I think we need some more Jimmy Durante. This song is deceptively simple. It's not even fully clear that Jimmy is even singing it, it's a kind of talking singing, but I feel that he really is singing. But does it even matter, it is so heartfelt and such a good example of the genius combination of words and music that it grasps you in your heart. I believe that philosophy, make someone happy and you'll be happy too (also deceptively simple). My favorite rhyme here is "Once you've found her, make your world around her". Delicious.
11: Song name: Make Someone Happy

Lyrics by Adolph Green and Betty Comden, Music by Jule Styne
