Cole Porter: Let's Misbehave

You could have a great career,

And you should;

Yes you should.

Only one thing stops you dear:

You're too good;

Way too good!

If you want a future, darlin',

Why don't you get a past?

'Cause that fateful moment's comin' at last...

We're all alone, no chaperone

Can get our number

The world's in slumber--let's misbehave!!!

There's something wild about you child

That's so contagious

Let's be outrageous--let's misbehave!!!

When Adam won Eve's hand

He wouldn't stand for teasin'.

He didn't care about those apples out of season.

They say that Spring means just one little thing to little lovebirds

We're not above birds--let's misbehave!!!

It's getting late and while I wait

My poor heart aches on

Why keep the breaks on? Let's misbehave!!!

I feel quite sure affaire d'amour

Would be attractive

While we're still active, let's misbehave!

You know my heart is true

And you say you for me care...

Somebody's sure to tell,

But what the heck do we care?

They say that bears have love affairs

And even camels

We're men and mammals--let's misbehave!!!

power: invite any one mammal to a one night stand while the song is playing and they will do their best to come.

I am not certain if Doug would have to follow through if he invited someone -- or how that someone would react to a ... "platonic" one night stand.

I believe he could play this song and not invite someone without problems, however he would have to watch his words for implicit invitations.

Hmmmm ...what would have been his thoughts on finding out?

"Meh, that would have been usefull in 7th grade ... but now?!?"?

I suppose Doug might try this if Maggie was under some sort of emotion-draining effect that can only be broken by feeling strong emotion, and he'd used "I'll Play for You" to limit the effect to just her... but I suspect he loves his wife too much to use the song even in those conditions. So, one for the "Do Not Play" list.

But Bob might say otherwise...

shame, I'm sure he would like this performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54iR0xFkEfQ

Although I've played with the idea of Doug breaking his vow of fidelity once (and only once) in the Walk in a moment of weakness and need, it certainly wouldn't be this way. Yeah, it's on the "Do Not Play" list.

The generic "any mammal" condition I also find borderline squicky.

For the same reason, I didn't suggest either the Carl Perkins or Beatles versions of http://www.rockabillyhall.com/songscarl.html]Everybody's Trying to be My Baby as a power song, even though that song doesn't go quite as far as Let's Misbehave does...

You could, arguably, add the Bloodhound Gang's "Discovery Channel" to the list of squicky, "Do Not Play" songs.
