Love Is Like A Cigarette -Stanley Worth

[ZPopZRock]

I enjoyed the romantic music and video.

Well I think it's a beautiful song. (Lights up a NON-filtered cigarette, and blows smoke in all the Non-smokers faces...) I like Ivy Anderson's version as well.

[shamrocks118]

vera lynn sang it too

[Gydinglight12]

Listen to the lyrics and knock off the pcness. He is singing that love lasts as long as the cig burns in your hand. The same lyrics that Eva Busch sang in German in her song Zigarett.

[Weimlady]

Love is expensive, disgusting, filthy and causes cancer? How romantic!  How times have changed. (Thank God.)

[Bigband78]

@Weimlady ,I agree and quit smoking 20 years ago.I had put this song on for the daughter of the vocalist(Stan Worth).

[Weimlady]

@Bigband78 I'm glad you did! I heard the song for the first time last night listening to an old time radio show and could hardly believe my ears. I wanted to share it with friends and you made that possible in the best way! Thanks!

@Weimlady if you have nothing nice or constructive to say about the evident to a cretin symbolic meaning of this simple and wonderful song of its time, go and do some 'Weim' somewhere else - preferably in your own cupboard, alone. You are not a lady. You have not spoilt this song or our enjoyment. Bye bye. Good riddance.

@Weimlady lol

[RatPfink66]

@Weimlady There sure was a lot of unPC lyric matter in the big band era. It just has to be taken in the spirit of the day - just like the music.

I had never heard the original before, just the cover that K.D. Lang did

[Bigband78]

@lustovermuscles ,I never heard of K.D.Lang.

[cherrydog9]

@Bigband78 that's tragic, you should. her album "drag" is a piece of beauty, where she did a cover of this

[CurzonRoad]

Hmmm...... "WARNING: The Surgeon General Has Determined That Falling in Love is Hazardous to Your Health."

Nice tune.... THANKS!

[Bigband78]

It is now cheaper to smoke pot,unbelievable taxes on smokes.

Woow, very chic post Bob. It reminds me when smoking were very very chic.

[worthmoremusic]

well you got a photo now Lou :-) Looking for one from that era.....

[Bigband78]

Lou and many others appreciate your nice gesture.If you check around you'll see how we gave Elmer Feldkamp a lot of exposure.I didn't research your dad yet,but I noticed he played with the Tony Pastor Orch. in 1941.

[bostonblakie]

BB78....keep those smoking songs coming. I just lit up an imaginary Camel but put it out right after the record ended. ;-) At least no ashtrays to empty that way.

[Bigband78]

Don't throw the rest of your imaginary Camels away because I still have Rudy's"My Cigarette Lady"to upload.

[ginnykaren]

Very Nice. The pictures are lovely and accompany this most romantic and sweet song perfectly. 5 stars and a favorite! =:)

[Bigband78]

I hope the vocalists daughter see this.She sent her dad's photo after I uploaded it.I may do it over.But I do have more Stanley Worth vocals.

[ginnykaren]

I hope she sees this too. I wouldn't do this over if you have more of his records.

This upload is superb!

[genia106]

Lovable LOU, I love this Sensual Song and the beautiful lyrics and romantic vocal. I love the Exquisite Piano and the Sophisticated Orchestration. The video is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT! Thank you.

[Bigband78]

I missed the vocalists photo.Next time I will have his photo from later years that his daughter Judy Worth was nice enough to provide me.
