cole porterin bu sarkisi 1956'da high societyde frank sinatra - bing crosby ikilisi tarafindan soylenmistir, ki unutulmaz bir duettir, tadindan yenmez.

sarkinin orjinali 1940'ta "dubarry was a lady" muzikalinde yer almistir, high societynin en eglenceli sahnelerinden biri olan sarki filme aslinda bir eklemedir, cunku film boyunca crosby ve sinatra'nin beraber soyledigi bir sarki olmadigin farkedip, son dakikada porter bu eski sarkiyi yeniden yazivermistir. ne iyi yapmis, iyi ki yapmis, o ayri..

debbie harry & iggy pop coverini bir sinatra hastasi olarak sahsen pek sevmesem de, red hot + blue isimli cole porter tribute albumunde de yer almistir 1990'da.
