Alan "Schmendrick" Arkin has a better singing voice in this, but he also looks stiff, like he doesn't want to be there and is embarrassed about the whole thing. Christopher Lee, on the other hand, is clearly enjoying the hell out of himself.
Not to say that Christopher Lee is normally a bad singer, but he's sounding a little off-key in this specific song. He shows off his singing skills much better in his other big number from the same film, Choose Your Poison.
@zazelby It wasn't Sir Lees fault, his lyrics don't make much sense in a rhythmic context. I highly doubt someone with the standards of Christopher Lee would release such shotty work if he had any say.

Hm, this has a few different cuts than the version I saw on VHS back when.
Does anyone know the name of the redheaded dancer in the string vest who first appears at 1:30?

That couldn't possibly have been a nod towards Mr. Lee's famous portrayal of Count Dracula, could it? ;-)

@YaTuberculosis Well, he was Dracula once, you know! Actually, several times...
