Opposites

A comic duet from Skyscraper, the 1965 Broadway musical Cahn and Van Heusen based on the play Dream Girl. The show starred Julie Harris and Peter L. Marshall and ran for 248 performances — a modest but respectable run for the duo’s first Broadway outing together.

The song plays on the classic attraction-of-opposites dynamic, Cahn’s wordplay at its most playful and precise.
