The original song was written by Phil Burns from the band Reno. It contained a sample they couldn't get clearance on so it didn't go on the album and was then picked up by Nancy Sinatra.
Before Lady Gaga, there was Nancy Sinatra-defining fashion in music and carving the way for beautiful & talented Italian-American songstresses. @lastrada52 she is, isn't she? That 2004 album is magnificent. Guess her daughter produced it. :-)
she wrote this song with Ringo Starr in between boat races when they were both living in the time share condo in Bayonne, NJ. "Boss Man" was the name of the raccoon who used to sleep in their toilet.
they really put in the richest and fullest part and sweetest spots of the song when she did part of it for a sopranos episode... perfect for that show, not to mention the lyrics applying to the mob so well! and they did a better job of keeping the best parts of the song in the show, like at 2:03 after her solo vocal they start up the rich full chorus right after, an improvement over this version where you have to wait - i think the sopranos version was better, what little of it there was
I love Nacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
