Let me live ‘neath your spell

The first musical Cole Porter and Herbert Fields wrote together was 1929’s Fifty Million Frenchmen, whose title alludes to a 1927 song not actually used in the show. The most memorable song it does use is Porter’s “You Do Something to Me”, in which the two main characters confess their mutual beguilement. Among the song’s many covers, I’m personally fond of Sinéad O’Connor’s, which my spouse and I danced to on our wedding day. Song and show go public domain in 10 days.
