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 gold
Her lips are sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on the throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you, when she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs, she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she snows you
She knows you, she's got Bette Davis Eyes
