Not the Same Old Song - Part 86

You're the Top

You're the Top is a song by Cole Porter from the 1934 musical Anything Goes.  A number of different versions of the song have been recorded.  This recording is by Bing Crosby.

I don't think Cole Porter had any idea of what the lyrics "Baby, if I'm the bottom, you're the top" would mean today, as the terms top and bottom describing sexual roles only became common in the 1950s.  In any case, I couldn't resist illustrating this song.
