The songs from High Society are SUCH a mixed bag.

Louis Armstrong makes everything he touches gold.

Frank's two ballads, "You're Sensational" and "Mind If I Make Love To You" are insufferably insipid, and frankly I don't know how the second got past the Hays Code.

"True Love" has an exquisitely delicious melody, but the lyrics are saccharine and meh.

"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" puts a grin on your face, and "Did You Ever" is unquestionably the show-stopper.

"Now You Have (Has?) Jazz" is an ACTUAL BOP and Bing is adorably fun but also impossibly square.
