More Ironic Songs About Millionaires

Our Halloween Film Festival continued with something called SCREAM OF FEAR. Incidentally, a few minutes ago we caught a little of HIGH SOCIETY, which is not a Halloween movie. We saw Frank Sinatra and Celeste Holm singing an ironic song about how hard it is to be a millionaire (pictured), and I am prepared to say the "ironic millionaire song" is a thriving staple of the musical genre, based on that one other old movie I saw a couple of months ago where they were singing an ironic song about how hard it is to be a millionaire. One or two channels up, they were showing that awful Kenneth Branagh movie of Frankenstein, but we skipped that. Dr. Theresa, out of kindness to me, no longer does her deeply disturbing imitation of Helena Bonham Carter in the awful Kenneth Branagh Frankenstein movie. She threatened to do it tonight for old times' sake, but took pity and desisted when she saw me trembling like a kitten.
