She Started this HeatWave......Finish the Lyric

I spent summers in New England slaving in various theaters' costume shops during college.   One theater in particular use to play muzak the hour or so before the performances.  The costume shop was in the basement of the theater so every evening while we worked we were forced to listen to this looped muzak tape.  Mostly, it was old numbers from old musical films(think 1940's thru 1960's).
One of the songs was the old classic "Heatwave" from the even more classic movie musical from 1954 "There's No Business Like Show Business", staring Ethel Merman, Dan Dailey, Mitzi Gaynor & Donald O'Connor.  Also featured in the film was Marilyn Monroe and she performed the Heatwave number.

Have a look at it if you like this sort of thing....



Us Costume shop folks use to put on our own impromptu performances of these songs when they played. 
I can tell you only that they were not as well choreographed but just as cheesy as this one with alot more 'camp'.

This is what happens after you've been awake for 3 days straight trying to get the costumes done for opening night.....


I'm off to go spend time with my #2 BFF before I start my own personal heatwave meltdown.
I will say #2 BFF's  personality is all wet and she has a wickedly cold sense of humour but I wouldn't trade her for all the SmartSource coupons in the world....
