Never in a million years would I have known about this great track. . .RUclips is just amazing. . . all of this wonderful popular music that has been relegated to the popular culture junk heap decades ago now gets another chance with a new generation! I love it!
@HollyUpOnPoppy Thanks Holly. I wish I could add some new videos up here on RUclips but sadly my other computer died leaving all my music gone and biting dust. I am slowly (a little too slowly for my liking) restarting my collection and once I have enough I'll begin adding more tunes here. I am tickled that you like this kind of music (and XTC as well) and thanks so much for your kind words. EdgyC
ARTHUR, YOU SHOULD SMILE MORE Lyrics: Bob Atwood - Music: Dan Mason Ray Carter directing the Arthur Murray Orchestra and Chorus It's a clear night, And the stars above all seem to be competing for a prize - And we're dancing 'Neath the moonlight soft and yellow >From the balmy summer skies. It's an evening made in heaven just for lovers, And it's perfect otherwise - But Arthur, you should smile more; Arthur, you should smile more; Arthur, you should smile more; Smile for me, smile for me, just for me. Arthur, Arthur, why so glum? You look as though you lost your best chum. Arthur, Arthur, why so depressed? Come on, Arthur, get it off your chest. All around, dear, all the couples are so happy - Won't you grin once, just for me? When you frown, dear, You remind me of the Arthur who is often on TV. Even he smiles when it's Friday time And Kathryn makes this plaintive little plea: "Oh, Arthur, you should smile more; Arthur, you should smile more; Arthur, won't you smile more? Smile for me, smile for me, just for me."

ARTHUR, YOU SHOULD SMILE MORE
Lyrics: Bob Atwood - Music: Dan Mason
Ray Carter directing the Arthur Murray Orchestra and Chorus
It's a clear night,
And the stars above all seem to be competing for a prize -
And we're dancing
'Neath the moonlight soft and yellow
>From the balmy summer skies.
It's an evening made in heaven just for lovers,
And it's perfect otherwise -
But Arthur, you should smile more;
Arthur, you should smile more;
Arthur, you should smile more;
Smile for me, smile for me, just for me.
Arthur, Arthur, why so glum?
You look as though you lost your best chum.
Arthur, Arthur, why so depressed?
Come on, Arthur, get it off your chest.
All around, dear, all the couples are so happy -
Won't you grin once, just for me?
When you frown, dear,
You remind me of the Arthur who is often on TV.
Even he smiles when it's Friday time
And Kathryn makes this plaintive little plea:
"Oh, Arthur, you should smile more;
Arthur, you should smile more;
Arthur, won't you smile more?
Smile for me, smile for me, just for me."
