the Day: The Animals "The House of the Rising Sun"

What a nice little tune about...a brothel, no bigs.

The most surprising thing you might learn today is that this song is claimed to have been made all the way back in the 16th Century and over time adopted in the late 19th/early 20th Century by Americans who changed the location to New Orleans.

In any event here is the most famous of all the different renditions this song has offered.

Vintage Tune of the Day: The Drifters 'Under the Boardwalk'

I apologize to loyal readers (all three of you) for the slacking lately. It's summertime. In fact today's song is quite summer inspired.

On with the show.

Today's vintage song is a tune that I adore. It brings a smile to my face every time I hear it.



The Drifters, man, now that was a band. So many great songs.

Vintage Tune Of the Day: The Platters "Only You"

This song has to be one of the best love songs...ever. That might make a good blog post. Ten best love songs. Watch for it.

Oh So Shiny and New: Vintage Tune of the Day

Welcome to a new daily post here at Inflamed Temperament. As a lover of all things vintage, I suggest we stop calling music classic, and start calling it vintage.

Every day I will bring a vintage tune of the day.

Be warned to expect massive amounts of Sinatra, the Doors, and the Beatles. If you're not into that stuff...what's wrong with you? I kid. Not really...but seriously though.

Here is today's tune:



Ohhh, Sinatra. Love that song and before you tell me there are better versions, slow your roll.

Here's the Flamingos' version:




Two in one day. I'm nice like that.
