Wives and Lovers

[backbreaker]

I am a jazz nut as everyone knows. Was listening to the radio and a song that is a standard called wives and lovers came on. I am sure some of you older people know this song, but some of the younger catgs my age might not. here are the lyrics

Hey! Little Girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you...

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here...

Hey! Little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city and
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready
Time to get ready for love

written at a time when women were considered lucky to have a good man, not the other way around. I got to thinking, man... do you know how much of a ****ing stink this song would get if someone had the nerve to tell a woman that just beucase she is married she isn't supposed to quit putting out, that it's not a "fact of life" Just puts in perspective how times have changed.

Men had it good back then. I think too many of them didn't appreciate it and abused the privilege of having subservient wives, which led to feminism and emasculation that we see today.

Frank Sinatra's version was much better.

Hey, did you see where that Michael Buble guy quit crooning and went pop?

He is to carry the flag of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin!

Instead he gets a gf and turns into cat stevens.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Yeah, but Frank is the textbook definition of Alpha. Sounds better coming from a Man.

Back in the day, Sinatra's **** was nearly as famous as he was. Reportedly, it was so big he had to strap it to the inside of his leg.
