Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes

[paullytigereyeroot55]

one of my former girlfriends used to sing this song to me about her! loved that girl.

[heey094]

This song would suck so bad if the voice wouldn't be a such hoarse voice that only she can make so good.

[2383sa]

Meu Deus, eu tenho esse LP......

[sixtodecimo]

girl rubi!

[semkobenko]

Mrs. Mcgilvery?

[SuperHowie1963]

old ones are the best

[2jeremyable]

thing of it

[carloss1960]

I used to think this was Rod Stewart for the longest time. I was very surprised to find out it was sung by a woman. I think Rod would have done a good job but this woman's voice is beautiful.

[jensonbond]

@carloss1960 I thought this too for soooooo long. Glad I wasn't the only one! :)

[FunWithFlipCam]

@carloss1960 They used to call her a 'female Rod Stewart'. Bonnie Tyler used to get the same description...

[GeckoLadie]

Oh, A, you rock my world. And this song practically describes you. Ahhh...

[rbain007]

Bette Davis is one of my least favorite actresses but this song is amazing!!!

[its5oclocksmw]

wonderful voice, similiar to Rod Stewart's

[CantUHearMeKnockin59]

timeless!

[verweejerome]

[mrgruffy100]

Still sounds greattttt.......

[artsylovelylady]

This song was magical to me.

[Upfrontrocker]

Always a heartbreaker...

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

All these years. I thought it was Bette Davis thighs.

[badger1actual]

@LiquorWreckedEmGood

I feel your pain. I thought the song about fat bottom girls, was "flat bottom girls".

[AimeeBlamey]

i love this song so much!

[DianaNevess]

This song always puts me in a good mood!

BEST SONG TO DRIVE AND HER THAT SONG

[kbf1978]

Springtime 1981. All of you olderfolks remember coming out of yet another nasty cold winter in the north. This song comes on the radio and all of a sudden you think every thing is OK! I will be alright. As long as there is music like this, nothing can keep me down. This is what this song reminds me of.

[blackdiamond8]

I first heard this as a young boy of 7, couldn't understand English yet; but by the way these new sounds had mesmerized me, I knew that the magic of America had just begun...

[sallynearly]

Yes - that top girl said it 100% right - remember this song from the 80's too .. the best - in my view. I was 'Bette Davis' when she sang it (funny now) of course ... very sweet memories. Always remind myself of this song as i get older .... a song that hold's time ... no mean feat. ! Just so pleased that someone else realises it too. LOL. ! Sally Xx ( You just cannot beat a good tune or voice - what do you think KC is doing now. ? - just wondering .. UK .. i assume she is a yanky. ?!)

[dlgrim0621]

Hi! This takes Me back too. Terrific song! This was around the time I had a big crush on Stevie Nicks,when Fleetwood Mac Was doing Tusk. Ihave had all kinds of krazy dreams,in dream world everyone wanted Reba Mcentire Eyes. I thought that was funny but neat. Anyway keep singing,enjoyed the song lots. Love Dan

[azulbrital1967]

[JayPoppy7]

taylor swifts version is way better and its also live

[SWEETA1971]

@JayPoppy7 BULLSHYT!

[OhSerenaXx107]

@JayPoppy7 I just heard Taylor's version the other day. I heard another cover by Leighton Meester a while back which I like better than this version as well.

[Happy70s]

Very sweet memories...Sexiest female voice in the world!

[bobjckjr]

She was always a turn on for me then she came out with this and sent me to the moon

[craiga822]

I love the rasp in her voice very so sexy. Not just the voice but the song is excellent as well.

[taraskye81]

Number 1 song the year I was born. I just had to look it up! Awesome!! Kim's voice sets a great tone, Those sultry, raspy voices are coming back.

[niwrad68]

Kim carnes must of had a daughter?Check out Ilse DeLange:}

[PinkFloydFan74]

She's got Bette Davis Eyes....well she better give them back or that's grave robbing :) J/K fantastic song x

[PinkFloydFan74]

She's got Bette Davies eyes.....well Kim Carnes she better put them back....that's grave robbing. J/K fantastic song.

[Contakum]

This song ........Kim Carnes you are something very special.

[christiemax]

com play wiht the iguana

[christiemax]

[SleepWhenIamDead]

...the greatest song of the 80s....hands down...MJ kiss my ass...Kim rules...

[vladimirja1]

And not a single Bette's eye in the whole bloody video...

[wearyoldman]

@vladimirja1 Thank God for that! Love the song... love Kim Carnes, but Bette Davis eyes? No thanks.

[dinkeldal]

die toetsen... doen het voor mij !

[spazmeer]

I was born the day this song was #1 haha...July 1981.

[SnowDavila]

Now I'm born in 1994, meaning I'm 17 at this time, but I have to admit. Anyone born around the 70s or before. I'm really jealous of you, simply because you could hear this kind of brilliant music.

God, what I'd do to be at a live concert @ Kim Carnes.

[TheANDRIOVICH]

Sensacional música!! Lembranças maravilhosas dos anos 1980!!!

[dreamthroughmusic143]

taylor swift brought me here! :)

[TeemuMan1]

This is piece of 2011 music!!

[yoadann]

שיר גדול

[Piccolo7126]

Bette Davis was hot. She should have gotten number 1 greatest actress on AFI's mess of a list.

[LitiviousSpartus]

Damn her voice is hott !

[Dronelord27]

I don't take kindly to people taking tumbles on me, or rolling me like I were dice for that matter,that kind of behavior makes me come up blue, regardless of whom their eyes may or may not resemble.

[maskedavenger777]

@Dronelord27 Never let a club foot stop you from finding better.

[panhead58ful]

[MrCatseyes01]

absolute class ,,thats why no matter how hard the plastic fanastics of the 21st century try ... they will never in a million years be able to beat the musical genius of the 80sand 90 s ..proper music

[MrShield222]

Great song And she's hot

[elvispresley718]

once again i dont like synth pop too musch im a rocker but this is a great song

[darlinkula1]

In Bette Davis' book,"This N That" she wrote that while making her last film she contacted Kim Carnes to thank her for this song and to request concert T-shirts to give to the cast and crew.

[thecarebearhideaway]

Ok Now! This song is just totally awesome beyond magical proportions! Kim Carnes has such a sexy, sultry voice that just really makes this song! Wowie! What a song to come out in the 80's! It was a hit right from the start! I have so many memories of sitting out on my back porch with this song blasting on the speakers and the sun going down behind the trees. What a feeling that was then. It was just magical. You just cant find that feeling today. I miss that time so much but the memories remain.

[fred1671]

@thecarebearhideaway Oh, yeah... some of us definitely remember those days - just like it was yesterday! Great post!

[thecarebearhideaway]

@fred1671 Thanks so much! :-) Glad you have some great memories of the 80's too! Long live the 80's ! :-D

[J1405J]

@thecarebearhideaway YES :-))))

[thecarebearhideaway]

@J1405J Thanks so much! :-D

[HolyMith]

New York snow is pure?

[adambrojer]

Who the F disliked this song?!?!?!?!?

[MPL029]

A product of her time..the 80's..love it@



[paulmattt]

Why are we so old now...

[fred1671]

@paulmattt It's all a state of mind... as long as you don't mind getting old. Ha! Besides, some of us that were during this era are still in our 30's. Well, at least for another year or so!

[Superman080559]

I love this song. I love her voice so much, it melts my heart and captivates my soul. Kim is not hard to look at either, very easy on the eyes. I'm still in love with her and always will be.

[Hot100daze1976to1997]

This song - Bette Davis Eyes - By Kim Carnes peaked at # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for 9 week on 05-16-1981 and finished the year End Top 100 Chart at # 1

[Barnum5150]

For the longest time I thought this was Rod Stewart. Then I realized it was a woman. ;)

[emt1605]

@Barnum5150 Well you know...noone has ever seen then in the same room at the same time....HHHMMMMMM

[turntableone]

Isn't this like the Grammy Song of the Year for 1981? 

[TheVisser1969]

EVERGREEN

[lolwoky]

great song



[kentamitchell]

Truestory: when BDE came out, the real Bette Davis sent a nice letter to Kim Carnes; Kim Carnes wrote back- and they stayed friends til Bette Davis died.

[etvb1]

Amazing voice and song!!

[odannon]

7UP !

A Cold SEVEN UP Soda with ICE

AMazing Song...Fressshhhh Soud 

[mosquitobight]

It doesn't matter if Kim's version is a remake of an older version. The Eighties version of anything is automatically the best version of it ever.

[dadof566]

@mosquitobight Damn right!!!

[tryithere]

@mosquitobight Unless you died in the 70's.

[buenosaires4u]

@mosquitobight Sure, the eighties haven't too much of their own to show up. Just versions. I go for the oldies rather than copies of it.

[buenosaires4u]

@mosquitobight Kim Carnes is a superb singer.Sadly a synth in the background IMO spoils a bit the track. Too much fatness in the result. I prefer the sound purity of Kim's voice.

[bboytracks]

@buenosaires4u What are talking about? The Prophet 5 synth line made this track!

[dmarti6835]

love it!! love Kim Carnes.......

[themoshmenace]

Another song whacked at the end.

[whatsupyou100]

Omg I love this song I no it's not the original but I think it is the best and beats Taylor Swifts by a mile XD

[themoshmenace]

The voice you people hear singing this song is Kim Carnes. Taylor Swift is nowhere mentioned in the song nor heard singing it here. So why the hell are most of the comments here about Swift? I'm surprised most of you people got to this video without first hearing the song in a movie.

Pinheads.

[tundra12555]

@themoshmenace I'm with you on that! what the fuck is with the taylor swift comment. If you do want to compare between the two, there's is no comparison! Kim's vocals will blow Taylor's any day! It's night and day between the two.

[peacelovepianoandgum]

taylor swifts version is the deffinitly the best

[mogadishful]

who that woman?

[Rapist4u]

Taylor Swift rocks

[elliecatt104]

...You do all realize that Kim Carnes remade this, just like Taylor Swift did? Jackie Deshannon wrote and recorded the actual "original"...

[safeandsoundhg]

@phreon1 I have seen Taylor Swift live 4 times. I was in the pit one of those times. I could hear her real voice and it was so much better than the CD that are edited. Don't tell me that I don't know the real Taylor Swift.

[justus20081]

there is no re-make of a song that is any better- hell if it weren't for the originals, the artists who can't come up with their own damn songs would be out of a job.... a lot of people out there are famous just based on their looks.. now listen to this woman.. obviously a bit raspy, hardly on key- but this is classic!! Sorry, but as pretty as Taylor Swift is, ..she will never be considered a 'classic'. No disrespect.....just sayin.

[faten87]

Ahhhhhh love this :)

[todayshowman]

Great song!!! Takes me back to when I was a kid...gotta love Kim Carnes!! :)

[erod550]

She probably should have gotten over that cold before recording the song.

[philfan4evr]

No one and I mean NO ONE can re-do this song. Sorry little Taylor Swift boppers but a fact is a fact!

[BrandXSports]

Bette Davis was what they used to call a "Femme Fatale" actress whose career went from the 1930's through the 1980's

This song is about a woman who will use and abuse anyone who thinks they can handle her.

If the girl has Bette Davis eyes you do not stand a chance of getting out of the relationship intact

[MsKylie93]

can someone possibly tell me what these lyrics mean? :)

[todopor]

I love her voice

[Jorel032777]

Whatever happened to Baby Jane? OMG she has Bette Davis eyes!!!!

[safeandsoundhg]

Taylor's voice is so much better and her voice kills Kim's

[phreon1]

@safeandsoundhg How would you know what Taylor Swift sounds like? All you've heard is the canned sound of a voice run through a computer. Kim Carne's voice has something that is completely stripped from modern music - CHARACTER!

[HarryTheHoudini]

How have I never heard this song or singer before??? AMAZING!! I love her voice!

[eightballdoc]

i would pin her legs behind her ears and fack the chit outta her!!!!

[hindefuns69]

B E L L A e B R A V A........e io sogno:-)

[eggimal]

A woman Rod Stewart.

[HECTOR2006ELPASO]

@eggimal Hey, you are right! She sounds just like him. Damn, that's weird. I'm never listening to this song the same way again.

[sobreiro]

@eggimal Rhonda Stewart?

[maskedavenger777]

@sobreiro Rod Stewart's secretive twin brother Ricky Stewart, who had sexual reassignment surgery. I am surprised no one knows the true story of Kim Carnes, née Ricky Stewart.

[HELPTHEPICKLEISALIVE]

I still have no idea who Bette Davis is.

[jewel1260]

Ageless and timeless classic! Sorry but even though Kim has a raspy voice I think her version is the best!

[lizamarie161]

taylor's version is 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000000000000000 % better :)

[TheKyleP1989]

[ScHellga]

[sofiejh1]

Toujours aussi belle , 30 ans après, je l'ai vue aux années bonheurs avec Patrick Sébastien.

[Jookkor]

heh I remember when this came out and I heard the synthetic snare beat on the chorus and was like wooow TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!

And then the chipmonks covered this

and that was also awesome

[MrChuckrocks2010]

OMG ive been trying to find this song for a year. :)

[FACEscalper]

Thumbs up if you were brought here by Tayor Swift and then was like "Fuck Taylor Swift!

[amber301132]

Taylor Swift sounds better... :)

[gigbltea]

ありがとう！

[matazz61]

This song takes me back to watching the dawn break on the shores of Lake Malawi - stoned out of my head on Malawi gold!! Happy days!!!

[green66vw]

Love this song,Rod Stewart as a women,ha,ha.

[alex1nord]

cool 

[babaorumist]

it's good to see how beautiful kim is and to hear such a voice...Very good memories...!!!

[ladygagaslilmonster7]

it's good, but i think taylor swift sings it better

[foxyroxstar]

@ladygagaslilmonster7 What?..Lady Gaga Is Dressed Up For Us As The Pharaoh Priestess Queendom of Heaven on this earth in her video 'She's on the Edge of Glory but she could be a pet skunk!...Taylor Swift..umm...Where's Your Objectiveness as Is Her's in This!..High Plains Drifting!..Gunfighter!........­.....My Mind Is Taking in Imagry faster Than YOUR Pics ULtiMaTeMusiCFacTorY!... Taylor Swift. yea! but give me a better name than a Lady For Herself ..a yea! too though!

[ladygagaslilmonster7]

@foxyroxstar umm i like taylor swift to you know, i accually have a taylor swift account, its taylorloveswift13. so i have no idea what your talking about so whatever.

[foxyroxstar]

@ladygagaslilmonster7 ...I didn't mean to be complex..sorry!..Taylor Swift appears to have some intelligence with her and not...Red Neck!...I only meant that in classing one's own self as a "Lady"..(but no! you have a -YouTube account- so titled?)..hey I love you and peace!...LadyGaga'sLu'ul Monster You!..Rock n Roll!..she's a sweetheart (Taylor) I'll not disagree!

[taylorswiftfanzgirl]

I appreciate this song for being a classic, but Taylor Swift sings this better. I like the lyrics though.

[navrats]

cool classic :)

[Madelynlee1]

My all time favorite

[wizkhalifa402]

[danceislove131]

im only 13, but Taylor Swift got me here! love it! :)

[LYYSL]

PARADISE IS THIS SONG,THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL KIM CARNES YOU MASTER MESMERIZER!!!

[asimple10]

at 1:07 does it sound like she says: She's got credit problems, stand out side? I know i'm not hearing that right.

[Ballarina001]

@asimple10 it is haha. before that she says something bout she knows how to go broke. so yeah im guessing its right too :)

[amandadankness6]

taylor swift's CD brought me here.......... taylor sings it much better in my opinon

[LYYSL]

@amandadankness6 Kim Carnes positively possesses this song in fully charismatic vocal delivery-for time infinite no other can compare/will ever compare-although trying they may eternally do so.

[pierrelareux]

fit as fuck would love half an hour with a bic razer + some baby oil !!

[jivesublime]

yep, your right Dynelol. she does soud like Stewart .

[Pipokinha33]

finally found this song...

[obaida6]

[longobarda57]

Voce alla "Rod Steward" bellissima.......

[24Camshaft24]

Thumbs up if Taylor Swift's Live CD brought you here!!! :D

[tonkinshipwreck69]

@24Camshaft24 The alluminate is trying to get Taylor to take those clothes off. Look at the new album cover. I bet she is something to see.
