"You're the Top" is a Cole Porter song from the 1934 musical Anything Goes. It is about a man and a woman who take turns complimenting each other. The best-selling version was Paul Whiteman's Victor single, which made the top five.
It was the most popular song from Anything Goes at the time, with hundreds of parodies.[1][2]
The lyrics are particularly notable because they offer a snapshot as to what was highly prized in the mid-1930s and demonstrate Porter's rhyming ability.[citation needed]
Some of the lyrics were re-written by P. G. Wodehouse for the British version of Anything Goes.
