***...and the famous comment about it never really being too hot to dance in conjunction with "Too Darn Hot."***

Sorry, I don't understand -- whose famous comment was that, and where is it found?

It's in the script, in the stage directions at the top of Act II. I don't have the script to refer to at the moment - but I can look up the exact quote when I get home. It was either put in there by Porter or the Spewacks.

So...a long stage direction description of what happens during "Too Darn Hot" culminates in the following...

"...At a certain point in the number, Bill comes out for a quiet smoke, tosses [the] cigarette away, and joins Paul and his two friends in a spirited jazz session into which the dancers throw themselves with Bacchanalian zest. We must assume that it's never too hot to dance."
