My mother was very musical. She played piano. I was very glad I taped her playing the piano playing this and other songs. I taped her in93. She passed in 2000. But I can see her whenever I want to. She was 84 when she passed.
@dorothycooper, “me 2” I remember even to this year 2024, 5’2” was the 1st song I ever learnt. 1959, Ukulele, Pearl Harbor, my mom was a piano player. 2nd song on the Uke “Over the Rainbow” by 1964 I’ll become a Nightclub band coordinator at the tender age of 17, but it all began because my mom was 5’2” 1964 the year my mom passes at age 46 from this life to her eternal destination. She was 5’2”… She never heard her son play nor sing professionally but 5’2” started my path, I have no regrets my last wife was 5’2”😳
What style of music is this? The question may seem dumb, but I am not American. I have just discovered this song reading short stories written by John Cheever.
I remember hearing this a youngster. Our Bluegrass band just decided to cover it for an upcoming old-folks home gig. It puts a smile on my face to hear it now.
@@evilneurodivergentclown: You love people’s history. . . Well, my father was a depression kid of course, and joined the Marines in 1938, at the age of 17. He said that he thought that he died and went to heaven because he got three square meals a day - all he could eat, a roof over his head, in a warm barracks, a nice bed, and hot showers everyday for as long as he pleased. He was also issued brand new shoes, and boots. These were the first new foot wear he had ever had. He was also issued more clothes than he had ever had had. The Marine Corps was tiny in those days, aandvalmost all Marines stayed in for at least 20 years, unlike today, where very few stay in fr more than four years. Therefore rank was very slow in coming. In fact, it wasn’t unusual for a Marine to stay in for 20 years, and retire as a Private First Class (PFC), meaning that he had only been promoted once in 20 years time. This is what is called the “Old Corps”. The Corps would never be the same again after WW2 began. By 1940, the Marine Corps was starting in expand in size, as war was on the horizen. With expansion of the Corps, new, more junior leaders were required, and thus my father made (was promoted to) PFC after only four years. Older Marines could only marvel at this accomplishment. By late 1940, British troops had occupied Iceland in order to ensure that the Germany did not get their hands on it. An Iceland in German hands would have been a British nightmare, however by early 1941, English was being so hard pressed by the Germans that they needed every soldier and Marine they had at home, and Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister) asked FDR (US President Franklin D. Roosevelt) for help. The US Armyvsimply had not trained combat troops at all to send to Iceland, or anywhere else, so FDR asked the Marines. The Marine Corps has always had a reputation for being always ready, and they were. Within weeks the 1st Marine Brigade wa organized, and on their way to Iceland. My father was one of them. He told me that it was so cold there that he slept each night wearing every piece of clothing he owned. In very late 1941 (Dec 7th), the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and suddenly Amerca was at war. The first Americans forces to experience ground combat, to die, and be captured by the brutal Japanese, were Marines, as for many many years they had been guarding American interest throughout the Pacfic, and Asia - in China, in the Philippines, on the island of Wake, and on the island of Guam, all of which some fell into Japanese hands after desperate battles. After the war began, all of the Iceland Marines (the 1st Marine Brigade) was immediately shipped to the Pacific, as unlike the other services, the Marine Crps had been planning for, and training for a war with Japan for almost a decade. They realized that such a war would require the capture of numerous Japanese islands by beach assault, and thus had been perfecting amphibious assault doctrine during this period. During the next four years after the war broke out, the Marine Corps expanded to fifteen times it’s previous size, and my father was promoted four more times, to the rank of Gunner Sergeant, in charge of his own artillery battery. Twenty years after the end of WW2, we were engaged in another blood war, in the jungles and rice fields f a country called Vietnam, thus immediately after graduation from high school, I answered my country’s call, and joined the Marines myself. Five months later, I found myself in ‘Nam as an 18 year old PFC, following in my father’s footsteps, where I learned, as my father had before me, and my grandfather before him that there is no prouder feeling in this world than to be a United States Marine. Now, Ivam an old man. In fact, I recently turned 72 years old, but the hair still stands up on the back of my neck when I hear the Marine Corps Hyme.
I haven’t heard this song in probably 30 years, but could still sing along. The funniest thing is, as a kid I thought they were singing “cootchie cootchie cootchie coo” instead if “could she...”! My mom was 5’2” with eyes of blue so this song has special memories.
You were right. It's 'cootchie cootchie cootchie coo' Was rather ... suggestive at the time. The line is 'could she love, could she woo, Cootchie coootchie cootchie coo, has anybody seen my gal?' Means she had round heels. Would find a guy and trip him, and fall under him.
My daddy was born in 1910 and my mama in 1916. Mother was 5'2" tall and I get my baby blues from her! 💙💙 This music was from their wonderful era. My 4 siblings and I were Baby Boomers born between 1949 and 1961. We grew up with this REAL and WONDERFUL music!!! 🎶💖 This makes me SO HAPPY to hear this! 😍🎹 I have a sheet music book entitled "Treasury of Best Loved Songs - 114 All-Time Family Favorites from Readers Digest." It was published in 1972 and includes this song. I have been wanting to build a UA-cam channel for two years and must finally do it this year! 😁 This will be the FIRST song I will play (and maybe sing) and I will dedicate it to my beloved mother! 💖💖 This song was written in 1925 by composer Ray Henderson. My mama was just 9 years old when he wrote this hit. Little wonder why she loved this song her entire life and was so happy when I played music of this era for her and dad. If any parents with young children are reading this, I suggest to give your dear children the Gift of Music with either piano (or other instrument) lessons and/or dancing or singing lessons!!! 🎶🎹🎻🎷💃🕺
My mom taught me this song on her guitar. A big old hollow body silver tone guitar. It was the first chords I pretty much learned. I was probably 7 or 8 years old. The guitar at that time seemed like it was as big as a cello. What a great memory.
I love this song. Reminds me of a resident from the assisted living facility where I used to work. She would dance along with it whenever anyone would sing it.
Me too one of my resident in memory care could sing this when I strum my ukulele. I miss her so much, she used to say I love you to me. Little sunshine play with the wind Rest In Peace with the Lord. Love you.
My son is special needs and he loves classic songs 🎵 like this one he first heard about it from the famous sitcom I Love Lucy episode Ricky loses his voice.
My grandma dedicated this song and played it for me on piano a couple months before she passed away and said it was her song for me cause I’m 5’2 with blue eyes
Aye rest in peace she sound like an amazing grand mother keep that’s in you heart forever and do the same for your children and your children’s children 😢!!!!
My husband sang this to me when he met me cause I’m 5’2 and have blue eyes, but he sings it differently. Five ftoot 2 , eyes of blue goochy,goochy, gooochy, gooo! has any body seen my gal?? When he sings it our two Pom’s run after him barking joyfully! And watching me the entire time because they know he will come and kiss mommy when he is finished singing and mommy will join him with a song then. I usually sing sugar sugar, because the dogs love that song and we each pick a dog up and dance with them in our arms. Spoiled dogs, what can I say! Lol our kids are all grown, so they are are babies now and know it. Their sisters from the same litter and very close. What one does the other follows suit. They love music and love when we pick them up and holding them dancing around a room . If one is left out the other will sit and whine until she is picked up too. As said spoiled babies! Well loved not missing anything in life including a meal! Tonight they are being shaved for the summer heat and one is hiding upstairs while her sister is getting shaved. We do all their grooming since we have had Pomeranians for 23 years now and it became too expensive to use professional services on multiple Poms so I took classes and my husband learned from me how to do it. We do a woman down the street who has a Pom also. She has no extra money for groomers, so she brings her little angel when she needs her 2:37 done and we’re happy to help. Why would we not? Angel was her mothers dog so she was not prepared for the extra expense of a Poms grooming and if we can help, especially for a Pom we definitely will. And angel definitely is an angel!!
Gen Zs. Age don't matter wen all genres of muzik sing 2 u. That's Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire dancing. They were the best of the best in their era. 1930ish
My mom used to play this on the piano, one of the many road house piano tunes she learned as a little girl being dragged to Canada and back to Indiana to keep the road houses and speakeasys supplied with hooch (yes, my family were rum runners).
Sorry, I mistakenly replied to another comment twice when I meant to respond to your question. The dancers are Betty Grable and Hermes Pan, dancing in the movie, "Footlight Serenade" (1942). Read more about Mr. Pan at this link on the Wikipedia.org website: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermes_Pan. Mr. Pan was a famous dancer and choreographer for Fred Astair, Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable, etc. and was very popular from back in the '30s through the '80s. He led an exciting life in the movie industry before he finally passed away in 1990. Hope you enjoy reading about him and his many films!
Wooow I absolutely love the 1920! And anything below 1970 so 60,50,40s ok I got some movies any of you peeps that like to watch old movies ok Parent trap 1950 miracle on 31st street 1940 or 1930 idk oh and it’s a wonderful life 1940 anyone watch those? Ok is this just me or were movie stars from 1920 to 1960 more pretty and handsome than movie stars today yes no?

Now if you run into a five-foot-two Covered with fur, Diamond rings, and all those things, Bet your life it isn't her, But could she love, could she woo, Could she, could she, could she coo! Has anybody seen my girl? Sounds to me like he was ripped off by Lewis & Young. Also the music was probably written by Percy Wenrich but 'borrowed' by Ray Henderson.😮
Five foot two, eyes of blue. Walks across your swimming poo. Has anybody seen my lord? He's so fine, he's divine. Changes water into wine. Has anybody seen my lord? Now if you run into a bearded jew in a white sheet, with a light bulb ion his head, leather sandals on his feet. He's so cool, He's the boss. Let us nail him to the cross. Has anybody seen my lord?
@@singalong2390 It's Hermes Pan who used to dance Ginger Rogers' part when choreographing dances with Fred Astaire. It's said they rehearsed on a closed set as Fred didn't want to be seen dancing with a man in his arms. Don't forget what Ginger said: "I danced every step Fred did but backwards and in stilettos!"
I always sang this song to and about an old girlfriend. The last time I saw her, she was “5 x 5 man alive, have you ever seen such thighs, I’m happy she is no longer my gal.”😂
I dance the Charleston to this song! “ five foot two, eyes of blue, goochie goochie goochie goo has anybody seen mai girls..... bla bla bla five foot yes foot WHAT ARE THOS!!!!! “
My mother was very musical. She played piano.
I was very glad I taped her playing the piano playing this and other songs. I taped her in93. She passed in 2000. But I can see her whenever I want to.
She was 84 when she passed.
you been blessed
She's watching over you from heven may she rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏

I just learned this song on ukulele. Gotta say i love it.
Remember this song being played at the American Legion in Belle Plaine, Iowa many years ago.
Played by Guy Lombardo's Orchestra with Kenny Gardner on lead vocal. An excellent old time band, popular for good reason for about 40 years.
My mom used to play this on the piano, one of the many road house piano tunes she learned as a little girl being dragged to Canada and back to Indiana to keep the road houses and speakeasys supplied with hooch (yes, my family were rum runners).
I keep wanting to break into Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone halfway through this song. Sounds remarkably similar at times.

Six foot four,
What a bore,
I can't reach you anymore,
Can anybody stretch my gal ?

You're so short,
Something I was always taught,
Find someone who's more your size.

The only time we measure up is lying in the bath.

We look funny down the mall,
Can anybody stretch my gal ?
Was that Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire dancing?
Yes..pretty sure it is..loved them as a kid, and watched them for hours on end, happy stuff...
Great Song and great dancer! Which movie ist this?
Five foot two🎶🎶🎶
Eyes of blue!

Who's the performer please?
MATT DAMON
Damn you, Rudy
My Uncle sang the song Michael road the boat ashore
Now you know why grandma has new knee’s and a hip
Sam Lewis and Joseph Young took credit for writing the lyrics in 1925 but Jack Mahoney wrote these words in 1914:
"Five foot two, eyes of blue,
But oh! what those five foot could do,

But could she love, could she woo,
Could she, could she, could she coo!
Has anybody seen my girl?

Also the music was probably written by Percy Wenrich but 'borrowed' by Ray Henderson.😮

Is that Fred and ginger?
This is real music old music like this up until the 90s is far better than anything modern
My mom would sing this to me. (I’m 5’2, eyes of blue. 😂)
Had to play this in school but nobody knew the title-
I wonder what movie the video is from.
Any 5’2 chick with blue eyes that would like to marry me? I can sing this song to you, I’m 5’4 😂🇨🇦 see you!
What are the names of the dancing couple? What film were they performing in? What year was the film made?
Someone else wrote "Footlight Serenade" (1942).
Are the second two Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire?
The woman, throughout, looks like Betty Grable.
Betty Grable, who was actually 5' 4". Unfortunately, I don't know who was dancing with her in this clip.
@@singalong2390 It's Hermes Pan who used to dance Ginger Rogers' part when choreographing dances with Fred Astaire. It's said they rehearsed on a closed set as Fred didn't want to be seen dancing with a man in his arms. Don't forget what Ginger said: "I danced every step Fred did but backwards and in stilettos!"
Yes , it is recognise Fred Aster (ooops spelling) and could well be Ginger Rodgers as they danced alot together (many years ago) loved them..
My partner likes to joke that this song is about me. I happen to be 5 foot two and have eyes of blue. No diamond rings yet ;-)
It's "Has Anybody Seen My Gal"; not "Five foot two, Eyes of Blue" 🤷
0.75 this one guys - makes her eyes seem even bluer.
