This music video is a great combination of fabulous vocals, dancing, humor & whimsy and has a wonderful beat to boot!

I wasn't familiar with Ilhama Gasimova so I looked online and discovered that she's a singer from Azerbaijani. Here's her site if you want to check it out: ~~~~~> Ilhama

The song was a huge hit for the Andrews Sisters in the 1940s and I think Ilhama does it a great job also.

I read once where at the time of its initial popularity, most people thought the words were "My mere bits of shame" and sang along with it with gusto! Ha ha ... we still do that with music ... think they're saying one thing only to find out we've inadvertently given it new lyrics!

I found various spellings but regardless it translates in Yiddish to "To Me You're Beautiful".

Laurel & Hardy need no introduction!

Enjoy!

I liked that. Great video too. Loved the way they incorporated Laurel and Hardy, it really worked well
