The Roches - It's Bad for Me 1980

The Roches - It's Bad for Me 1980
Song from the musical 'Nymph Errant' by Cole Porter
Your words go through and through me
And leave me totally dazed
For they do such strange things to me
They nearly make me gloomy
For you dear are so clever
So obviously the top
I wish you'd go on forever
I wish even more you'd stop
Oh it's bad for me it's bad for me
The knowledge that you're going mad for me
I feel certain my friends would be glad for me
But it's bad for me
It's so good for me so new for me
To see someone in such a stew for me
And when you say you'll do all you could for me
It's so good for me it's bad for me
I felt 'til you whispered to me
Completely left on the shelf
But since you started to woo me
I'm just crazy about myself
It's a boon for me a break for me
To hear that your heart's on the make for me
Yet no matter however appealing
I still have a feeling it's bad for me
It's so sweet for me it's swell for me
To feel that you're going through hell for me
Yet no matter however appealing
I still have a feeling it's bad for me

I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED--and it's EXQUISITE! One of my favorite Cole Porter tunes done true justice musically!! BRAVA!!

Cole Porter + Roches = A cappella heaven.

Delightful. When they pick things up at 2;25 it's bad news since time's almost up. Saw Suzzy and Maggie in 2004 and they were wildly entertaining.

Brilliant harmonies and so witty
