windy1 Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 Allright y'all. My daughter has just called me with a question. Who all can you think of that's done the duet? She heard it on the radio, on a pop station, and it's not the new (gag) Jessica Simpson one. She says at the end the girl kind of hiccups the lyrics. I told her I'd throw it out for you guys. Can you help? ::
_jr_ Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 Well now, you know I'm up on all of today's music.
windy1 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Posted November 25, 2004 Yeah, I know me too. I don't think it's real recent, the station plays an "eclectic mix". Whatever that is. C'mon who? Anyone. Didn't Janet Gaynor and Bing do the original? It could be anyone. She's gonna be calling me, help! Come to think of it, I do like the song. Now it's stuck in my head!
bluesboy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 off the top of my head I'd say Ella and Bing no, maybe Ella and Louis Jordan?
windy1 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Posted November 25, 2004 Was that the original bluesboy? I can accept that. Sounds reasonable to me. Does Ella hiccup? I don't think that is her vesion. Anyone else? You don't know my daughter. Since her accident(not being funny here) she gets on a tangent about stuff like this. she's not going to let up. Really.
bluesboy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 I just got done listening to it and she doesn't hiccup, so wrong version here's 4 pages of choices
bluesboy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 I don't know the answer there's lots of choices how about Petula Clark and Rod McKuen? Bette Midler and James Caan? Bebe Neuwith and John Lithgow? Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban? Vanessa Williams and Bobby Caldwell? Pearl Bailey and Hot Lips Page? Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme? Dinah Shore and Buddy Clark? Phil Harris and Alice Faye? Windy, maybe tell her to go online to the radio station site and see if you can click to the playlists
windy1 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Posted November 25, 2004 Oh my stars! I knew there were a lot but I thought maybe something would stick out in someone's mind. I didn't want to have to listen to all of them. I'll go the radio website route, that sounds good.
bluesboy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 Those are only 30 seconds worth of each song anyway. or how about downloading from Kazaa
Earth-Angel Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 I'm very very sure it's this one by Lee Ann Womack and Harry Connick jr Windy! Here's the link to the soundclip.
windy1 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Posted November 25, 2004 Oohh angel, maybe that's it. Can't tell if she hiccups, but it's a good version, and worth checking out. That would be the type music they play. I Love Harry Connick Jr. anyways. He's hot! Very sexy voice. Thank you, and have a Happy Nov. 25th!! ::
Earth-Angel Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 Carole, I listened to another clip of it but didn't take down the address and she was definitely 'hiccuppy' ::
kiwc106fm Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 Had to respond to the "Jessica Simpson (Nick Lachey)" version. I actually think it's great! It's a really good updated version of the original 'Frank Loesse' song recorded for the motion picture "Neptune's Daughter" I believe it was recorded by 'Johnny Mercer And Margaret Whiting'. I did not see that duo in the list of replies, don't think there are any hiccups in it though!
windy1 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Posted December 9, 2004 Thank you I will check that out! Nice to meetcha! ::
vincegillstwin Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Best version: Jane Monheit and Steve Tyrell Worst: Dolly Parton and Rod Stewart
Gracie Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting sang the version that made the song popular, the one your daughter heard was probably this one or the one done by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. (both are great )
PSYCHOcatholic Posted December 20, 2004 Report Posted December 20, 2004 I just watched the movie Elf with Youth tonight...I thought it was pretty cool the way they were singing it. He was sitting on the counter, and she was in the shower singing like Doris Day(who sang it with Bing Crosby)! Yeah, thats when i decided to check this song out.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted December 21, 2004 Report Posted December 21, 2004 CORRECTION! Doris Day and Bing Crosby NEVER sang Baby It's Cold Outside together...It was Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting. No matter what you read, Bing and Doris never sang it.
skipdisc Posted December 23, 2004 Report Posted December 23, 2004 The only version I know is by Ray Charles and Betty Carter from '62 on ABC-Paramount
windy1 Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Posted December 25, 2004 Thank You to all!! I have checked out all, and others besides, and burned an entire cd of Baby It's Cold Outside for my daughter's stocking, as a joke. Guess what? The one she heard was there! I cannot remember which one it was, and we were sooo tired of hearing that song. But all of a sudden, there it was! Let me tell you, we can do a he** of a duet on that song now! I have to be the guy. ::
araknid78 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 I just saw the movie "Neptune's Daughter" the other night. It is the movie where "Baby It's Cold Outside" was first heard. It's actually kind of amusing as the scene takes place in Southern Cailfornia in mid-summer. It was first sung in the movie by Ricardo Montalban and Esther Williams in a scene where she is trying to convince him to leave her sister alone. She wants to leave; he wants her to stay. When they finish there is an immediate cut-away to Red Skelton and Betty Garret (playing Esther's sister) singing the song. He wants to leave; she wants him to stay. It's a hilarious juxtaposition of the roles. The movie was released in 1949 and that same year Johnny Mercer and Margaret Whiting released the first recording of the song to be played on the radio. Zillions of performers have done it, including Zooey Deschanel and Leon Redbone during the end credits of "Elf". She also sings it with Will Ferrel in the movie while she's in the shower. Funny scene. She doesn't know he's there. But, I think JM/MW version is the best. My two cents.
straycat Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 I am looking for the artist (remake i think) of Baby it's Cold outside. I know there are alot of remakes but this one has the girl hickupping alot in the song...
The Seeker Posted October 26, 2006 Report Posted October 26, 2006 There's a remake by Jessica Simpson, that might be the one you mean. I've never heard it though.
