The Place is in the Song.


Two carpenters, Sam Plank, and Harry Nail, set up in business together, sadly Harry Nail died and went to heaven. While he was up in heaven, Harry Nail won the lottery, and got the privelege to spend 24 hours of absolute freedom. Harry chose to use his 24 hours visiting his lifelong buddy, Sam Plank.

Sam was delighted to see his old buddy again. He explained to Harry that he'd acquired some considerable wealth, taking over a chain of discos. "Come on, to one of my Discos and we'll party down." Harry Nail got carried away. What with all the drinking and dancing.
He turned up at Heaven's Gate three hours late.

"Where you been?" Saint Peter roars. "You're three hours late! And where's your harp?" "Oh shit," Harry thinks, and then turns to Saint Peter and says: "I left my harp, in Sam Plank's disco..."
 

Written by Ira Gershwin with music composed by George Girshwin, the song was introduced by Fred Astaire in the 1937 film A Damsel in Distress, many singers have since performed it, with notable versions by Ella Fitzgerald other popular artists who have covered the song include Louis Armstrong, Judy Garland, and Shirley Bassey.
