ann miller
"too darn hot" is a song written by cole porter for his musical "kiss me, kate" (1948). in the stage version, it is sung at the start of act 2, and in the 1948 original broadway production, it was sung by lorenzo fuller (as paul) and eddie sledge and fred davis (as the specialty dancers), leading the full company. in the 1953 mgm hollywood film version, it is moved to a much earlier point, and it is sung by ann miller (as lois lane, fred's new girlfriend, who is cast as bianca). the song does not contribute to the plot in either the stage or film versions (according to general opinion); in the stage version, the song represents the company of "the taming of the shrew" taking a break offstage during the intermission of their play; in the film version it allowed the audience to see lois's fun-loving, risk-taking nature, and gave ann miller a chance to show off her dancing skills, specifically tap. the line 'according to the kinsey report' (in the original stage production) was changed in the film version to 'according to the latest report'. the song has also been covered by many artists.
