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
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.
Dream Girl ,'Bring On The Night'
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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
Yet none of them are as nerdy as Man or Astro-man? covering the MST3K theme.

That song is pretty. Isn't the official name "Love Song from MST3K" or something like that?

Yep.

Ah, okay, Debet. I'd forgotten that lyric.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yea, I was almost done with transcribing the lyrics, with a few blanks for "what did he say?" And then we got to the second time through the lyrics, with the different rhythm, and I said, "Tell me he didn't just say that."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I want a remix of "Rat-a-tat-tat" by FOB without Courtney Love's vocals. It's not that they're horrible, it's just I would like the song better without the ingrained "Oh dear G-d not her" reaction.
