Irresistible You…
If you don’t think this is sexy you can just shut up and go away. ;-)
I don’t wish dead people a happy birthday. I just wish some of them were still around.

Almost exactly ten years ago, I was cruising LimeWire & Napster looking for replacements for my old stolen record collection, and recordings by artists that had become obsolete, hard to find, etc. It’s so different now! You can find any old thing if you look in the right places.
Anyway. I’d been very hardcore into Bobby Darin for about 5 years, but hadn’t heard nearly enough of his music. Then I ran across this, and it blew me away.
What I said then was, “I had to go change my underwear after hearing it for the first time.”
It won an Oscar as Best Song, for the movie Papa’s Delicate Condition, as sung by Frank Sinatra. Took me years to appreciate his version of it, though. But this here? Still hits the target, every time.
Headphones on, eyes closed, please.
(and if you’re interested in the one that did it to me next, see Call Me Irresponsible.)
Sing, Bobby.It was his birthday a couple days ago. He’s meant so much to me over the past 15 years, it’s impossible to quantify. And he is one singer/star who, had he lived just a few more years, could have lived a lot more years, due to emerging medical technology, and would have continued to build his legacy. You can’t say that about just everybody.
