one of my favorite songs is 'Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered'. David Bowie used it as the intro to his album Diamond Dogs, and when my mom heard it, she told me about the song and sang it to me. I remember that like it happened yesterday. Every time I hear it I think of her.

My mother used to sing me this one all the time. Oh crap, now it's in my head. Grrrr.

i didn't know bowie covered that! it's a great old song. i listen to a lot of romantic stuff from the 30s-50s, probably because it feels like home to me -- mom used to listen to a local radio station that played a hodge-podge of old music. no doubt they had it all on 45s!

I'm off to look up the Bowie version of that song. I had no idea. Sinatra was good and Streisand, not bad but you can't beat Ella!!!

It's so special when parents give us those sides of themselves in those moments. I know I will always keep those little things about my mom in my heart.

What a lovely story.

When I was growing up, we had a piano and some books of Broadway tunes. "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" was one of the ones I learned, and loved to sing.

"I'm wild again, beguiled again, a simpering, whimpering child again..."

A few weeks ago I'd have said they don't write songs like that anymore. Then along came Dr. Horrible...

I fell in love with that song when Rod Stewart did it. I think I've only heard it by Rod and Ella, though. May have to check out Bowie's.
