View Full Version : What is your favorite musical number/performance from ILL?
Ricardos4ever 03-19-2002, 07:32 PM I'll start.
Mine was from "Lucy Goes to Mexico", one of the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hours. It was performed by Ricky, Maurice Chevalier and Little Ricky. The end of the number was the best part, with Little Ricky and the little girls! It was the cutest thing I've ever seen! I can't remember the name of it.
If I had to pick one that featured Lucy, it would have to be Lucy and Ricky singing "Cuban Pete/Sally Sweet" during "The Diet". I love the singing and dancing -- it is a really cute song.
What are your favorites?
~LadyJess~ 03-19-2002, 09:22 PM I like when Ricky sings "We're Having A Baby, My Baby and Me," and when he sings the lyrics to the theme song. Those two songs are just so sweet and you can really see the love in both of their eyes when he sings those songs.

That's my fav. :)
cablejockey 03-20-2002, 10:58 AM I too always enjoyed the Having a Baby song, and always get a laugh out of Ethel Mae Potter's performance in her home town with Ricky Lucy and Fred trying to screw it up behind her back.
Joicetti 03-20-2002, 04:28 PM Yeah I would have to say the number from The Diet as well! On a related note, does anyone know what kind of padding, if any, they used on Lucy for that episode? I don't think I'd ever seen her flabby on that show, except perhaps when the show first started and her body was still recovering from the first pregnancy. Was she still "fat" from that in this episode, or did they pad her in some way?

Yeah i love the one with little ricky too!
Bewitchd36 03-25-2002, 06:35 PM The song that Little Ricky sings with the girls I believe is "Valentino." Yes, that is really cute. I absolutely love the entire "Lilly of the Valley" operetta. I also like the Japanese number Lucy does on the Lucy-Desie Comedy Hour episode "Lucy Goes to Japan."
lucyfan1983 03-29-2002, 11:10 AM I definitley agree with both the "Valentino" and the "Cuban Pete/Sally Sweet" numbers. Those are both my favorite too
QueenOfTheGypsies 03-30-2002, 12:22 PM I've been pondering this question for a long time, and I've decided that I can't pick just one. My favorites are the Cuban Pete/Sally Sweet song from "The Diet"; the umpire song from "Lucy Meets Bob Hope"; Ethel's performance (with Lucy, Ricky and Fred behind her) in "Ethel's Hometown;"and 'We're Having A Baby' from "Lucy Is Enciente."

I almost cry whenever I see it. :crying: :crying: :crying:
LucyFanForever 04-28-2002, 10:15 PM I LOVE Valentino too, and We're having a baby my baby and me. I also love that one indian number desi did.. i cant remember how to spell it.. and I love, We're building a bungalow. Oh gosh, I could go on for hours!! OH I cant forget Babalu!!! :)
DarleneIllyria 04-29-2002, 06:37 PM My favorite songs are mostly sung by Ricky. My parents think Desi can't sing, but I love Desi's singing so, go figure. :)

I'm really not into old music like that but I think Desi was very VERY talented. And I loved all of his songs!!!
Kristina 04-29-2002, 06:47 PM It wasn't a performance but I liked when they sang "California, Here I Come" in the car.
LucyFanForever 04-29-2002, 06:49 PM omgosh i forgot all of those!! I especially love Cuban Pete, and Friendship.. I have those songs both downloaded on my computer :)
Rockapella722 04-29-2002, 10:14 PM .::breaks into song and dances around::.
Oh bye, gee bye, gosh bye, gum bye...
Sorry. I had that song pop into my head at soccer practice today for NO reason at all. LOL. :lol: :happyface :lol: :happyface :lol: :happyface
Geoff 04-30-2002, 09:26 AM My favourite song performed on "I Love Lucy" is from the 44th episode titled, "Ricky Loses His Voice". Fred and Ethel singing "Carolina in the Morning" is just pure magic. This Walter Donaldson-Gus Kahn composition is a well known standard now, but was introuduced to the public by William Frawley in 1914.
This part's hard but watch the look on Desi Arnaz's face as Fred and Ethel pass him on the stage while singing. He cracks up at their antics and it is just a beautiful moment that happens too quick; blink and you'll miss it!
