Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home

"Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home" is a popular song with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Johnny Mercer.

It was first introduced in 1946 in the musical St. Louis Woman. In the musical the song was sung by a female character of easy virtue, played by Ruby Hill, and the lyrics start out, "Free and easy". The score by Arlen provides a languid accompaniment, not dissimilar to that of "One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)", also by Arlen and Mercer.[1]

Barbra Streisand recorded the song for The Second Barbra Streisand Album in 1963. The song appeared on the album twice: first, as the individual song to open the album; then to close the album as a medley with "Like a Straw in the Wind".

gollark: Yes. Initially it's just a joke.
gollark: ... and?
gollark: I don't think anyone sells those.
gollark: I suppose technically that last point is more about DNS server provider than registrar, but these days they mostly come bundledish.
gollark: Anyway, I'd like opinionions:- *what* domain should I get?- what registrars are good? I want to be able to use automatic DNS validation for certs, as well as dynamic and quick IP updates, and also have reasonable prices.
