I remember seeing an interview with a very frail, but still sharp, Bette Davis who was asked what she thought of this song and she paused for a moment and then said, "Well I'm glad they didn't choose to sing about any other part of my anatomy!"
I really like the song. But this is a great example of the uselessness of music videos, as the visual adds NOTHING to the audio, only detracts from enjoying the song.

Love it.
So incredibly different from Jackie DeShannon's original.

My first 45 I ever bought was "Crazy in the Night" from Kim Carnes. My second was "Glory Days" from Bruce Springsteen. For those keeping the records.
Oh, I remember her! Thanks, Patti - a unique voice and style.
I like this song quite a lot.
