We are back with the I Know That Melody Segment and today we compare two different Hotel Ritzes. One called Puttin on the Ritz and the second simply Hotel Ritz. We also discuss the multitude of versions. While Puttin on the Ritz was written by Irving Berlin, it was covered by Fred Astaire, Taco, Jonny Hepbir Quartet or Gene Wilder as Young Frankenstein. The Same Hotel Ritz was translated by Jiří Korn but later it was covered by his band 4 TET.
