Down Argentine Way (song)
Down Argentine Way (also Down Argentina Way ) is a song by Harry Warren (music) and Mack Gordon (lyrics) that was released in 1940.
Warren and Gordon wrote Down Argentine Way for the musical Galopp ins Glück (1940, directed by Irving Cummings ), which starred Don Ameche and Betty Grable . In the film, the song is presented as a duo by Betty Grable and Don Ameche as well as by the dancing Nicholas Brothers ( Fayard and Harold Nicholas ). The song received an Oscar nomination for Best Song in 1941 . The first lines of the song are:
- You'll find your life will begin
- The very moment you're in Argentina
- If you're romantic senor
- Then you will surely adore Argentina.
Several cover versions of Down Argentine Way were recorded in the 1940s, including a. by Bob Crosby (Decca 3404), Gene Krupa ( Okeh 5814) and in Belgium in 1943 by Robert De Kers (Decca). Tom Lord lists five versions of the song after 1941.
