1a canzone al giorno

Gli occhi di Bette Davis


Oggi uno One Shot. La canzone del giorno ce l'avevo in una delle cassette estive comprate al mercato di Scandicci anche se era una di quelle che mi piacevano meno. Si intitola "Bette Davis eyes" e l'ha cantata nel 1981 Kim Carnes pubblicandola nell'album "Mistaken identity". L'hanno ripassata ieri con un aneddoto a Radio Capital. Pare che Bette Davis fosse una stracciapalle da paura. Bravissima da far sì che i registi la volessero ma odiata dai colleghi e anche dagli stessi registi. Quando Kim incise la canzone Bette aveva più di 70 anni e non lavorava più. Volle contattarla per ringraziarla di averla introdotta nell'era moderna lasciando traccia con la canzone. Buon ascolto e buona giornata. A domani!!Bette Davis eyes (Kim Carnes)Her hair is Harlow goldHer lips are sweet surpriseHer hands are never coldShe's got Bette Davis eyesShe'll turn the music on youYou won't have to think twiceShe's pure as New York snowShe got Bette Davis eyesAnd she'll tease you, she'll unease youAll the better just to please youShe's precocious, and she knows just what itTakes to make a pro blushShe got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyesShe'll let you take her homeIt whets her appetiteShe'll lay you on the throneShe got Bette Davis eyesShe'll take a tumble on youRoll you like you were diceUntil you come out blueShe's got Bette Davis eyesShe'll expose you, when she snows youOff your feet with the crumbs, she throws youShe's ferocious and she knows just what itTakes to make a pro blushAll the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyesAnd she'll tease you, she'll unease youAll the better just to please youShe's precocious, and she knows just what itTakes to make a pro blushAll the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyesShe'll tease youShe'll unease youJust to please youShe's got Bette Davis eyesShe'll expose youWhen she snows youShe knows you, she's got Bette Davis Eyes
