Songwriter and composer Frank Loesser, who wrote the musicals Guys & Dolls and How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, was born on this day in 1910. When Kip was in high school, he had a minor role in a production of How To Succeed…, that of Mr. Twimble, and sang this song. A friend of mine called one evening to tell me she had dropped out of college and guilted me into going to see it with her. I’m glad she did: Kip did a great job.
I love that show.

This is one movie I still have not seen! There are some gems I have always missed and this is one of them. I loved this tune and think the guy who works for 25 yrs is aok in my books. you don’t need to be a type A and always want to get ahead…why is that considered a success when working, never missing a day, doing your job well and enjoying it considered less?

One of my favorite musicals! Saw it on Broadway with Daniel Radcliffe and John Laroquette. But nothing beats the original.

It was. I sat up one night and watched the movie that clip was taken from.
