Retrospecter Vol III.

El Retrospecter de hoy es realmente retro, lo digo porque este tema fue originalmente compuesto en 1936 y grabado, tras algunas modificaciones, en 1941 (con la voz de Lil Green). Se trata de Why Don't You Do Right? (Get Me Some Money Too). A Peggy Lee le valdría el éxito algunos años más tarde, hacia 1943.

Jessica Rabbit Unntooned por Pixeloo

Esta fue también la canción que interpretó el personaje animado de Jessica Rabbit en la película Quién Engañó a Roger Rabbit. Corría entonces el año 1988. Y no acaba ahí la trayectoria del tema pero, dejando otras curiosidades aparte, os presento el remix que ha editado Gramophonedzie bajo el título Why Don't You?

You had plenty money, 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

You're sittin' there and wonderin' what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will put you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too

I fell for your jivin' and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Like some other men do
