There's a lot of good Rodgers and Hart material from that period. Maybe something out of one of those shows.

[Marcellus]

For an overview of Rodgers and Hart performed by celebrities still well known (and a few living, such as Rooney and Horne), try the movie WORDS AND MUSIC.

Some good Rodgers and Hart uptempo songs:

You Took Advantage of Me
I Wish I Were In Love Again
The Girlfriend
Johnny One Note
Zip
Jupiter Forbid
Everything I've Got
Mountain Greenery
Manhattan
Thou Swell
The Lady Is a Tramp
Our Little Den of Iniquity
I've Got Five Dollars
He and She
Sing for Your Supper

Some Good Gershwin uptempo songs:

I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise
Strike Up the Band
Fidgety Feet
Yankee Doodle Rhythm
Hangin' Around With You

We're Here Because
Where You Go, I Go
Fascinatin' Rhythm
I'd Rather Charleston
