Lyrics and mp3: Jealousy by Frankie Laine (1951)

Lyrics and mp3: Jealousy by Frankie Laine (1951)

Okay, I know he sounds like Elvis. Or an Elvis impersonator. A bad one. But still, here’s Frankie Laine’s “Jealousy”

Jealousy! Night and day you torture me
I sometimes wonder if this spell that I’m under
can only be a melody for I know no one but me

your eyes give the answer I’m dreaming of
that soft word your …read more

Marilyn Monroe sex tape?

Marilyn Monroe sex tape?

Supposedly, there are 9 FBI agents who have agreed that it is Marilyn Monroe in a newly found, 15 minute, silent, black and white film where Monroe is on her knees in front of a man whose face is just out of the shot. This video is full of these “factual” statements, and the broker tries to say “Out of respect for Marilyn, the video will not be shown anywhere.” Uh. Riiiight.
It appears that Joe DiMaggio attempted …read more

Don’t Get Around Much Anymore – mp3 and lyrics

This version is by Harry Connick, Jr. and I’m sure that before you click the “play” button you’re going to be scratching your head as to what this song is, but once you hear it, you’ll really recognize it. And yes, there’s lots of instrumental – trumpets and piano and it’s just a really great rendition. I can hear this playing at a cocktail party, you know? Music and lyrics after the jump…
