BH. So wonderfully professional and talented, acting or singing. Love her energy and this song...

[@wompy53]

Working at a post production house in DC, I did the film transfer from 35mm print provided from the National Archives. Recorded HD to file and uploaded from that and wallah. Glorious Betty Hutton

[@Marcel_Audubon]

That's a vitamin pill with legs!

[@searchers3225]

Probably the most dynamic pop song performance ever recorded on film. Unbelievable.

Jumpin' Jive, she's great! Thank you, Jim.

Lyrics: Finally found a fella ... almost completely divine But his vocabulary is killing this romance of mine - We get into an intimate situation And then begins this Romeo's conversation... He says, "Murder," he says every time we kiss He says, "Murder," he says , at a time like this! He says, "Murder," he says - Is that the language of love? He says, *"solid,"* he says , takes me in his arms and says, *"solid,"* he says , meaning all my charms He says, *"solid,"* he says - Is that the language of love? He says, "Chick, chick, You torture me! Zoom, are we livin'? " I'm thinkin' of leaving him flat ! He says, "Dig dig the jumps The old ticker is giving ," Now he can talk sweeter than that! He says, "Murder," he says every time we kiss He says, "Murder," he says , keep it up like this! He says, "Murder," he says , in that _impossible_ tone , will bring on nobody's murder but his own! He says, "Jackson," he says , and my name's Marie - He says, "Jackson," he says , "Shoot the snoot to me!" He says, "Jackson," he says Is that the language of love? He says, "Wood woof!" he says when he likes my hat He says, knk knk, he says ; what the heck is that? He says, "Woo woo!" he says . Is that the language of love? He says, "Hep hep with helium, now babe, we're cookin'!" And other expressions to wit He says, "We're in the groove n' the groove is good-lookin'!" He sounds like his uppers don't fit! He says, "Murder," he says , "Murder!" And when he says "murder " In that *_impossible_* tone , I've told him over and over and over again that it'll be nobody else's murder, _BOY!_ But his owwwwwwwn!

What a 22yo firecracker

I collected all commercial versions of this song and Hutton easily bested all other singers -including Tori Amos, and particularly, Dinah Shore, who obviously had no feeling for such material. Amos, was a tad better, but Hutton was unique.

[@kentonkruger8333]

Agree she has character, but still say I prefer the Tori Amos version.

[@givanoprimahandia3586]

she is better than taylor swift

[@jogecontreras6614]

Givano Primahandia And way less inappropriate.
