isn't

"Isn't It Romantic?" is a popular song and part of the Great American Songbook. The music was composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart. It has a 32-bar chorus in A–B–A–C form. Alec Wilder, in his book American Popular Song: The Great Innovators 1900–1950, calls it "a perfect song."It was introduced by Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald in the Paramount film Love Me Tonight (1932). It has since been recorded numerous times, with and without vocals, by many jazz and popular artists. The song has also since been featured in a number of other movies.
In Love Me Tonight, the song is used in a sequence in which it is first sung by Maurice Chevalier, a tailor, and then taken up by others (his customer, a cabby, a composer, a troop of soldiers, a band of gypsies) and is finally heard and sung by a princess, played by Jeanette MacDonald. The lyrics in the film are not the same as those in the published version. In 2004 this version finished at #73 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.
The title is often used in headlines in The New York Times, such as "The Recession. Isn't It Romantic?", "Italy: Isn't It Romantic?", and "In Madrid, Isn't It Romantic?".

    Hi lads, I have a tricky situation with a shut-off valve beside the toilet. Water is dripping from the pipe. No water is pouring into the cistern. I can tighten and untighten the nut but I can't twist the valve too much regardless of whether the nut is very tight or very loose. I can attach...

    No-one can work out why our heating isn't working!

    I am currently huddled by a fan heater. Our heating hasn't worked properly for over 3 weeks despite visits by 2 plumbers, a lot of beard-stroking and twiddling of valves. The T37HW-3 Zone Programmer seems to be working fine. The boiler fires up enthusiastically when the timer clicks in, and...

    Hi everyone. Me and my girlfriend recently moved house. We used the washing machine and realised there was a large 'leak' from somewhere.

    Persistent leak to washing machine inlet hose!

    Hi I'm completely new here! I'm being driven mad by an unfixable leak between the water valve and my washing machine inlet hose. I've replaced every bit that could affect it and I'm still getting a leak where the inlet hose screws onto the valve. I've tried PTFE tape which only slows down the...

    Fitting a shower screen if the bath isn't flush with the wall, lost cause?

    Hi! So we had a bathroom fitted and this happened (see picture). The bath was fitted in a corner that wasn't 90 degrees and this strip was added to fill the gap between bath and wall. Can we retrofit a shower screen here somehow or will anything just leak because the surface isn't level and...

    Slight dripping down toilet flush pipe?

    Just installed a new cistern. However, I've noticed that whilst disconnected from the pan there is a small, and possibly insignificant, drip coming out of the flush pipe. I've left it sometime with old rags inserted into the end which after a while become soaked through. From that I'm...
