Fine and Dandy

"Fine and Dandy" is a popular song from the 1930 Broadway musical of the same name.

The music was written by Kay Swift, the lyrics by Paul James (a pseudonym of James Paul Warburg). The song was published in 1930.

The song was introduced in the musical of the same name in 1930, by the characters Joe Squibb and Nancy Ellis. It has since become a pop and jazz standard. A take-off using the same chord structure but a different melodic line was recorded by Woody Herman and called "Keen and Peachy".

New York weatherman Tex Antoine used this as his theme music for many years.

The tune was used by Art Metrano (as the Great Metrano) in his act, which consisted of an inept magician performing inane tricks while chanting the refrain over and over.

The arcade game Blueprint uses this song as one of the level soundtracks, starting with the first level.

The Newhart Season 4 episode "Will the Real Dick Loudon Please Shut Up?" ends with a quick song and dance performance.
