Facts:

"Carioca" is a 1933 popular song composed by Vincent Youmans with lyrics by Edward Eliscu and Gus Kahn. It was introduced by Alice Gentle, Movita Castenada and Etta Moten and danced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in their first screen dance duet, as part of an extended production dance number with chorus illustrating the dance of the same name in the 1933 film Flying Down to Rio. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 7th Academy Awards. The credits of The Kentucky Fried Movie feature a comedy version of the song recorded by Jo Stafford and her husband, Paul Weston, recording under the names Jonathan and Darlene Edwards.

Song Lyrics:

Say, have you seen the Carioca?
It's not a foxtrot or a polka
It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs

It has a me...It has a meter that is tricky
A bit of wicky wacky-wicky
But when you dance it with a new love, there'll be true love in her eyes

You'll dream of the new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You'll dream of the new Carioca
When music and lights are gone and we're sayin' goodbye

Two heads together, they say are better than one
Two heads together, that's how the dance is begun
Two arms around you and lips- that's why I'm yours
and you are mine while the Carioca carries you away
Mine while the Carioca...'til the break of day
And you are mine

Now that you've done the Carioca
You'll never care to do the Polka
And then you'll realize the blue hula and bamboola are through

Tomorrow morning you'll discover
You're just a Carioca lover
And when you dance it with each new love, there'll be true love just for you

You'll dream of the new Carioca
Its theme is a kiss and a sigh
You'll dream of the new Carioca
When music and lights are gone and we're saying goodbye

Carioca! (Stavro Arrgolus)
