Parody: Award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan sings “Too Marvelous For Words,“ a popular song written in 1937. (Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics for music composed by Richard Whiting.) Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra have sung this song, as well as Doris Day. As a backdrop to this song Dyan uses a public domain Betty Boop Cartoon, and this video is dedicated to her life-long friend, Pamela Hillan, because today is her birthday. Send this video to your friends when they have a birthday, and find out if they smile. And along with this video send them Penelope Dyan's book, “Happy Birthday! A Book About Birthdays, Dreams And Wishes“ (honored by being chosen by the UK Arts Council to be displayed in the Saison Poetry Library at on the fifth floor of the Royal Exhibit Hall, Southbank Centre, London.) This song is a parody because it has been made into a spoof on several levels. Dyan likes to use parody to teach, because it makes learning even more fun! (c)
