Jeez, now I'm trying to figure out which version is sexier. (I can picture some tired traveling businessman in a hotel bar one night putting some money in the machine to enjoy Julie and fellow femmes.)
XM's 40s channel (which in truth is a 30s/40s channel) often has songs that strike a chord, so to speak, from MGM, Warners or Paramount cartoons, and Bob Dylan actually played London's version of the song on his XM show last June, and closed it out with a reference to Tex Avery and Red!
As much as I enjoyed the Julie London version, when it comes to listening to the song nothing comes close to listening to Eartha Kitt with that sort of growly purring voice doing that song.
