Line 9:
It received major revivals on Broadway twice, first in the 1960s in a version that interpolated songs from a number of Porter's other shows, and again in the 1980s in a version that stayed closer to the original musical in terms of songs, although not necessarily in terms of script.

* [[Beta Couple]]: Evelyn and Reno
* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Eli, a fact exploited by Moonface
* [[Bowdlerize]]: The "Some get a kick from cocaine" section from the chorus is frequently either replaced with bowdlerized lyrics or chopped out of the song entirely, especially in high school productions (the "official" bowdlerization—changedbowdlerization -- changed for the movie due to the [[Hays Code]], and recorded by Frank Sinatra—isSinatra -- is "Some like the perfume in Spain", which fits the rest of the lyric about sniffing it).

* [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends]]: As is standard [[Romantic Comedy]] fare.
* [[Crowd Song]]: "Anything Goes," "Public Enemy Number One"
