Lady Gaga by Steven Klein for "Cheek to Cheek"

[arizonaaaaaa]

Glee cast sings Cheek to Cheek, a collaborative album by Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett

I wasn’t going to do this one and Love For Sale as they don’t have any original songs, but I love Gaga a lot so here you go, also since these are essentially covers of the original versions I won’t have a lot to say unlike the other albums, enjoy

Anything Goes (originally from “Anything Goes”) sung by Harmony in “The Purple Piano Project”

-this was sung in a mash-up with Anything You Can Do from “Annie Get Your Gun”, this mash-up is incredible, better than the two originals, Harmony was probably the biggest waisted opportunity glee ever had, she’s in the same level of singer as Sunshine and Unique like, girl, take a breath

Cheek to Cheek (originally from “Top Hat”) sung by Sue and Will in “Puppet Master”

-I don’t have a lot to say about this song, the Tony-Gaga version is sweet and very happily, the glee version is also sweet but a lot calmer, we all know Matthew is a good singer but Jane Lynch rocks these slower songs, I also like the montage being all black and white, although Sue Sylvester wearing a dress is still cursed to me

Don’t Wait Too Long (originally by Madeleine Peyroux) sung by Santana Lopez in season 4

-this could be sung either on “Thanksgiving” since the songs covers autumn a lot or in that one episode where it’s snowing and they’re trapped in the apartment which name I don’t remember, this would simply be Santana singing about Brittany, and due to Santa Baby existing we know she can do jazz quite good, there’s also a lyric that reads: “So while my heart’s gay and foolish” and I couldn’t stop laughing

I Can't Give You Anything But Love (originally by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Field) sung by Blaine and Rachel

-this would be one of the anderberry siblings duets, the vibe of the song really fits the play in “Extraordinary Merry Christmas” but since it isn’t a festive song it could be sung any other time, I don’t remember if these two sung jazz before on the show but they are a powerful duo when it comes to singing so I’m sure they would do good

Nature Boy (originally by Eden Ahbez) sung by Rory Flanagan

-yay first Rory song in these posts, jazz and calmer songs are just his vibe, that’s why he was never included in the previous posts, next album is a country one, let’s see if he appears, anyway, the boy described in the song is just Rory, a boy who wandered land and sea, shy and sad in the eye, that’s my baby boy being described, I also love the flute in the song

Goody Goody (originally by Matty Malneck and Johnny Mercer) sung by Blaine Anderson with Santana Lopez

-this song is a little funny, Tony is the one who does the singing while Gaga just talks in the song, I can totally see Blaine singing this happily and catchy song with his doggy personality while Santana would be the one saying the snarky stuff with her wet cat personality, there’s also a line saying “I’m not a goody I’m a baddy” and it’s so cringe I want to hear Santana saying this

Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye (originally by Cole Porter) sung by Rachel Berry

-this song, unlike most of them , is a Gaga solo, she sings it so peacefully that it reminded me of Rachel’s version of “You are Woman, I Am Man”, which she sang very quietly and peacefully-like, the lyrics fit Rachel’s season 4-5 relationship with Finn, either missing him after their break-up in season 3 or in her denial stage of her grief

Firefly (originally by Cy Coleman) sung by Jane and Mason

-Rory and season 6 newbies on GleeXGaga? Didn’t see that coming. This would be just a silly little duet between the two, both have very strong voices so I don’t think this would be all too hard for them, in fact, I think Mason would kill this song, Jane wouldn’t be too far behind, I’m just not sure if she can sing jazz

I Won’t Dance (originally by Jerome Kern) sung by Mike and Tina in season 3

-this is peak Tike, Mike’s raspy voice would do Tony’s parts well, and Gaga’s parts surprisingly fits Tina’s range, I can totally see them tap dancing around the choir room, out of all couples I think they’re the ones who deserved more duets and singing in general, I mean, it wasn’t until this season that Mike sung in more than 5 songs

They All Laughed (originally from “Shall We Dance”) sung by Matt and Mike

-oh that’s a stretch, so, Matt Rutherford, a character that never sung in the show, why do I see him and Mike singing this? Well, first, there are videos of Dijon singing and he sounds decent enough to deserve a song on the show, second, even tho the song is a romantic duet I can see something similar to “These Boots are Made for Walkin’” from the glee project, where a song with a specific meaning got turned into a dumb-duo song, that’s what I’m going for

Lush Life (originally by Billy Strayhorn) sung by Quinn Fabray in season 1

-Quinn is a very complex character with several different layers, I think her sadness wasn’t really explored in the show, not in a serious way at least, another thing that wasn’t explored was her loneliness, especially during season 1, sure she was popular and I guess Santana and Brittany were her friends but that girl was lonely, not until Mercedes and her became besties

Sophisticated Lady (originally by Duke Ellington) sung by Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman in season 1

-now that I’m thinking about it, Sophisticated Lady kind of goes along with Lush Life, deep inside, Puck was the one that truly knew Quinn, he loved her and always respected her, the song is kind of a POV of a secret admirer seeing his beloved from afar, knowing how she is sad and lonely, but due to respect for her, won’t come near, in Puck’s case, Quinn is expecting his kid, but he respects her and agrees with her lying about the pregnancy, even tho he wants to be present

Let's Face the Music and Dance (originally from “Follow the Fleet”) sung by Holly and Will

-this duo is fire, I already knew Matthew was a terrific singer who could play with melodies and such, but Gwyneth was a surprise, after their tango rendition of Kiss I stopped expecting anything, I knew they would surprise me, well, the surprise never happened, but perhaps this could be it, I really like Holly’s character and I wouldn’t mind if she was a co-coach to the New Directions, definitely more duets from these two would appear

But Beautiful (originally by Jimmy Van Heusen) sung by Adam, Brody, Kurt and Rachel in season 4

-I don’t have a lot to say on this one, Brochel’s duets were always above average for me, Brody has a very good range that I would like to see more of, Adam really only sang once, and his relationship with Kurt was very insignificant, so perhaps a double duet between these 4 would make me care for him

It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) (originally by Duke Ellington) sung by Ryder and Unique

-Rynique my babes, what would I give to see a relationship between you two, I’m fine with a second duet tho, Unique would kill this song so hard I don’t think I would recover, Ryder could be a hit or miss tho, he has a very raspy voice that could do good here, but it’s kind of hard to be good when Unique next to you, it’s not really balanced

Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) (originally by Cher) sung by Rachel Berry in season 1

-this would be her singing about her relationship with Jesse, how he used her and ended up breaking her heart, as if he (babe) had shot her down and left her to die

On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever) (originally from “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever”) sung by Will Schuester

-this wouldn’t have any secret meaning beneath the lyrics, it would be just Mr Schue happily singing a song as old as time, maybe this could be a song where Sue would appear and just tell him he sucks or something

Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (originally from “Pal Joey”) sung by Mercedes Jones

-this could be either Mercedes singing about one lovely simp Sam Evans or the stud Noah Puckerman everyone says it’s using her but she knows he ain’t, she’s in love either way

The Lady's in Love with You (originally by Burton Lane) sung by Sebastian Smythe with the Warblers

-this would be simply one of those performances the warblers do whenever Blaine decides to go over there, it would be charming and somewhat endearing but nothing all to special, damn these last songs sure are hard to write about

The Lady is a Tramp (originally from “Babes in Arms”) sung by Mercedes and Puck in “Laryngitis”

-this duet is so underrated, this isn’t Mercedes best song I’ll admit but Puck sounds terrific, top 3 best songs for him, who would guess the bad boy punk-ish boy with the mohawk would be so good singing jazz

And that’s another wrap, it was a little harder thinking about characters and situations where all of this could happen but I ended up liking it a lot, next one we will go back to the standard albums with Joanne ;)

It’s like they’re floating on air.

The greatest of all time - Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - dancing to and singing “Cheek to Cheek” in Top Hot (1935). 

"Cheek to Cheek" was written by Irving Berlin in 1934–35, specifically for Fred Astaire. It was nominated for the Best Song Oscar for 1936, spent five weeks at #1 on Your Hit Parade and was named the #1 song of 1935. Astaire's 1935 recording with the Leo Reisman Orchestra was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000. In 2004, Astaire's version finished at No. 15 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.

Hey :)

So, I was wondering... is your fic Cheek to Cheek inspired by Caro Emerald's 'A Night Like This'? Because there is this line in the lyrics 'Stuff's happening when you are cheek to cheek', and I was always curious. We started practising this song recently in my accordion orchestra and was reminded of the fact I have wanted to ask you this for a while now.

So, was your fic inspired by this song?

It was not. “Cheek to Cheek” was inspired by the song of the same name, written by Irving Berlin, for Fred Astaire to sing to Ginger Rogers in the film Top Hat, which premiered in 1935. However, I am now going to go find the song you mentioned and have a listen. Many thanks for the ask. Eventually, when I finish that story, Astaire’s song will make an appearance, but you know, that could be a few years from now at the pace I write these days…

Here was the original version:

Vocally, I really enjoy this version, which Fred recorded many years later (song 4 on this album):
