Irving Berlin's Best Song

Here's a performance of one of the songs featured in the version of Much Ado About Nothing I saw tonight (see previous post). It's from the great Astaire & Rogers film Top Hat, which actually has a number of plot points in common with the Shakespeare comedy (antagonism between the eventual lovers, mistaken identities, and probably some others that I could name if I spent a little more time thinking about it). I really think this is the best song Irving Berlin ever wrote, though I doubt I've heard them all (I wonder if anyone has?). The dancing is pretty good too...
