1. Thanks for posting. I never connected that song to this one before

I didn’t realize they were the same song.

5. Thank you. What a fascinating interpretation

2. My mother told me the "older generation" thought the song somewhat scandalous when it came out

Mom would have been about 21 then so she was referring to her parents' generation. She said a lot of the lyrics went over her head at the time (not unlike what the Andrew Sisters claimed).

Some of the reasons why are here:

3. Thanks for the info.

I've had the song in mind for a long time, for good reasons: I remember entertainer Morey Amsterdam, and I was born in '45, so clearly my parents were part of the generation. (I'm celebrating my mother's 106th birth anniversary next weekend.)

4. This is a cute, sexy little ditty. One of my faves by them...
