This fence looks out on a horrible horrible parking lot.
The heading is the title of a song from MGM's "Ziegfeld Follies" (1946)
It's pretty rank but campily fascinating . When Kathryn Grayson was told she would sing it to close the film she went straight to Arthur Freed, the producer, threw the music on his desk and said, "This is a terrible song. It's vulgar, trite and sentimental. I refuse to sing it" Mr Freed calmly replied, "Miss Grayson, I wrote that song." There was a long pause before she picked up the music and said in a small voice, "Well you ought to be ashamed of yourself" and walked out. Of course, she sings it beautifully. tt
