I am trying to force myself to listen to Polka on the local AM country radio station in the car. According to another listener, her father from Poland loves it because it is pop music from the 20's and reminds him of his youth.

I can't imagine that "Hooked on a Feeling" elicited all the groans you were imagining – it's a perfectly fine song. A classic, even with its ooga-chakas and all.

Bot boy howdy, you should have heard the reactions just the other day to my perfectly boffo related idea! Picture this: a musical theatre version of Hamlet, featuring tunes everybody knows with the lyrics just a little bit rewritten!

Early on, we'd have the song just under discussion, but improved to:

"Hooked on Ophelia!"

Later on, Our pal Hamlet would feature this improved version of The 59th Street Bridge Song:

"Feelin' Moody!"

Just last night I was watching the first episode of Peter Gunn, which I just discovered is available on the streamy video thing.

At the very least, I wanted to see the show which had That Theme Song, but it didn't disappoint – mobsters with pug-ugly character-filled faces, men in proper suits and hats, and (as Julie London just put me in mind of) the torch singer in the smoky jazz club. Composed shots. Filmed in noir and white and more noir.

I think I'll want to immerse myself in it for a few evenings.

@JeffMoore: “Hooked on Ophelia” makes me wince and want to vomit… Which means that you could probably get tourists to flock into that theater by the bus-full hourly so hey. Great Broadway show idea!

@Joe: thanks for letting us stay in the late-50s / early-60s nightclub so long! It's a great joint, even if the drinks are a little pricy.

They knew how to deliver a lyric in those days. I really cant listen to any contemporary lady jazz singing. The singing style popular today just gets in the way

D. Lightfoot:

Agreed. Today it's all about the performer and not about the song.
