Friday Music: Timeless Edition

Irving Berlin’s Let’s Face the Music and Dance?  Has yielded much.  How could it not?

There may be trouble ahead
But while there’s moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let’s face the music and dance

Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill
And while we still
Have the chance
Let’s face the music and dance

Ella Fitzgerald’s take:

And then, well, there’s Taco:

I love me some Ella.  And Taco?  Wish I could pull that off.  But my favorite?  Comes courtesy of Nat King Cole:

Still, I can’t help but thinking that there’s a sublimely perfect version out there, somewhere . . .
