This Cole Porter wit is obvious in the satirical Anything Goes (1934), considered an American classic.

Charles Cochran produced the stage comedy and at the opening of the musical Anything Goes, Ethel Merman sang the song Anything Goes for the very first time.

Mermans character Sweeney, a nightclub singer aboard the S.S.

American, is among a cast of Depression-era high and low society people engaged in Love Boat-craziness.

Porters delightful gossip and scandal rhymes spun around the melody, with each ranting passage concluding in the line anything goes.

The melody is jiving and successfully delivers the punchlines.

Porter was well-known for his vast contributions to the American musicals.

He made an operetta at 10 and published his first music at 11 years old.

Porter transferred to France and got married to fellow American Linda Lee Thomas (1919).

Upon his return to the US, Porter composed several musical pieces for hit comedies including Anything Goes, Red, Hot and Blue, Jubilee, Dubarry Was a Lady, Panama Hattie, Kiss Me, Kate, Can-Can, and Silk Stockings.

His catalog of music includes the hits Night and D, ay, Begin the Beguine, Ive Got You Under My Skin, I Love Paris, I Concentrate On You, and Just One of Those Things.
