This is an old Eddie Cantor song and a great one. the lyrics are meant to be silly and funny, but it's no surprise some people will trash it since it''s not politically. correctt. These same people. should. watch the movie Eddie sang it in, Roman Scandals. Eddie sings it in black face. :) .
Love the story behind her doing her own version of this song. She was recording the album "Diva" and whenever taking a break, she would be absent-mindedly singing this song. The producer finally asked her what she was singing and she told him about it being from the film "Roman Scandals" and how ridiculous and dated she found the lyrics, but love the song. He said, "Well then, let's record it!" She loved the irony of it, so they put it as a "hidden" track on "Diva".
"Keep Young and Beautiful" is the title of a song by Al Dubin (lyrics) and Harry Warren (music), performed by Eddie Cantor and a chorus in the 1933 film Roman Scandals. Annie Lennox recorded a cover of the song for her album "Diva" (1992).

at the time of the video, she's a middle aged person playing an older person who is trying to look young and beautiful. VERY avant garde.
