  • I love anita o'day. also stan kenton I'm 45....

  • Bacall, O'Day, Fitzgerald. You're right, Bacall's better

  • Charles Bukowski liked this, that's what got me here and I'm happy I'm here

  • Luv the background singers :) Simply luv O'Days music...

  • This >>>> The Big Sleep's version.

    What terrible lyrics, though.

  • love this song but I love how Bacall sings it better in her movie The Big Sleep.

  • Swing it, cat ! This is such a great classic ! Thanks for posting !

  • O'Day is pig-Latin for Dough,er money ...hep-cats! Anita wanted to make a lotta "dough"....

  • Music of my past-life...Great!

  • This is the very first song from Anita that I heard and I fell in love!!..<3

  • I love this song.. I'm 17 years old. Too bad music isn't like this today.

  • @floppydinosaur What does your age have to do with anything? I hate how kids do that... XP like you expect us to be impressed or something? I've prefered this music while you all were still listening to Britney and N*SYNC.

  • Stan had some great vocal talents back in the day with Anita and June Christy! Damn. Too bad these Kenton charts aren't in print.

  • "And he socked her in the chopper...."

    BITCH GOT KNOCKED OUT!

  • What a songstress!Nobody writes or SINGS songs like this today.Thanks for the clip.

  • A classic used in THE BIG SLEEP, with vocal cover by Lauren Bacall.

    This is a fun take too.

  • she looks hot

  • go to wikipedia and check out her life , she had it rough but a super talent

  • The first Anita O'Day song I ever heard..

  • Seems my taste is getting more refined as I age too! 49 this year! Yikes!!

  • cool :) I like old songs like this. It's cool!

  • This is the song that turned me on to Anita O'Day in Dec ,2007,,,,,I google her to find out sadly that she died around Thanksgiving of 2007, I was 44yo then, the older I get the further back my taste goes ,,,,,,its weird. Nonetheless I got her box set last year.

    I told my S.O. the only girls you have to be jealous of are all dead.  :-)

  • lauren becall sang this in the big sleep.

    duke elligtons "drop me off in harlem" reminded me of this

  • Cool song - I know this from The Big Sleep, too. Great movie - maybe the best Film Noir ever. Bacall more than held her own, and Great scene, too. Anita is a GODDESS. Thanks for posting, Joan.

  • Even Charles Bukowski loved this song.

  • @bjoler2008

    Haha, it's basically a summation of the "Chinaski legend" in song form.

  • A Great Video with a great band..........Anita O' Day could "belt 'em" out......Thank you for posting....../s/ Bob
