"If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits, puttin' on the ritz."
I was my son's age (seven) when I first saw strange-looking men in tuxedos dancing like mannequins in Taco's "Puttin' on the Ritz" music video.
Originally written in 1929 by famous American composer Irving Berlin, Puttin' on the Ritz gives us insight of Harlem nightlife of the 20s.
In recognition of the era and the composer, Taco's 1983 version of Puttin' on the Ritz, incorporated other Berlin recordings. The music video also included Fred Astaire's tap-dancing sequence of Puttin' on the Ritz that was performed in the movie Blue Skies.
