Saturday Music from Groucho

THE FUTURIST! is about to go on another respite from his daily toils ... another week of vacation. Even with the glimpse of freedom approximately 8 hours away or so, THE FUTURIST! still feels prickly and full of anarchy. In the spirit of such spirit, THE FUTURIST! offers up this Saturday's music selection ... a musical number from the great comedy HORSE FEATHERS featuring The Marx Brothers. This one has always been a THE FUTURIST! favorite due to the fact that there is no romantic subplot with several artificially sweet music numbers. This film is pure zaniness that is 2nd in delight to their classic DUCK SOUP. THE FUTURIST! , also, loves the point of plot that has Zeppo as the son of Groucho when Zeppo was actually, in reality, his younger brother.

Listen:


WHATEVER IT IS, I'M AGAINST IT
and I ALWAYS GET MY MAN
written by Harry Ruby and Bert Kalmar
performed by Groucho Marx
(with help from Zeppo Marx and Chorus)
from the film
HORSE FEATHERS (1932)

Yes, it is strange that they play father and son! Good choice. It's a catchy number.

Enjoy your respite!
