"I Get A Kick Out Of You" by Cole Porter.
Performed by Ethel Merman in the 1936 Paramount film, "Anything Goes".
Ethel Merman plays Reno Sweeney, who sings her song of unrequited love to Billy Crocker (Bing Crosby), whose eye is concurrently and ironically caught by Hope Harcourt (Ida Lupino).
"Anything Goes" was one of the only two films in which Ethel Merman reprised her Broadway role, the other being "Call Me Madam" (1953). Merman left the Broadway production in 1935 to work on the film.
Paramount had to censor the lyrics "Some get a kick from cocaine" to "Some like that perfume from Spain".
