Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, for fuck's sake, songs from the 30s*,why do you have to be so damn racist in your original forms? Now I have to figure out which non-original recording to use.
* Especially "Let's Do It" and "Puttin' on the Ritz"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
* Especially "Let's Do It"
Though it does use the original lyrics.
and "Puttin' on the Ritz"
Or, Taco's anomalous hit version from '83.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Not useful for my purposes. This is a compilation for people in an Alzheimer's facility, so I need the versions that will be most resonant with the older generation. I've been trying to go with original recordings or those who made it famous (before 1952 or so)
Though it does use the original lyrics.
Don't think so. It's got birds and bees (which is the replacement lyric). They also take a smattering of lines from various verses.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have an Ella Fitzgerald version of Let's do it from 1956 that uses birds and bees. Would that do?
ets: I also have an Ella version of Puttin' on the Ritz

Ann, that's a ferret.
"Puttin' on the Ritz" -- Maybe the Clark Gable version from Idiot's Delight? I don't have a copy, but it comes with its own video....

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I found alternates for both of them. I went with a later Astaire re-recording for Ritz. I may actually have an Ella for Let's Do It. I don't recall with certainty. I'm fairly sure the Gable uses the original lyric, and I'm not putting a song that refers to "high browns" on a mix that I'm sending out into the wilds of older people with Alzheimer's.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yet none of them are as nerdy as Man or Astro-man? covering the MST3K theme.
