I get a kick out of something - English idiom and song


I get a kick out of something is an English idiom used to say that you enjoy something very much, that you have fun doing something.
For example: I get a kick out of playing cards.
“I get a kick out of you” is also the title of a song written by Cole Porter in 1934, originally sung by Ethel Merman. It was covered by performers including Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.
Here’s the video of the song in a live performance by Frank Sinatra.
Enjoy listening to it and trying to understand its words and its meaning….try to get a kick out of listening to a master at work!
