I had to walk a fine line with this one. I didn't want to turn the song into a
joke out of respect for Frank's songwriting, but wanted it to have the spirit
of fun of the rest of the album; it's a cynical song about 'love gone bad' done
with a campy flare.
Early vocal takes proved to be too serious sounding [and seeing as I'm NOT a
crooner in the Tony Bennett/Sinatra style would have made the whole thing sound
incongruous]. So, I decided to make it a pastiche of '40s/50s styled lounge
singers complete with a nod to The Andrews Sisters as backing vocalists which
features my sister-in-law Maureen and my daughter Danielle. Oh, and my lawyer
is on saxophone. He charged me half the hourly rate for that one. :-)
