Growing up in the household of children of the 40's, big band was the rock of the day...Ella was about the first female singer I ever heard. I love it!!! Got to give a big smile to Peter Boyle too!

There. I've said it. Do your worst.
Paco? I thought it was Taco. Anyway, I like all of the versions -- including the Young Frankenstein one. I guess that's the mark of a song you just can't ruin. (C'mon William Hung, give it a shot!) |

OMG!!!, YOU HORRIBLE PERSON...actually, I agree with you, but I think, pretty sure actually its Taco, unless we are thinking of different versions. |

Improved lyric: "Trying hard to look like Tommy Cooper"
"Just like that!" |

I love Ella's versatile, silky voice. However, I can't listen to this song without hearing Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle singing it... footstomps and guttural wails included!

No listener comments on this song yet.
Why not be the first?
Is there anything left to say about either Ella or this song, that hasn't already been said?
