Wives & Lovers – Dionne Warwick

posted January 7th by DirtyDanSin

Just because I love it.

Wikipedia says: “Today, the lyrics are considered chauvinist and predatory, but this song was some kind of anthem for the urban male of the Kennedy Era. The imagery of the song seemed to had come out from the pages of the Playboy Magazine of the early sixties.”

Seemed to had come out from the pages? Really? Hal David could write circles around you, wikiperson.

    Oo! I love this song too!

    I have only ever heard the Vic Damone recording – which is even more chauvinistic. I dig the dorky dancers though.
