BLUE SKIES by irving Berlin
On opening night of the 1926 musical Betsy, audiences demanded 24 encores of Blue Skies from star Belle Baker.

DO IT AGAIN! by George Gershwin

EVERYBODY STEP by Irving Berlin

EVERYBODY'S DOING IT NOW by Irving Berlin
According to his biographer Laurence Bergreen, "Everybody's Doing It Now" was Irving Berlin's attempt to exploit the early 20th Century dance craze in America by "writing a generic dance with a deceptively casual title". Berlin himself said, "It was an idea out of the air. I wanted a dance song; everybody was doing it. I just sat down and wrote the thing as it was." The idea worked, and the song became "the standard tune of the dance craze".

Featured in numerous films, TV shows and musicals, this song is a perennial favorite!
