Songs from 'The Singing Detective' (BBC) - This song, for some reason once covered a capella by Bugs Bunny, features the lyric 'My momma once told me, "Hon, a man's gonna sweet-talk and give ya the big-eye, but when the sweet talk is done..."'. According to Momma, a man will leave a girl with what (the title of the song)?
The correct answer is 'The Blues in the Night'
Yup. Apparently, 'a man is a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night.' This one was sung by Anne Shelton, a sometime musical comedy actress from the U.K. Very sad ditty. I made up the 'Bun in the Oven' and 'Nothing But a Broken Heart'. The Andrews Sisters' hit 'Rum and Coca-Cola' was banned for some years, since its subject matter dealt with prostitutes in the West Indies who entertained G.I.s stationed there. 'Both mother and daughter workin' for the Yankee dollar.' Great song!

Blake Hodgetts wrote it and it was sung by Betty Johnson, whose voice could give Doris Day a run for her money. The little blue man followed her down the street, crying "I wuv you, I wuv you!" For dumb lyrics, it would be hard to beat "Moonlight Becomes You", which runs, "Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair -- you certainly know the right things to wear …."
