In Mad Men, Broadway Legend Robert Morse suddenly appears to Don as an apparition singing and dancing to this timeless song. The character he plays, Bert Cooper, has recently passed. When I first saw this scene, I was transported. As a child and young adult who worked in early advertising, and a follower of Robert Morse' career, this was a perfect goodbye: singing, dancing, vanishing. And leaving a message
The moon belongs to everyoneThe best things in life are free
The stars belong to everyone
They gleam there for you and for me
The flowers in spring, the robins that sing
The moonbeams that shine
They're yours, they're mine
And love can come to everyone
The best things in life are free
The best things in life are free
