Anything Goes – Cole Porter

Download Free Sheet Music

[download .pdf]

“Anything Goes ” is a popular song written by Cole Porter for his musical Anything Goes (1934). Many of the lyrics feature humorous (but dated) references to various figures of scandal and gossip in Depression-era high society. For example, one couplet refers to Sam Goldwyn’s notorious box-office failure Nana, which featured a star, Anna Sten, whose English was incomprehensible except to Goldwyn, who came from the same part of Europe. Other 1930s society references include film producer Max Gordon, socialite Evalyn Walsh McLean and her highly promoted trip to the Russian SFSR, interior design pioneer Lady Mendl ‘s scandalous predilection for performing hand stands and cartwheels in public at the age of 70, and the financial woes common to ” old money ” families during the Depression, such as the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers and Whitneys. Most modern versions omit these lyrics, replacing them instead with generic examples of social upheaval.

How to Learn The Piano Part

Not all piano teachers like the idea of training you only rock keyboard. Try and learn about as many traditional music when you can as perception of it will make you a more thorough and complete musician. Classical music can teach you so much about tempo, structure, phrasing and other important aspects.
