Is it fair to laugh at the coy raunchiness of Nancy Sinatra and friends who seem to have lost their trousers/pants/kilts? It all reminds me of a nightmare I used to have where I would find myself at a party in nothing but a sweater. Maybe I could have enjoyed the dream if I'd had a pair of patent leather bootees and a dance routine?
Oh Nancy, what an incredibly good-natured dominatrix you turned out to be!

Fabulously kittenish.

ReplyDeleteteaorwine I guess you're right! One must remember the context of the times. I still think poor old Nancy isn't really a natural. Good voice though.
ReplyDeleteOlivia, I agree but you can never get that innocence back, sadly.
Nancy seems really concerned about not revealing too much of her bottom - maybe that's why she seems so wooden. It's funny to see how natural the dancers' bodies looked at that time - now everyone is so toned and tight!

I couldn't agree more, Lana. Hooray for those soft curvy bodies!
ReplyDeleteknow every word to this one-learned them as a saucy 7 year old- saved this album from ruin as a teen. G
ReplyDeleteFantastic. But hard to believe she issued forth from the loins (well, cock, really) of Frank.
ReplyDeleteshe´s my hero!
ReplyDeletegot her LP here in the kitchen, with more clothes on, plus that big ole hair that makes me want to get the rollers out!
