"Thoroughly Modern Millie," the song

[Rodney]

Here is the opening titles for the movie Thoroughly Modern Millie. The song of that title is one of my very favorites. Here it is, in context:

The complete song comes a bit into the sequence. It's basically a Charleston number. (I consciously wrote a tune in that style for my concert band piece Anthem, and without being told this a conductor said to the wind orchestra, "This is a great little section--it sounds like something from the 1920s." That was very gratifying! But enough about you.)

"So beat the drum, 'cause here comes THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE now!"

Ashley; I enjoyed Thoroughly Modern Millie both the song and the movie. I don't think I've seen it on TCM. Is it on DVD? It is probably one of Julie Andrew's best.

[Rodney]

I don't know, Chris. I only saw it on TV.

By the way, my name is actually Rodney. I use my step-grandson's name as a way of advertising him, since he's in show biz. I have started two threads about him:

Rodney; I will check on Amazon. I suspect that someone will bring a Julie Andrews collection. I plan to watch your grandson.

[Chris Grieb]

Rodney; There is a DVD. It has not been shown on TCM. Somewhat surprising. Will find out more.
