Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song "Blah, Blah, Blah" is a 1931 song with music by George Gershwin, to lyrics by his brother Ira Gershwin.[1] Originally written for the abortive East is West[2] it was taken "out of the trunk" by the Gershwins for the 1931 film Delicious.[3] It was later used in the 2012 Broadway musical Nice Work If You Can Get It, which features songs by George and Ira.
