[TonyPerryOfficial]

I'm not sure I like this version.. the vocals are very cheesey.

[fantaXDaddict]

I looked out of my window and the sky is actualy orange here because the sun is setting and this song came to mind :)

[Jurification]

time before autotune :)

[0005thegirl]

I love how she says "Flash, bam, alacazam!" This song is wonderful and she has a nice voice.

[CJYOUFCKINBUSTER]

Don't like the weird sound effects and the way she screams timber.

[MisterGagaEmilio]

Like if Lady Gaga brings you here! :D

[vault2281]

@MisterGagaEmilio Screw gaga

[iloveBjork4ever]

@MisterGagaEmilio a la mierda tu gaga

[SatchmoSings]

@MisterGagaEmilio Lady Gaga's version is crap and a big letdown after the Tony Bennett duet (not that I care for this one, either; this is very "over the top").

Gaga's version is especially badly recorded; no soundstage and over use of limiter-compressors.

[YouKnowWhoDK]

finally!!! they use this on a commercial on tv and ive been having that "flash, bam, alakasam" part in my head for weeks, and now ive finally found it!!

[igopiw1]

gaga prawie jak ona... ale betty jest lepsza;))

[NHRHS2010]

Did Frank Sinatra ever sing that song?

[7MileBob]

It was good when I was a kid, and it's just as good now. They never should have let Lady GaGa get her hands on it.

[whitehotember]

This song is just so wonderful, as was Betty Hutton. I wish more people knew her work. She was such a very talented lady with such heart and soul. I like hearing Kristin Hersh's stories about going to university with Ms. Hutton in Rhode Island in the 1980s, especially on KH's live album Cats and Mice, the title of which refers to advice she received from Ms. Hutton on stage presence. She was truly one of a kind, or perhaps one of the last of her kind.

[DanteLuvBD]

love the sound like radio....

[18i7aar85]

this song is in a danish orange juice commercial so cool song like it so much

[sweetiepea13]

betty hutton is awesome! her music came out before my parents were born. probably in the years were my grand parents were born!

[whiteboigamerpro]

i kinda like nats better

[dante75915]

Lol!

[weltec2]

Lots of fun. Wonderful... and certainly the most playful rendition.

[MikeBlitzMag]

She certainly set the precedent for the element of surprise with this one. Teresa Brewer followed suit in 1956 with A Sweet Old Fashioned Girl, but even the infallible Tess had her work cut out for her in trying to top the great Professor Hutton with this one. Love it!

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

I may of heard this song just once before, and I don't know where, when or by who. Anyway I like it, when I think of it, it's called,'LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"! & has it happened to me? not quite. Love didn't hit me in the eye but I now what it feels like to be in love...all the other times I may of tpuched on love, would be just a case of puppy love. I like the song & the orange coloured sky must of been taken @ sunset, perhaps over English Bay in Vancouver....but it didn't or I'm the big O.

[shebam]

The "awesome black guys" were the Stan Kenton orchestra -- awesome but not black ......... Nat didn't need them to be a better singer and musician than Betty.

[Bernankegreenspan]

hilarious.

[dante75915]

She sounds like Nicki Minaj.

[einsteinisheavy]

@dante75915 It's "Nicki Minaj sounds like Betty Hutton".

[Polarbomb15]

nat king cole did this a soooo much better, probably because he had awesome black guys do the FLASH BAM ALAKAZAM for him

[callmeBe]

I'm not partial to this version, but beyond that I find the instrumental midsection completely out of character with the voice. (It's very competent writing, but very modest in character, as opposed to the voice). I'm wondering if the arranger--at that point-- had any notion of how rough Hutton's version of this tune was going to be . . .

[fromthesidelines]

At the time, DeLugg was also the musical director on NBC's first late-night variety/talk show (more variety than talk}, "BROADWAY OPEN HOUSE". Because of its constant exposure by DeLugg and his group on the program, this became one of the first hit records influenced by television.

[okinawacakes]

Does anyone know more of these songs?! I just LOVE how comical this is. :D

[tooflyklu]

comical, like it

[baka2therescue]

srong n beautiful. the way it should be

[venus3003]

[peachandlimes]

[churruu]

[claireisepic]

INCREDIBLE voice

[maraiahtaylor14]

LMAO xD

[getzppnya]

Does anyone have the Nat King Cole Show episode where she preformed this along with the duet Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better with the great King Cole?

[edthesp]

Wow. Sung with abandon. I like this.

[whamfan87]

This is so great! Thanks for the upload, reminds me of listening to grandpa's records

[satinsandspurs]

Nat King Cole recorded "Orange Colored Sky" on Capitol Records two days before Betty recorded hers for RCA Victor. However, the song was first given to Betty by songwriter Milton DeLugg, who appears briefly in her film "Let's Dance". Both Betty and Mr. Cole had Top 40 hits with this song.

[jaycolt455]

@satinsandspurs i like nats version better
