January 16, 2026 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Anything Goes

The song of the day for Friday, January, 16, 2026, is “Anything Goes.”

About This Song

“Anything Goes” was written by Cole Porter in 1934. In Anything Goes, Cole Porter and book writers Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse created one of the great musical comedy characters of all time: Reno Sweeney, played by Ethel Merman in the original 1934 production. The score contains many of Porter’s most popular songs, including “I Get a Kick Out You,” “You’re The Top,” and “Blow, Gabriel, Blow.”

About This Version

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recorded “Anything Goes” in 2014 for their first album: Cheek To Cheek. Marion Evans wrote the arrangement.

“Anything Goes,” as well as Cheek To Cheek, is available on Apple Music.

We have a video Ethel Merman singing “Anything Goes” from the 1936 movie Anything Goes.

Miss Merman was born Queens 118 years ago on January 16, 1908.

We also have a live video of Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga singing “Anything Goes.”
