Joe, I love that Too Darn Hot song for so many reasons.

Ann Miller did for tap I think what Cyd Charisse did for ballet and modern dance, she provided the highest octane talent for the novelty number that appeared in some films of the day. And she was frequently in ensemble casts, not the lead, but not in the background either.
