Its upbeat melody and witty lyrics convey a message that in certain times and places, conventional rules can be bent or ignored in favor of enjoyment and spontaneous fun. Over the years, "Anything Goes" has become a jazz and Broadway classic, performed by many artists and associated with themes of liberation and embracing life's unpredictability.
