You're the Top
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You're The Top is a Cole Porter song from the 1934 musical Anything Goes. It is about a man and a woman who take turns complimenting each other.
The lyrics are particularly significant because they offer a snapshot as to what was highly prized in the mid-1930's, and demonstrate Porter's rhyming ability.
The song was covered by Barbra Streisand for the 1972 film What's Up, Doc?.
