Lyrics
What's cute about little cutie
It's her beauty, not brains
Old father time will never harm you
If your charm still remains
After you grow old, baby
Keep young and beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
If you're wise exercise all the fat off
Take it off, off of here, off of there
When you'er seen anywhere
With you hat off
Wear a marcel wave in your hair
Take care of all those charms
And you'll always be in someone's arms
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
If you're wise exercise all the fat off
Take it off, off of here, off of there
When you'er seen anywhere
With you hat off
Wear a marcel wave in your hair
Keep young and beautiful
It's your duty to be beautiful
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved
Boopie doo, ah

What is interesting is how someone so gorgeous was making a comment about beauty standards and how they affected women in that decade. Annie is a trailblazer.
Damn, that's an unsettling song!
shes a musical genius.
This is a song from 1933
She's an angel, the message being we all die in the end. Humorous, absurd...nicely done Annie!
I first heard this song in the closing credits of a Daria episode.
mblack713 For me, it was Julian Clary!
The Lost Girls
I'm here for the same reason
I'm here for that reason too.
@@andrewthornhill7042 same here 2021 lol
I remember when Annie released this cover of the 1930's hit..and she was ripped apart for sending the wrong message. I believe she was poking fun at that attitude, of having to be young and thin and perfect to be loved....and she did a great job. Annie Lennox, of all the major musicians, I believe would be the last to actually believe that message.
Damn right she would not believe it!
Some people forgot to turn on their sarcasm detectors.
I agree, its a kind of satire.
It was a joke and silly song in 1933s!!! Gawd, just because it's old doesn't mean it's serious! LOL
Of course this was "tongue in cheek". A song from 1930.
I've always felt that Lennox is someone who could have been a great vocal star in just about any era. I can't say that about everyone, even some artists I like. She's a chameleon. Most of us first encountered her with bright orange hair, droning over synthesized beats, but that was about a specific time and context. She could do so many other things...and, obviously, has. A big revelation for me, shortly before this Diva track, was her "Every Time We Say Goodbye" on that Cole Porter AIDS benefit album.
What amazes me that I have watched movies made in the early 1930-1940 of women singing and Annie did a splendid job in this video reenacting The motion,movement,and most of all the voice of pre-traying this video of being in that time and Generation...Just another Master piece by Annie Lennox...
Just an FYI -- early '30s. By 1935, styles in music, hair, fashions, and film-acting were very different. (I watch a lot of 1930s and 1940s movies.)
As if you needed wings, baby, you're an angel!
She certainly has the voice covered.
Daria + Annie Lennox = Epic
A tremendously loyal and authentic (if quite cheeky) cover of a period “vaudeville” artifact. Well done as always, Annie!
Side note: this little cabaret number sounds like the kind of song Freddie Mercury loved to create during Queen’s 70’s heyday. But I doubt he could have persuaded the band to go along with this one. 😉❤️
Oop ee doop, ah! Isn’t it “fitting” I first notice her striking beauty and poise in this already 20 year old clip. Very much in line with the lyrics pointed jab that she even need to. Always looked up to her and still do. Mostly for her strong voice and vision, her drive but everything about her exudes a maturity, wisdom, perseverance, determination, clarity and grace, an inner beauty... Love her! ❤️
Annie will always be beautiful!
I remember hearing this song when I was about six years old and getting really angry, because at the time I was too young to understand satire. Now it's one of my favorite covers by Annie.
You were already like that at only 6 years old? Yikes. Someone filled your head with hate.
@@zaphraud Hardly. The lines "It's your duty to be beautiful" and "Keep young and beautiful if you want to be loved" struck me as profoundly unfair. For a child with no understanding of satire, I'd say that points to a strong sense of justice, not hatred.
@@porcelaintree you're just making my point for me. Most six year old children are fill of love and wonder at the world and aren't worried about adult concepts that sound fair and good on paper but create the emotion of "angry" instead and end up with cities burning instead of real progress. Just saying. Love and light! ❤
@@zaphraud Aren't many of so called adult concepts just a social constructs including adultism which keep changing depending on a specific socioecological environment (pan troglodytes proactive political games over status, fertile females and offspring compared to pan paniscus (bonobo) prosociality for promotion of group stability regardless of age and gender). Or human society after the agricultural/pastoral revolution leading to competitive possessiveness over private property (marriage, amatonormativity), inheritance, fertility cults and maximization of birth rates regardless of ideologies such as antinatalism based on consent. Not sure about Trobrianders, Kaluli, Big Namba, Arapesh, Sambia people, Etoro, Ache, Gebusi, !Kung San, Mosuo and all the extinct undocumented more or less egalitarian hunter-gatherer societies with different effects on epigenetic expression. Obedience to abstract laws and authorities in general population due to self-domestication syndrome according to the Goodness Paradox alongside the inter-male competition leading to clandestine behaviour (cooperation maintenance hypothesis) is another factor.
@@uvwuvw-ol3fg yeah. the only good neighborhood left in the solar system is the Moon.
Lennox is most definitely young and beautiful x x x x
Happy birthday, Annie!
My new favourite song from the Diva album 🖤🖤🖤
Annie having wicked fun!
LOVE YOU Annie! Your music and talent will remain with me forever, thank you.
Yes!! I had the SAME reaction when I first heard it! Annie plays the irony and sarcasm in the song's statement very well! :)
Los videos de Sophie Muller son simplemente joyas.
Me and my dad and dancing in the car because of this 😁
Cool 😎
Remember Annie is a very strong woman and she's just singing this as a joke, 😆
lol. i love how this song takes a giant dump on all standards of modern society. the lyrics are sinister, but that's what makes it so fun.
Nah, I'll settle for comfortable!! I heard it and knew she was being a tad bit facetious...
She is a wonderment! Gifted, and she reminds me of the late great Marlena Dietrich in her youth, she does! Timeless...
Thank whomever so much...
A tune pops into this ancient brain and poof...there's Annie! Or whomever...
Like a 3 spins for a nickel; diner, table jukebox! Jez, kidding... but she amazes me, the many facets. Divine songwriter & voice...I admire her...!
Namaste 🙏
nice 20es song but Annie can bring anything back ,with her voice & show business style
Not the 1920s -- it's clearly from the early 1930s (I listen to a lot of music from the 1920s and 1930s).
When in doubt, look it up -- and, please use your brain always, bc if you don't it will turn to mush, and mush-brained people elect "leaders" who are so incompetent that they're failing during the pandemic and killings hundreds of 1000s of people (the US, Brazil). So using your brain is really a matter of life and death!
I like this cute song very much!
I love this song!
Ohh, Yeah, love her, love her style of music!
You Go Girl !!!
First time I heard this song was in a documentary about women's history. I couldn't find the version used in that film but I dig this Annie Lenox version. Just goes to show the pressure for women to always be 'perfect' isn't new.
A Musical Masterpiece... ReCaptured in time!
timeless!! We need this masterpiece in 4k too!! c'mon oil factory!! its more than 30 years!!! we are waiting!!!
Sarcasm at it's vety best. 🤣 Well done Annie Lennox
Love this version by Annie Lennox. She always adds Style Taste & Class to everything.
what a amazing masterpiece this is annie you are a beautiful soul great song writer emotional voice nice piercing eyes shes quite lovely a legend goddess and icon
She's charming!
A short while ago, I was listening to this song on the Diva CD.
she's so pretty jesus christ
Love you eternal Annie. See you in Heaven babe!!!
😃 And you’re spotless ~ xxx…
@silentalarmactivated I kinda think that this song was supposed to be sarcastic in the first place... But it is nice to see that cleverly written old songs are still relevant in today's society.
I'm told that her producers felt she was "too old", so this was her middle finger to them.
my mum uesed to sing me this song when i was little :D
A+
Happy Birthday Annie Lennox
♫♪ Don't fail to do your stuff with a little powder and a puff! ♫♪
Too Too Too divine....!
Beautiful,
From the 1933 Eddie Cantor musical ROMAN SCANDALS which included a 22 year old Lucy Ball in her m.p. debut
Annie Lennox
My mom used to play this song in the car when I was like 4-5 years old. I used to cry because I disliked the slow beginning. I always loved 'Walking On Broken Glass'. :)
***** slut shaming women on an Annie Lennox video, now that's what I call ironic
Don't worry, Vanessa Feltz on BBC radio 2 uses this song for the starting and ending for her early breakfast show.
Mentiría si digo que no me encanta esta canción.
It came on shuffle last night while I was working. (Loud) I haven't heard this song in a long time. I had to stop and listen (Kurt) Vonnegut-style: "finding [...] reason enough to feel honored to be alive, no matter what else might be going on."
If ya wise, exacise all the fattoff.
Ms. Lennox gets to showcase her great talent here. Let us all try to live our lives seeking the divine goodness in everyone we meet. Whether we are conventionally lovely to behold, or not, everyone brings gifts to the table, the great feast of life. It is in this seeking that we find at last a level playing field in the dignity of the human person. Yes, the lyrics of the song are a silly and potentially dangerous message. I grew up listening to, and taking great joy in, songs like "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer." I understood on some level, even as a small child, that these songs are about a conditional love borne of an impossible legalism to surmount. And they are in principle sad in that they are holiday melodies just in time for Christmas, which ironically and more happily celebrates the birth of one who understood us and loves us unconditionally. I am truly thankful that my parents loved me enough that I never felt that I couldn't cry before Christmas, lest their gifts to me would be withdrawn; or, like the reindeer in the story, you have to perform well all the time and set the world on fire in order to be accepted. When I persevere in seeking the good in another, I love him or her with a nod to the divine. In that space I am blessed, and most happy. May we all spend the day seeking the divine in our brothers and sisters. Love to all!
The song is only dangerous to people who aren't deep thinkers. Children are the most beautiful in the world. Their spirits are light and hatred hasn't been learned yet. They see the world as a huge magical place and are easily delighted and entertained. Many religious texts state we are to remain childlike in this regard, taking delight in each other and the gifts the world offers us. So to stay young and beautiful is almost a religious duty! XD
Well said! I did say "potentially" dangerous. And I agree that it would be dangerous only for people who don't think deeply, in the sense that perhaps they don't have any historical reference to the song, which is quite possible; also that they might be infected with an overdose of political correctness, which takes away all the wonderment and gratitude in life, because one is left with no sense of humor. I can only say that I'm glad that I was infected with the germ of humor from an early age. Happy new year!
speechless!
This burlesque act still works today! The entire industries of beauty and fitness are still banking/preying on our insecurity. Also the wonders of plastic surgery: you literally can take a bit of fat here or there and likewise put it back here or there....
It's Your Duty To Be Beautiful, that's right gurls
omg can you imagine?
I love that cover.
Delightful!!
Una voz y una personalidad impresionantes que solo se han enriquecido con los años.
This is GREAT!!
I LIKE THE SONG BY HER AND EDDIE CANTOR CLASSIC SONG
I had this song on LP sister & I would play this song before a night out In Glasgow beautiful memory thank you Annie your the best much 💕😇🕊
Timothy Spall as Barry in Auf Wiedersehen Pet. This, and that, sheer class.
I love it
Cute...
Like yourself :)
Mitica
This original from 1933 seems to still represent american culture today, sad to say...but a fun song, nostalgically speaking!
Hating the message, is simply bitterness. Keep young an beautiful, is a good thing.
Hell, it's downright beautiful.
sencillamente FANTASTICA!!!!!!
YES!
DIVA was the last album I bought on Vinyl and this song was only on the CD-version! :)
sounds like a very old sond
Beautiful
Keep young and beautiful...
Slightly different version than the CD.
amazing voice :D
Annie the Angel :)
Deadly 🎉
Harry Warren (music) Al Dubin (lyrics) a great duo. Warren wrote many fabulous tunes and compares most favourably with other greats of the time - Gershwin, Berlin, Kern, Rodgers, Porter and others but Harry Warren remains my favourite. I’m ( a little) too young to remember them but a big thank you, Harry, and the rest of you
dee-liteful!
Loved it thank you
Fantastic Song! Personally I related to this to some degree! Kisses! Tarquin! X
The unofficial anthem of Vancouver's West End.
❤❤❤
Her laugh at 2:03 is like she's saying "Ahaha yeah right" to the entire philosophy of female eternal beauty and youth of the song. Love it.
brilliant. fuck beauty standards
Back in the 90’s my wife and I watched fashion runway shows. That was the first time I ever heard this song. Fantastic job, Annie!
шикарно !
The song is from the 1930s Eddie Cantor musical called Roman Scandals. Annie does an excellent cover version. Search the song on RUclips and check out the original Eddie Cantor version because it is excellent also. The song was written by Harry Warren. Eddie sings in in blackface so that will go people something else to gripe and moan about. Knowledgeable people understand blackface was a tribute to the great black singers of the time, not a racist act. Read, learn, and then talk.
sad! but true
This is sheer genius. The original from 1933 was sung by a men's chorus and sounded absurdly sexist. This rendition hilariously points out the faulty logic.
In the movie Roman Scandals, they upped the ante by having the main vocal (a man) in blackface with two choruses for backing, segregated into a white chorus and a black chorus. There was literally nothing about it that wasn't 100% awful. The understated critique here is impressive, because Lennox manages to take everything wrong with the original to task in a really understated by obvious way. It's...eerie and haunting and very, very clever.
@@kelincihutan4739 You can't use current social attitudes to judge the past. Blackface at the time was not seen as a racial insult. The man in black face , Eddie Cantor, was a popular performer of his time and many of the great black entertainers of that time, out of respect, went to his funeral.The chorus was segregates because in the old confederated states it wasn't accepted and the scenes with black dances had to be edited out. After all movies are a business and they have to make money plus it was the depression and making money wasn't easy.
After the US civil war black music troops proved very popular and there wasn't enough good black entertainers to meet demand. These black musical troops had to recruit white singers to make up the numbers and blacked them up to fit the stories. So began a tradition. The first black American Minstrel troops proved so popular when they arrived in Britain they also had to recruit locals to make up numbers. Their costumes with striped trousers with top hat was based on Uncle Sam, ie for the Union army.
@@binaway Blackface was used as an excuse not to hire black actors, which it was criticized for at the time. And if The Lone Ranger managed to have a POC as one of only two main characters on a TV budget and during the 40s, at the height of segregation, then I really don't think a production from the MGM forerunner has any excuses here. And, as is widely pointed out, having black friends is not proof someone is nor racist.
Even if I took your comment to be correct, and I don't, that would only make the film an example of how terrible things have been so recently. And that, perhaps, history is not going to be very forgiving about equivocation on the personhood of any human beings.
@@kelincihutan4739 Lucille Ball is seen as one of the slave girls!
Unless you’re a gay man.
14 dislikes well, I think song was done well. But Annie Lennox is ok in my opinion she's not my favorite but she sang this song this well.
It's from the 1933 movie Roman Scandals. Sung by Eddie Canter. A young Lucille Ball appears as one of the dancing girls . A song with a similar name from the movie, The Great Gatsby, is mentioned in the comments below but that's a completely different song.
I think it fits perfectly on the album. A funny little track, but the video could have been much better.
I cracked up laughing when I first heard this song - It's fantastic! It's whimsical, very Annie, but makes a very interesting statement. And by god it's catchy ^_^
I heard this song groing up in the 70s and the title saying which became a maxim . I had no idea it was satirical, im not sure it was. Seems sound advice still.
11 people don't are young and beautiful x)
Have a great night tomorrow what a wonderful thing to do i knew you could'nt retire it just would'nt be fair"Falling in love again:i never wanted to but;what am i to do i can't help it.
Fair play
HAHAHAHA...YEAH LOVE IT!!!
I just love this version. Keeps to the original 20s sound yet manages to show up just how stupid the statements in it are. But then Annie Lennox is more than the churned out XFactor singer that passes for talent in the music industry nowadays, she's got a brain.
