As Good As It Gets


From 1965. The Chairman of the Board and a Riddle arrangement! Looking back how could Fabian, Avalon, etc. be so popular? I know every generation needs to define itself and bring with them their own music, but I don't think this happened in the 30's and 40's. I remember, I was about 15 and I played this as a 45 and I thought, "How did I miss this?" Appreciating Frank, the music, not necessarily the man, should be part of a mandatory test for those seeking political office.
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
Its witchcraft

And Ive got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do

cause its witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, its strictly taboo

When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to

Its such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
cause theres no nicer witch than you
