How to Date... the 1949 Edition

•
Your guide to dating, including this gem:

"Hey Ann? Whatcha doing Saturday night?"
"Well, I guess I'm busy."
"Oh, yeah? Any chance of giving him the push-off for me?"
"Well, of all the nerve!!!"

I also enjoy that our hero, Woody, is wearing a sport coat to go the "Hi-Teen Carnival."

I'm in my mid-twenties and I've always been a big fan of these films and many other older films. They're hokey and funny but very educational at the same time. My friend (another film buff) and I were watching a program about restoring and saving old educational films and a clip another one of these dating ones was included. It brought about a dicussion about how teen "dating" had changed so much since the 40's and 50's and we were wondering why everyone in our school was "going steady" and had to be in what were way too serious of relationships, instead of just "going to the sockhop with Brad on Friday and the drive-in with David on Saturday." It always baffled us how it changed so much and someone couldn't just "go out on a date" without something more serious being implied.

Wikipedia said this: "It is argued that this song is the single most performed and most translated piece of music on Earth"

I have never heard that song before. Ever.

I, too, was trapped on this ride for about 45 minutes when I was a very young teen. The repetitive music quickly becomes a form of torture that has been recognized and banned under the Geneva Conventions, and the creepy, dirty, cracked and peeling animatronic dolls were frightening.
I refused to go on this ride ever since.

It's lovely! How can you hate on ''It's a Small World"? Dude. I saw it with my folks when I was a child and I STILL remember it. It's sweet. Sweet is fine, you know. Kids like sweet. So do many adults.

Children's Choirs. Uuuugh. I, however,like it's a small world. I like to drive my husband crazy with it, but he is always amazed that I know all the words. It really is a short song...

I can understand people not liking bagpipes, accordions, banjos, or synthesizers, even though I'm quite a bagpipe fan. But harps? The harp has such a beautiful sound!
