This is what you get when you mix Julie Andrews' arrestingly-innocent elegance with 1920's snazzy ragtime! Dang -- that's irresistible!!!

[roberttelarket]

Every time I hear this fantastic song/jingle I start snapping my fingers and dancing in a crazy 1922 Charlestion fashion!

I auditioned for the musical the boy friend with this song and got the lead role!!!

Love all these scenes of Dame Jules in her famed roles as Cinderella, Eliza, Maria, Mary, Guinevere and of course, Millie. In an interview, she said she would give anything to again sing that high high note at end of "Do, Re, Mi" in SoM, with one hand on her head and the other stretched to the heavens. Julie had God-given gift of glorious musical voice. Not like the excrutiating belters we hear today.

Notice how you can understand what she's singing

[yvesdekerpoisson]

merveilleuse Julie!
grande dame, tu as bercé toute ma vie, with all my love!

I heard this fabulous song as a teen in the 1960s when the movie came out. This song should be mandatory listening to in every English speaking country every day of the year! So much trash today!

[douglassimpson]

The intro to this film is one of the best ever and i hate musicals!!

[roberttelarket]

Would Johann Sebastian Bach approve this song? Absolutely yes!!!

[absolutebuffoon]

There are those, I suppose
Think we're mad, heaven knows
The world has gone to rack and to ruin

What we think is chic
Unique
And quite adorable
They think is odd and "Sodom and Gomorrah"-ble!
But the fact is,

Everything today is thoroughly modern
Check your personality
Everything today makes yesterday slow
Better face reality
It's not insanity
Says Vanity Fair
In fact, it's stylish to
Raise your skirts and bob your hair

In a rumble seat the world is so cozy
If the boy is kissable
And that Tango dance they wouldn’t allow
Now is quite permissible
Goodby, good goodie girl I’m changing and how
So beat the drums cuz here comes
Thoroughly Modern Millie now

~Instrumental~

Everything today is thoroughly modern
Bands are gettin’ jazzier
Everything today is starting to go
Cars are gettin’ snazzier
Men say it’s criminal what women will do
What they’re forgetting is this is 1922

Have you seen the way they kiss in the movies
Isn't it delectable?
Painting lips and pencil lining your brow
Now is quite respectable
Good-bye, good goody girl
I'm changing and how
So beat the drums 'cause here comes
Thoroughly Modern Millie now

~Instrumental~

This must have been remastered. It sounds so much better than the original lp I used to have.

[roberttelarket]

Can you envision Charlie Chaplin walking with his cane in his inimitable way to this music! I can and it fits perfectly!

[labent]

An old movie I saw as a young girl...

[roberttelarket]

This theme song is supreme but many people especially young have not seen the movie which involves horrible White slavery in U.S. and worldwide(and makes it comical)!!!

[rylieturner]

I’ve never seen this movie before but I bet it’s funny though.
