Not many songs have as varied a history as Singin in the Rain. It's up tempo music with lyrics full of hope would continue to be remembered throughout the 20th century and into the 21st.

Cliff Edwards would perform the song in the 1929 film musical The Hollywood Revue of 1929. This performance would be the opening of the film That's Entertainment a retrospective of MGM musicals. The song would again be used in the film Speak Easily starring Jimmy Durante and again by Judy Garland in the film Little Nellie Kellie.
The song was used in the second season of GLEE as a mash up with Umbrella. The song was sung by Mathew Morrison and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The song would go on to be recorded by Frank Sinatra, and as a duet by Danny Thomas and Doris Day. The song is about sexual intimacy both its good and its bad sides.

Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders
If I Had A Talking Picture of You
If I Had a Talking Picture of You was by Lew Brown, B.g. Desylva, Ray Henderson. This song was probably inspired by the introduction of talking movies in the 1929. It would later be song as a period song for Peter Davidson's title character of Campion in the BBC series.
Fats Waller
Ain't Misbehavin
Fats Waller was a composer and song writer that left a large library of great music that will live on forever after his much too short a life. Waller would be the first to record the song but he also performed the song in the 1943 film Stormy Weather. The song would go on to be recorded by such different artists as Johnny Ray and Bill Haley and The Comets. The song would also be the Title of a musical revue in 1978 that showcased the jazz songs on the period.
Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees
Marie
This song was written by the great Irving Berlin in 1929. It would go on to be recorded by such artists as The Mills Brothers and Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra. One reason this recording is particularly memorable is because it is the first time Rudy Vallee would make his mark on the charts. Vallee would go on to make quite an impression on American culture as many would enjoy his songs as well as his personal style. One of the big crazes he started was the full length raccoon coat.
Louis Armstrong
The Basin Street Blues
