"I Get a Kick out of You" is a song by Cole Porter, which was first sung in the 1934 Broadway musical ''Anything Goes'', and then in the 1936 film version. Originally sung by Ethel Merman, it has been covered by dozens of prominent performers, including Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. ==Alterations to the song== The lyrics were first altered shortly after being written. The last verse originally went as follows: : ''I get no kick in a plane'' : ''I shouldn't care for those nights in the air'' : ''That the fair Mrs. Lindbergh goes through'' : ''But I get a kick out of you.'' After the 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping,〔''Cole''. Robert Kimball, ed. and Brendan Gill. New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1973. p. 122.〕 Porter changed the second and third lines to: : ''Flying too high with some guy in the sky'' : ''Is my idea of nothing to do'' In the 1936 movie version, alternative lyrics in the second verse were provided to replace a reference to the drug cocaine, which was not allowed by Hollywood's Production Code of 1934. The original verse goes as follows: : ''Some get a kick from cocaine'' : ''I'm sure that if'' : ''I took even one sniff'' : ''That would bore me terrif'' : ''ically, too'' : ''Yet, I get a kick out of you'' Porter changed the first line to: : ''Some like the perfume in Spain'' Sinatra recorded both pre-Code and post-Code versions (with and without the cocaine reference): the first in 1953〔Frank Sinatra. ''The Best of the Capitol Years'', Capitol Records, 1992. This compilation has the "cocaine" lyric.〕 and the second in 1962. On a recording live in Paris in 1962, Sinatra sings the altered version with the first line as ''Some like the perfume from Spain''. Other Porter-approved substitutions include "whiff of Guerlain." There is also a version with ''Some like the bop-type refrain'' on Sinatra and Swingin' Brass. All three of the above alternatives are mentioned in the liner notes to Joan Morris and William Bolcom's CD, ''Night and Day''; on the recording, Morris sings the original second verse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Get a Kick Out of You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
