A Song To Say "I Love You"
Cole Porter's song, 'You're The Top' is a paean of an earlier age, where things both great and small were appreciated as the best of their kind and given a certain amount of respect - a melody from a symphony by Strauss, the smile on the Mona Lisa, the time of a derby winner, even cellophane or a turkey dinner. The singer of these cunning lyrics constantly exalts the listener to the heights of these great objects, while setting himself in opposition as the bottom to the top.
'You're the Top' expresses these feelings of worthlessness we have toward the ones we really love and attempts to reward them with the appreciation they deserve. It is a song known to all, loved by many, and perfectly suited to the hip, elegant design and photographs in this gift-sized book.
