CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

How can you tell I'm under a spell?
Gosh. Miss Truly Scrumptious is 90 years old today! Any excuse to play this wonderful number...
What do you see
You people gazing at me
You see a doll on a music box
That's wound by a key
How can you tell
I'm under a spell?
I'm waiting for love's first kiss
You cannot see
How much I long to be free
Turning around on this music box
That's wound by a key
Yearning
Yearning
While
I'm turning around and around
Love it.
Happy birthday, Miss Sally Ann Howes (born 20th July 1930).

Me too. Never mind Truly Scrumptious, however - it's The Child-Catcher who remains my ultimate role model... Jx
DeleteI don't think I've seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang all the way through in one go before. It lasts for days, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI do like this music box number, though.
I remember going to see it in the cinema, and yes, I think they had an interval (you're probably too young to remember that happening in the pictures)! Jx
DeleteVery sweet but I always preferred Anna Quayle as Baroness Bomburst
