Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes (Lyrics)

[ANGRYBONE2112]

Kim Carnes voice oozes sex appeal.Perfect with this song.

[Fudgemuffin84]

singing this in my middle school audition for a musical!

[ThatLittleGemma]

I love Taylor Swift and was so surprised when I found out she'd covered this song! I've always loved the original though! It's one of my favourites... <3

[FasterThanMyBullet]

My name is Jaymee. <3

[AngeloMosco21]

what does taylor swift have to do with this song ?? jw shes good but this is music

[starmaps14]

@AngeloMosco21 She did a cover of this song at one of her concerts and it's on her World Tour Live: Speak Now CD.

[ShrewdEmpath]

It's got that banging 80's bass line, magical backing and lyrics that actually mean something, and it's not a trite love song either.

...and I for one was oblivious to any Taylor Swift cover.

[longlive17]

like if you're watching because of Taylor Swift!

[TOMBOW123456789]

I love this song "she'll tease you She'll unease you just to please you!" true story

[WonderstruckForever]

i'm 13 and i fucking love this song.

[KatrinaMarie1029]

i bet half of these people don't even know who bette davis is..

[BieberExpert]

I like Taylor Swift's cover better than the real one!!

[kyeliz219]

Didn't realise it had cut me off, finishing up--

so I mean no disrespect to her or her fans. But all these 'I'm only 15 and I love this song!' comments are making me mental.

[kyeliz219]

I love this song, and I think it's pretty awesome that kids are getting into music like this, but let's call a spade a spade-- if it weren't for Taylor Swift covering this track on her live record, these 15-year-olds patting themselves on the back for 'listening to good music' would never have even heard the song. That hardly makes you musically literate. Now I am as big a Taylor fan as they come, and I think it's absolutely phenomenal that she's exposing younger generations to quality music, s

[MusicGuru1616]

@kyeliz219 good point and its probably true for a lot of 15 year olds but i knew this song before i ever heard a taylor swift song and im into a lot of other older music too because of my parents.i wish i was an 80s kid they had some of the best music,anyways my point was not all us 15 year olds listen to this kind of music cuz of taylor swift and other popular pop artists' covers and then say how we're so into old music when we've only heard 2 or 3 songs..wow that was longer than i planned lol

[vanessaarellano915]

cool song



[LovelyPurring]

teenagers loves great music like this!

i'm 15 :3!

[theanaconda666]

im 15 and this song kicks ass

[xaberd22]

How is this song so utterly amazing, 10/10, but all her other songs hurt my ears? Oh well, I'll take what I can get! :D

[ratonsita13]

Dios, Es como si siguiera escuchabdo a todos aquellos que un dia creyeron en la simpatia mia, los adore por muchos años y ahora si tendria Los ojos de ELLA!!

[last9emperor]

I'm 1 day old and I love this song! thumbs up if ur 1 day old and u also love this song!

[xnothingsxforever]

the movie "take me home tonight" brought me here =]

[jgardosem1]

one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...

[roxyair]

i love this song had this on favs for years ply it alot x

[Prayingbear777]

Amen to that! This IS REAL music!

[WiiRemoter]

Why can't my generation get good music like this? Every 15 year old should know this song.

[napautotkaba]

@WiiRemoter i'm 14 and i know this song. not because of my idol taylor swift, but because of my parents that influenced me to the 80's

[liberomeianima]

@napautotkaba I know what you mean. I'm the same age and my parents are always lsitening to old music, and I actually like it. ;D

[ShizalariAshe]

@WiiRemoter I love this song, I know it by heart. I showed it to my little sister, (Who's 10) You know what she said? What's this junk!??? I died on the inside.

[BayleeMcBride321]

@MonsterRocktar96 im 14 and i LOVVE this too (:

[retroboydeccles]

I don't need to be congratulated on listening to a song you utter twat.

[FuzzBean84]

The congratulatory crap at the end is SUPER loud!!!! Be warned if you're wearing earphones. O_o

[samsamsammysam66]

@MonsterRocktar96

I'm 13 and love this :D

[xcountrypookx]

Take me home tonight brought me here as well my friend....glad to c I'm not the only one...lol

[fairfax17]

each time I hear this song, and I do like it matter of fact, it's one of my favorites; I think about the "spoof" that one of those comedy shows made about this song. In stead of saying "shes got Bette Davis eyes", they would sing "shes got Barbara Stiesands nose. I believe it was SNL. whatever it was it was funny.

[virentoo]

Take me Home Tonight brought me here

[mrbr549]

Great song, but ad at the beginning I can't bypass, loud commentary at the end, thumbs down!

[efi4100]

take me home tonight

[HippyJulz]

Love the song! Love the actress! I still find it amusing that I blushed the 1st time I sang it in public!!! Oh to be innocent again!!lol

[Mandar28887]

It would have been better without the music at the starting and end

[themachman19691]

one of my favourite songs of all time,and the best actress to ever live

[MrBeeEmEx]

@HauntingHalloween OMFG WHO GIVES A FUCK?? Get over things on Youtube bro, thats how life is, PUSSY@!!@!@

[HauntingHalloween]

im 14, omg lyke i'm 14 too!! wow!! i'm 14 also!!! we have soo much in common!! i'm 14!!!

Who gives a fuck, who gives a shit? Stop stating your age. Not only is it annoying, but i'm sure you have homework or something more important to do instead of watching youtube videos.

[FloydZeppelinFan96]

@MonsterRocktar96 Old username.

[ShroudedFury]

I taught myself how to play this on keyboard like 9 years ago just by listening to it. But hey i can play keyboard/piano just by listening to a song xD

[Nazhuk]

[dynagravitomagnetic]

Gene Harlowe izza coke feen. Greta Garbo her a pepsi instead! (i vant to bee alone) This song should be re-done by Lady Gaga in a gold lamay outfit shooting laser beams from her eyes, blasting sparks from her tits and blasting a fire extinguisher from her ass! - kind of sublime, huh?

[chockchip100]

[SudsMcDuff18]

[Harmonator1000]

@tabletennis4 New York snow is full of pollution. Come to Maine for the real pure snow.

[MW2xCommander]

Congratulions! You have successfully been awarded the 'Most Annoying Voice' award! Congratulations.

[lindasuekristen]

I love the rhythm and sophistication of this song.

[seraphetine87]

Thumbs Up if you got here from Steve Buscemi's Eyes

[devoretz]

Idiot, It is Harlow



[expatcanuck79]

OK, good effort, but so many spelling and reference errors...still, good on you, mate.

[MrPrimemover1]

i think it's "Hard to feed with the crumbs she throws you" not "off your feet"

[MrBuckley123]

[iKAJofficial]

[gumamella1]

Loved this song...love kim carnes...

[weavs95]

the only thing i do know about the melody of this song is, the 7up commercial back in the 80s...

i didn't know this song until i saw the woman singing on the "Don't Forget The Lyrics"

this song is really COOL....good voice!..im glad i found this song. Thank You!...



[Boxerboy0109]

there's something about this video that i really like.

but there's a ton of errors in the lyrics that really annoy me

[MW2xCommander]

@Boxerboy0109

Then go make your own.

[Naludog11]

its actually Spaz not spy "all the boys thinks she's a spaz"

[MW2xCommander]

1) What does 'she'll snow you' mean?

2) What is harlowe gold?

3) Who's Greta Garbo?

4) What's so good about new york snow?

5) What's 'Bette Davis Eyes'?

[SuperWarriorMullet]

@MW2xCommander "Bette Davis eyes" means very soft, big blue eyes. The actress Bette Davis had the same kind.

[MW2xCommander]

@SuperWarriorMullet

Can you answer 1, 2, 3, and 4?

[yeoldeengineer]

@MW2xCommander

1. Incomplete. "She snows you / off your feet with the crumbs she throws you" (note the contrast between cause and effect - ever been blown away by small details?)

2. C old comments. Ref 2 actress Jean Harlow, 1st platinum blonde in film biz.

3. (0_0) I guess Wikipedia told you.

4. Fits the other imagery, style wise.

And since some folks wanted to know, Wikipedia sez "The song was written in 1974 by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon."

Nice classic, isn't it?

[PrincessofDarkness79]

@MW2xCommander Greta Garbo was a famous silent film actress

[ALTDOK666]

@MW2xCommander

1) when you "snow" someone, you act to impede them somehow or distract them from their course

2) Harlow Gold...she has the same hair as Jean Harlow, who you can Google or Bing or whatever...

3) Greta Garbo was an actress back in the day, see 2) to learn more about her

4) The implication here is that she is not pure at all

5) The subject of the song has the same look as Bette Davis...Google Bette Davis to see...

[QueenOfAmber]

Yay! I survived the song!

I completed it! :D

[lesorciercalifornien]

13 people don't know what it takes to make a pro blush.

[ExoticGawdess]

Who is she singing about? Joan Crawford?

[catamarquesa]

[TheDantheman1997]

i see in a lot of songs it says "snows you" what does that mean?

[ravendarkwater]

I love this song, shame it's used in a TV ad for a product thats tested on animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o(

[sexualgoth10]

@ravendarkwater O NO CALL PETA QUICK!! stfu

[Grogrognon]

This song haunted me for at least one year ! Couldn't find anyone to give me its title or singer. As I'm 23 and habitually listen to rock music, I was unlikely to have a friend that could help. Anyway, I really LOVE the riff and the voice: SO FUCKING TEASING !!! Roarrrrr !!!!

[mfsbrandes]

your know, most people tune in to listen to great, nostalgic songs, or new ones they aint got. you figure most comments should simply be positive, just on the music. the you get some sick fuck like Nighaz to get vulgar. aint you got anything better to do than show what a dirtball you are? There should be a "delete" button for worthless pieces of "dung" like you.

[xummij]

@Nighaz Go away and sin no more

[LeonieLuvsMichaelJac]

Love this song, but the problem is, i get too much used to it on a song lol Xx.

[Aerosmith58621]

is kim carnes lesbian? It seems like it......

[elnopalmascubano]

@Aerosmith58621 does it matter? no

[Retsigam1]

I don´t really know why, but I adore this song

[hutchy411]

lol @ the ending hahaha- Sik song though

[tonystarkar8]

haha love this song only heard it from the shampoo ad but brilliant

and is it just me or is the bit at the VERY start from cod 5 soundtrack?? called burst to be precise?

[pamcakes79]

i like this song , :P

[Alizimmer483]

I heart her husky voice <3 I only needed to listen to this once to know I'll become addict to it. Heard this song years ago and heard it again last saturday. became addict all over again ;)

[hatcher21century]

at last i found this song.hwere can I meet her??

[vampiresareReal1]

i love ths song

[doddling]

Wonderful song

Wonderful delivery

Anyone know who wrote it?

[isrealsson]

@doddling google is your friend.

[duubamg]

I think I need a girl like the one she's describing. : )

[Dehuman18]

every man needs that kinda girl )

[SirRecluse]

@duubamg Thumbs up to that Brother!

[bluciano67]

you come back to this...kim carnes voice...bette davis...two legends...

[REDDITCHROCKS]

not to be too anal, (but then i am gay - boo yeh) but when someone whets their appetite, it is WHETS, not wets

[Froodrook]

@REDDITCHROCKS lucky she didn't "wheat" it then :D

[Froodrook]

finally i know what she's singing: "she's got betty davis eyes", not: "feels just like a gay massage"

[ALTDOK]

Harlow

[skittlesareawesome07]

I love this song

[KyoyasAngel]

...the voice at the end... is that mychonny?

Oh, well. Great job on the vid.

~Kn~

[klobbs]

kim carnes is a god....cher is fuckin genious....joan jett rocks..cmon ladies without you ill have to look at him..so plz be nice hahaahha

[qewr4231]

Some people say this song is about Coccaine; but I think it's about Bette Davis. Kim Carnes sung this song for Bette Davis at one of Bette Davis' birthday parties. Bette Davis was very pleased with the song.

[rusticlover1997]

@qewr4231 this song is about coccaine

[Mullshot89]

betty davis eyes n a fanny like a watermelon ye ye ye juicy

[AGAG25]

gorgeous

[angel5469ca]

I have always loved this song...I sang it with a friend back when my uncle and husband where in a band I got bored during band practice and started singing out loud by accident with them to this song...i also like the beat at 3:05.

[Fanis753]

i always believed that this song would fit perfect on Rod Stewart's voice

[SkyDancer25]

Wooohoooo! I'm so glad the lyrics were here...sang this at Karaoke and I'll sing it again.

She's as pure as New York Snow

I only listened to this song because of that advert for Shampoo had that lyric stuck in my head.
