Never screamed. Never busted a blood vessel trying to sing as loud as possible. No histrionics, no nudity or vulgarity...and Peggy Lee makes more of a lasting impact with almost a whisper than all the screechers combined. Gosh she was good.

I always end up bawling when I watch this. My mom was the same age as Peggy Lee, and lived an unhappy life. When this song came on the radio in 1969, my mom always became very angry. She didn't want to believe that that's all there is, but the reality is, that's all there was - my mom's life didn't get better. She deserved better, and didn't get it.

@@glendahalpert6590 Thanks for the thoughts. My mom also fell into heavy alcoholism, and it was a major factor in her demise. She suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke at age 64, and lived nearly all the next six years in nursing homes before dying a few months after turning age 70. Above I said that she lived an unhappy life, but it only became unhappy when the wheels came off my parents' marriage in the late 1950s.

One of my Dad's favorite songs. Born on the lower West Side in "Hell's Kitchen" in 1919, when it was truly Hell, he passed in 1989. He moved to Newark, NJ in the early 50's when he married my Mom & raised 5 sons (I'm 4th of 5). He was a man of his time: WW2 Navy vet, strong, silent, handsome & "oddly" generous, since he grew up with so little. I was with him when he passed, along with my Mom & hospice... I was in my 20's... I'll never forget that day or my great Dad💔

Dec. 26, 1979, Columbus, GA, a chilly night. My 18th birthday (legal drinking age then), driving around in my friend's 72 Buick Electra 225 land shark, drinking beer and smoking cigars. Around 1 am we saw fire trucks beside a suburban house. Stopped and got out with our cigars to see what was going on. Firefighters brought out the bodies of two little girls and laid them on the lawn, gave CPR to no avail. I'd never heard of this song but it captures perfectly how that tragedy affected me. Lee was/is a genius of the highest order and I recommend her early 90s album "There'll be Another Spring," a work of reinterpreted classics and originals to anyone.

@@iancopestick6757 I think the song will be interpreted by each individual depending on how they feel. Some will see it as a song sang by a woman that always wanted something drastic to have more impact and others may see it as those challenges in life were not challenging enough to a strong person or even that she has always been in a state of not caring about anything, even death. Others might see it as just sarcasm.

Salute! This is my mom's favorite song... and she deserves it. Bitter till the last day. Thank you for this. 😎You get it!

that is one interpretation. but i see it so differently - i see it as an acknowledgement of the contradictions in life, the insignificance of each one of us ultimately, but also a celebration of each of us, of life and feelings and love and dance.. ahh it is all wrapped up and twisted and sad and... just lovely. every few years i revisit it and see something different as i go through the stages in my life, too. just wonderful.

Incredible singer. Unbelievablely heartbreaking song. When the bf went away, and she thought she would die. But, she didn't. That line hits home.

She is my favorite singer, even though I am from Russia, but in her I recognize myself precisely in those life difficulties that she had. I will definitely go to Westwood Cemetery in Los Angeles to give flowers to my favorite jazz artist. Her songs have always inspired me and inspire me to live, it's a pity that I didn't find her alive, I would so like to ask her and talk to her...but, unfortunately, I was born shortly before her death in 2000, and she died in 2001, she lives in our hearts and souls, rest in peace, Peggy, thank you very much for your eternal creativity, which continues to live. 😞❤❤❤❤❤

One of the most genius songs ever written sung by one of the greatest female singers of all time. Reminds me to keep my chin up in spite of all of life's let-downs and disappointments and bad things that happen to us all. Thank you Peggy.

I have no idea what she's talking about, but the music arrangement is absolutely BRILLIANT!! The discordant melodies backing her vocals and lyrics borderline as creepy. It's simply beautiful! THIS is what we got in 1969. Imagine music anywhere near the sophistication of this song today?? Ha!!

That song, Bonnie and Clyde and Winchester Cathedral all creeped the hk out of me as a 5/6 yr old. Didn’t know what any of them meant but the chord progressions drew me in and helped to create this overly serious melancholy artist I am today. Even now as I write this I haven’t heard these songs in years but now I just have to. Thanks😒!

I remember when this song came out, I was in junior high school. I thought at the time how depressing it was, but now all these years later I find it somehow comforting. Ironic.

I had a chance to see Miss Peggy Lee perform live twice....Once in a little nightclub called The Ballroom on Manhattan's West Side....And once in her one-woman Broadway show called "Peg"....She was so uniquely her own person, a great stylist and interpreter of the lyric; there was no other singer remotely like her....Her delivery was always just right....She always under sang a song, paying great attention to the lyrics....Watch her eyes and facial expressions as she weaves her magic telling her story in each song....She was a great chanteuse on the same level as Edith Piaf and Mabel Mercer....None of these great story-tellers of song will ever be forgotten....
