Musical #21

"And in the winter she'll shovel the ice
And lovingly set out the traps for the mice"

Update: The song It Takes a Woman occurs very early in Hello Dolly, and serves to set Horace's attitudes towards women that change as the movie progresses.

  • Hello Dolly! (sung by Walter Matthau-- in the video version I have.) "Oh yes, it takes a woman, a fragile woman.....a something, a something, a wife." That was always a weird song to me. Especially with the incorporation of the horse and all the unrefined things he wants his wife to do for him. I'm pretty sure that's the point of irony they're going for. Not a warm fuzzy lovey dovey song =)
