Локапалы не пропадут. (с) Лапы в одну сторону, крылья - в другую, а ты сидишь с хвостом. (с)
Обожаю эту змейсссу кошку.
И еще ей очень идет ее имя.
Eartha Kitt - I Want To Be Evil (Live 1962)
lyrics
* * *
I've posed for pictures with Iv'ry Soap,
I've petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
(I've petted stray dogs, and I never mope)
My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
But I'm noted most for my unspoiled gender
I've been made Miss Reingold, though I never touch beer,
(I've been named Miss Perseverance year after year,)
And I'm the person to whom they say, "Your sweet, My Dear."
The only etchings I've seen have been behind glass,
And the closest I've been to a bar, is at ballet class.
Prim and proper, the girl who's never been cased,
I'm tired of being pure and not chased.
Like something that seeks it's level
I wanna go to the devil.
Refrain
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies
I want to wake up in the morning
with that dark brown taste
I want to see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more that that I wanna be bad
I wanna be evil, and trump an ace,
Just to see my partner's face.
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
And in the theatre
I want to change my seat
Just so I can step on
Everybody's feet
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
(I want to be horrid, I want to make news)
And whatever I've got I'm eager to lose
I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be

Eartha Kitt - Just an Old Fashioned Girl (Live 1962)
lyrics
I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind
Not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind.
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire.
I want an old fashioned car, a cerise Cadillac,
Long enhough to put a bowling alley in the back.
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire.
I'll stay weaving at my loom,
Be no trouble to my groom,
If he'll keep the piles of money mounting.
In our cottage there will be
A soundproof nursery
Not to wake the baby while I'm counting.
I like the old fashioned flowers, violets are for me -
Have them made in diamonds by the man at Tiffany.
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire.
I'm just a pilgrim at heart, oh so pure and genteel.
Watch me in Las Vegas while I'm at the spinning wheel!
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire.
I'll ask for such simple things when my birthday occurs:
Two appartment buildings that are labelled 'Hers' and 'Hers'.
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire.
I like Chopin and Bizet
And the songs of yesterday,
String quartets and Polonesian carols.
But the music that excels
Is the sound of oil wells
As they slurp, slurp, slurp into the barrels.
Our little home will be quaint as an old parasol,
And instead of carpet I'll have money wall to wall.
I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence
And an old fashioned millionaire.

Eartha Kitt - Mink, Schmink
lyrics
A friend of mine called me up not long ago
He knew me since I was knee high to a grasshopper
But I evidently didn't give him the right answer
because he said to me:
Mink Schmink, Money Schmoney
Think your hot now don't ya honey.
What have you got if you haven't got love
Silk Schmilk, Satin Schmatin
A penthouse high in old Manhattan
That's not enough if you haven't got love
Happiness is not a thing that you can buy
It takes loving, lotsa loving, from the right guy
Pearls Schmearls, ermine Shmermen
From Jim or Jack or Joe or Herman
That's not enough if you haven't got love
Ring Schming, Jewellery Schmellery
Don't you know that's just Tom Foolery
What have you got if you haven't got love
Cars Schmars and Princes Schminces
With caviar and chicken blintzes
Don't mean a thing if you haven't got love
Love is just a simple thing that you can't buy
You can't get it wholesale darlin', why try?
Tips Schmips, Angle Schmangle
Play around and get entangled
What have you got if you haven't got, haven't got love?
I'll take the jaguar on the right
Eartha Kitt - Lazy Afternoon
Eartha Kitt - Lazy Afternoon
It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view but us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
In the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trouts stop leaping upstream
As we dream
A far pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet
'Cept for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me

Eartha Kitt - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Eartha Kitt - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
They ask me how I knew
My true love was true
I ofcourse reply
Something inside
Cannot be denied
They said some day you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them
And I gayly laughed
To think they could doubt
To think they could doubt my love
But today
My love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
But today my love has flown away
I am without
I'm without my love
And now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Eartha Kitt - This is my life
Eartha Kitt - This is my life
This is my life
You
You can walk out the door
Thinking you won the war
But I'm not keeping score
Me
I am used to the game
Win or lose it's the same
So I'd lost, what a shame
Stop thinking you are number one
You threw the dice and then I won
You never had a chance with me
And that's not hard to see
Each time you played a trick on me
I gave in to you happily
Knowing I had the upper hand
So understand
This is my life, what can I do?
I can do very well without you
Without your sneer, without your smile
Without your arms and your awful idea
This is my life, what can I do?
I can do it alright without you
This is my life and mine alone
And if you leave, I can live on my own
You
Think you made a clean break
Left me for your own sake
So you won't feel it again
Me
I can watch you depart
With no piece of my heart
With no pain, just a smile
I'd love to say I told you so
But what's the use, you'll never know
How many times I tried in vain to keep away the pain
Start thinking you are in my past
The two of us could never last
This love of ours was not planned, so understand
This is my life, what can I do?
I can do very well without you
Without your smile, without your sneer
Without your arms and your awful idea
This is my life, what can I do?
I can do it alright without you
This is my life and mine alone
And if you leave, I can live on my own
This is my life, what can I do?
I can do very well without you
Without your smile, without your sneer
Without your arms and your awful idea
This is my life, what can I?
This is my life, what can I?
This is my life, what can I?
This is my life, what can I?
This is my life, what can I?
Eartha Kitt - Ain't Misbehavin'
Eartha Kitt - Ain't Misbehavin'
Lyrics by Andy Razaf
Music by Thomas "Fats" Waller and Harry Brooks
No one to talk with,
All by myself,
No one to walk with,
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin',
I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain,
The one I love,
I through with flirtin',
It's just you I'm thinkin' of.
Ain't misbehavin',
I'm savin' my love for you
Like Jack Horner in the corner
Don't go no where,
What do I care,
Your kisses are worth waitin' for
Be-lieve me
I don't stay out late,
Don't care to go,
I'm home about eight,
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin',
I'm savin' my love for

31.01.2012 в 01:13вот это да!!!
как я до сих пор прожила, ничего о ней не зная?!!
особенно третья песня вынесла
а нет ещё чего-нибудь серьёзного? я понимаю, что у неё дар комической актрисы, но голос - гораздо больше! Он уникальный и трагический!
К сожалению, четвёртая запись и по качеству неважная, и, видимо, пела она уже немолодой.
А как её имя в русской транскрипции?
В общем, спасибище огромное!!!
-
-
31.01.2012 в 01:37В русской Вики ее имя транскрибируют просто как Эрта Китт. Не мудрствуя лукаво, в общем
Я в ней тоже вижу сильное трагедийное начало, да.
Такое мощное трагическое бунтарство, как глубинное течение под ярким комическим даром.
Сумасшедшая смесь кровей, история происхождения - по-бытовому страшная и эпическая, та еще... хижина дяди Тома (ну если верить английской Вики).
Она блюзы пела иногда, вот тут есть:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPYVlUV_xk4&feature=rel...
(там начальные кадры из - как это?.. - Бэтменианы? (она там играла Женщину-Кошку), а потом собственно блюз).
Еще я знаю, что она была актрисой кабаре, играла на Бродвее.
А, вот еще что:

Вообще, если тебе интересно, я попробую нарыть альбомы
