Puttin' on the Ritz was written by Irving Berlin in 1929 and became a standard about dressing up in style. Mel Brooks reused it for Young Frankenstein in 1974, staging it as a theatrical act where Frederick Frankenstein presents his creation to a scientific audience. The routine starts polished, then falls apart when the Monster is startled and loses control. Clips of his singing have circulated for years in edits and reaction videos, kept alive by how recognizable the melody and that strained delivery remain.

The Monster growling Puttin' on the Ritz from Young Frankenstein, the classic tap dance scene used for fancy entrances and ironic glow ups online.
This clip captures Peter Boyle as the Monster in Young Frankenstein mumbling Puttin' on the Ritz in a deep, garbled growl during the famous stage performance. Dressed in a tuxedo and top hat beside Gene Wilder, he tries to sing and tap dance like a gentleman, and the contrast between the elegant song and his clumsy, monstrous delivery is what makes it so funny. The short burst works instantly as a punchline for sophistication gone wrong, with the strained vocals landing harder because he is clearly trying his best.
