This tune was always playing in my house as a kid, but Oscar Peterson's version, so no lyrics 😂. My mother would definitely have been as offended as Esperanza, lol. Love how they interpreted this tune, musically and lyrically...brilliant musicians!
Fred is brilliant as always. She comes off as a smug hipster. Don’t do the tune if it’s not up to your evolved standards. The mockery isn’t amusing. She’s also not much of a singer.
I'll probably outlive you- "mate"- but wishing death on someone who doesn't share your tastes says everything there is to say about you. And have the courage to post comments using your real name- or crawl back under your rock and stay there.@@polar3849
If it’s a skit, it’s not funny. And I’ll bet there’s a bunch of people who share my opinion; I just don’t mind expressing mine- even knowing some troll will venture out from under the bridge to condemn it. Not you, sir. But I notice a comment actually wishing me death for said opinion has been removed. Anonymous, of course. Fred can do anything he wants; his career is exemplary. I think she’s overrated- but she’s young, so who knows? Just my opinion…
@@danoloaneI couldn't disagree more. I think she's a delight. I love her monologues. This one is different from the one on the recording. I think she's a natural and an original, and that she probably improvises some of her stuff. In any case, she's brilliant.
@@danoloaneMy criterion is simple: she's a great entertainer. Gertrude Lawrence, a very different performer, wasn't much of a singer, and I've never been spellbound by her, but millions of people were. I could do without Ethel Merman, always, but the songwriters loved her and so did audiences. Esperanza Spalding is what I'd call an "eccentric" singer, as the great Shirley Booth was. I love them both. I just do not get your indignation about her supposed disrespect for the song. It's from 1966, an extremely different time. Why shouldn't she have fun with the anachronistic - and brilliant - lyrics?

Definitely I prefer Oscar
Amazing artists, out of common...love you Fred!
Pretty please do a collab with Samara Joy!?
LOL

As they say “ beauty is in the eye of the beholder ‘ . I’m your viewpoint isn’t shared by many. It’s a skit.
