    I love this song and musical.
    I shall strip to it one day.

    P.S. If you can tell me who originally starred as 'Charity' on Broadway, I'll love you until the end of time.

    P.P.S. If you can tell me who she's standing next to and what color dress she's wearing, I'll love you even more!

    That is right, and she's not in the scene.

    I mixed up Chita Rivera's character with Charity Hope Valentine (the musical's heroine).
    So Gwen isn't in the scene, but Chita is.

    If you can find Chita, you win!

    Not sure I understand what you're asking me? If you mean the person who originated Chita Rivera's character Nickie on Broadway then it was Helen Gallagher.

    If thats not what you were looking for then sorryyyyyy (I'm a little slow today)

    Well I know it was first sang by the amazing Peggy Lee, who totally rocked anything and everything she sang.

    I love this song. It's up there in my favourite songs of all time :slight_smile:

    Ooh I don't remember it on that. No doubt DFS were having yet another sale :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: (I swear these sofa places never don't have a sale on)

    They might have used Shirley Bassey's version... that was way more powerful than any others :slight_smile:

    It was actually a parody of it! *clears throat*

    The minute you walk in the joint (bom bom)
    DFS show you a range of great sofa's, for real small spenders
    new styles and great designs
    So if you haven't been to DFS then now is the time
    So let me get right to the point (bom bom)
    4 years free credit and the first years totally freeeee
    Hey small spenders
    Spend...a little time with me

    (Don't judge me as sad for knowing that, judge my fantastic memory :thumbsup:)
