I Met A Girl
Orchestra & Chorus Lyrics

The girl that I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satins and laces and smell of cologne

Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
'stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten

A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be

Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
'stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten

A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be

Wonderful. Thank you, Ralf. One little boo-boo - the two photos of The Pied Pipers show the post-1944 group with June Hutton. As you probably know, the Pied Pipers who sang with Dick Haymes and Tommy Dorsey in the 1943 calendar number had Jo Stafford as the female singer.

Your tribute to the MGM vocal groups and the studio Chorus & Orchestra was really wonderful. When "Rhino" records initially released those soundtracks on CD, it was like a miracle to me that all the wonderful background orchestrations and vocal "stems" still existed. Rhino and George Feltenstein at Warner Archives really did a lot of wonderful work preserving all the soundtracks. The sad part is that these are mostly out of print now. The wonderful new technology that exists today (MAL "A.I." technology that they are using to update and remix the Beatles catalogue) would be a perfect reason to go back to these MGM recordings and isolate vocals and instrumentals and give the audio a much needed dynamic audio update. Those musicals COULD sound even better than ever. I hope Warners is considering that. Anyway...your tribute was absolutely sensational and much appreciated. Thanks.

Oh Ralf ... my most sincere and deep thanks for your impeccable taste in creating this video. Congratulations for such an incredible edition and wonderful selection of songs where the wonderful harmonies of the MGM choirs shone with glory in the 40's and 50's. And those amazing original photographs and posters are worth admiring. I am from the early 60's. But I vividly remember many movies that I watched on black and white television, especially I really enjoyed the musicals, and later I admired them even more when I could see them in the glorious technicolor. My only hope is that if humanity is threatened with extinction in the future. Someone as smart as you can save some of these wonderful movies, as proof that humanity did something unique and superb. Once again thank you Ralf for your great work, you have made my heart happy to tears. God bless you

How great to hear the song "Lover" as the opening theme to your video. Lover was a popular song composed around 1932 by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Lorenz Hart.

Ok Ralf - You seem to share the same love for the gorgeous and lush rich vocal harmonics that I have for your selections (many arranged by the duo of Kay Thompson and Roger Edens in the legendary Freed Unit at MGM) It's interesting, that of the films you have selected here in your compilation, the choices you have made are exactly the same numbers I enjoy the most in the said films. Thank you for this - great background music for me to work to. I will play it often. Wonderful edit too.

I think this was a demo tape for retailers to encourage them to sell the remixed soundtracks, on cd's, of m.g.m musicals, .some of the film's soundtrack also remixed for the films, singing in the rain, Ziegfeld Follies of 1946, girls crazy and the wizard of oz, which all were really recorded on 4 track early stereo, but were remix for the mono soundtracks, when they were first released .Fox even has a few 4 channel soundtracks that were preserved form some of the Sonja Hene films, but back then it wasn't called stereo.

@ralfsiebert-filmcreator-ffm

It was released in STEREO for the first time in 1995. For M-G-M Musicals by Turner Entertainment (Label Rhino Records), for 20th Century Fox by Label SAE. Some of those CD's were limited editions (1200 up to 6000 Copies).
When Sony Entertainment started their work in Los Angeles at the former M-G-M Studios (in 2010) they re-released some of those wonderful old Rhino CD's (With Copy control!) and unlimited.

Great video - thanks! Some sound like real stereo and some sound like mono processed to simulate stereo. Can you tell us which is which?

@c3cubed

Where on earth did you find the masters for all of these? I have virtually all of the great classics in my DVD collection, thousands of them, from all the major studios. I also find it interesting that you have "Athena" listed here, as it's certainly one of the most unusual and esoteric for fans of the genre. (Who would have thought a 1954 story based on a family of "vegans" was inspiring enough to draw a musical tableaux)

@ralfsiebert-filmcreator-ffm

+c3cubed
Hello! Thank you for your written words and sentences. "Athena" is an M-G-M-Musical with Jane Powell, Vic Damone, Debbie Reynolds and Edmund Purdom. The Story was originally reserved and written for Esther Williams. She gets a baby at that time and could't work for three months for this projekt. After that time she arrived at the Studio and they told her, that the Studio gave Jane Powell her part and she was deeply disappointed. "Jupiters Darling" (1954) was her last film for M-G-M. She never went back to the Studio again. Louis B. Mayer loves her as a Star, but Mr. Dore Schary (his follower) loves only the glamour.

@c3cubed

+Ralf Siebert Yes Ralf, very familiar with the MGM story (a serious historian myself in that department) ... I think it is a better show with Jane Powell anyway, as she was a bona fide singer. Esther Williams was a swimmer of course. Not sure if 'Athena' would have looked the same underwater, and the Magnolia trees Ms. Powell tended in her opening song wouldn't have blossomed either!

@esmeephillips5888

@@c3cubed Esther could carry a tune and phrase songs wittily, as she showed as early as 'Baby It's Cold Outside'. She was sore about Schary's bad faith over 'Athena' b/c she had helped devise the original story and planned it as a way of branching out beyond aquamusicals.

By walking out of MGM she knowingly forfeited a fortune in residuals. Under her studio contract all intellectual property belonged to it, so Esther could not take the 'Athena' story with her.
