This reminds me of an old joke. A man was asked to give a talk on sex to a local organization. He agreed to do it, but told his wife he was giving a talk on sailing.
The next day; someone came up to the wife and said what a great and informative talk he'd given the night before
. She said; "That's so strange, because he's only tried it twice. The first time, he got sick, and the second time, his hat blew off!"
Looking at these pictures of Etta James and listening to this song reminds me of my wild sexual experiences I had in Phuket, Thailand with this woman I met. She has eyes and skin like Etta James and almost looks like Etta when Etta James was younger. I wish I was with her listening to this song alone and getting horny with her again. hehehehehe!
When I heard the first verse in the song singing, "Baby take off your......." It makes me think of when I was in Thailand getting oil massages when the masseuse would tell me to take off my clothes! Wheeew!
This is a song about a sleazy man in a sleazy situation, Randy Newmans original recording is sleazy sounding. Nobody sings this song like Randy the sleazemaster general. This version is one of the best ones I have heard, Tom Jones kills it stone cold dead. OOTS.
One of the most prolific songwriters and an actual composer in his own right. The great music from baseball movie The Natural is Randy Newman's also. I believe he is the nephew of legendary Hollywood composer and score writer; Alfred Newman (No relation to the MAD magazine dude!)
I found an album in the 49 cent bin in the late eighties called simply "Etta James" with this and other songs by Randy Newman. Her rendition of "Sail Away" is just as awesome, so if you ever run across it, buy it. You won't be sorry.
if Eetta could have done less herion, who knows, she inspired janis joplin, in more than one way, this chick coulda had it all,listen to that funky hat!!!!, she gives me live!!!! and whatta bout mikey rourke what was it, seven weeks???
Such a strong woman...such a cool song. R.I.P. Etta James.
