Singin' in the Rain

Apparently, I must need some upbeat songs right now (see last post). And you can't get much more upbeat than Gene Kelly's rendition of Singin' in the Rain from the 1952 musical of the same name. Something I didn't know until doing some research for this song, is that a good majority of the songs in the movie, were reused from earlier shows and films...something that Broadway musicals used to do all the time, but you don't find it so much any more. So, in keeping with that spirit, I have included this clip from Shanghai Knights. You have to wait for it...but, Jackie Chan takes some of his moves from Kelly's puddle dance. I love it.
