Description:
Tribute a Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes. Bette Davis Eyes" is the name of a popular song, best known for being performed by Kim Carnes. The song was written in 1974 by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon. DeShannon recorded the song that same year on her album New Arrangement. But it was not until 1981, when Carnes recorded her version of the song, that it became a success. It spent nine non-consecutive weeks on top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (interrupted for one week by the "Stars on 45 Medley"), and over eight million copies of the album on which the song appeared, Mistaken Identity, were sold. The single went on to become the highest seller of the year and won the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. The song was also a number one hit in many countries, including Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Japan and Brazil, but achieved more moderate success in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number ten. The music video was directed by Russell Mulcahy. Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them for making her "a part of modern times." In 1981, she recorded the Jackie DeShannon and Donna Weiss song "Bette Davis Eyes". As the first single released from the album Mistaken Identity, it spent nine weeks at number one on the US singles charts and became a worldwide hit. The song's success propelled the album to Nº1 for four weeks. The single became the Nº1 song of 1981 and is second only to Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" as the biggest hit of the 1980s. The song earned both the Record of the Year and Song of the Year awards at the 1982 Grammys and Carnes was nominated for Best Pop Female. Ironically, "Bette Davis Eyes", written in 1974, was originally rejected by Carnes. It was only after a new instrumental arrangement was done by Bill Cuomo that Carnes agreed to record the song and it became a huge hit. Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them. Davis wrote to Carnes after the song was released and stated that she was very pleased with the song as it made her seem very up-to-date with her grandson. She had Carnes sing the song live for her at a tribute held just before her death. Her hair is Harlow gold, Her lips sweet surprise Her hands are never cold She's got Bette Davis eyes She'll turn her music on You won't have to think twice She's pure as New York snow She got Bette Davis eyes And she'll tease you She'll unease you All the better just to please you She's precocious And she knows just what it Takes to make a pro blush She got Greta Garbo Stand off sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes She'll let you take her home It whets her appetite She'll lay you on her throne She got Bette Davis eyes She'll take a tumble on you Roll you like you were dice Until you come out blue She's got Bette Davis eyes She'll expose you When she snows you Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you She's ferocious And she knows just what it Takes to make a pro blush All the boys Think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes And she'll tease you She'll unease you All the better just to please you She's precocious And she knows just what it Takes to make a pro blush All the boys Think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes. **************************** Su cabello es dorado como el de la Harlow Sus labios, dulce sorpresa Sus manos nunca están frías Tiene los ojos de Bette Davis Ella encenderá su música para ti No tendrás que pensarlo dos veces Es pura como la nieve de Nueva York Tiene los ojos de Bette Davis Te fastidiará No te dejara tranquilo Todo lo mejor solo para complacerte Es precoz Y sabe exactamente que hacer Para hacerte sonrojar Tiene el aire retraído como el de Greta Garbo Tiene los ojos de Bette Davis Dejará que la lleves a casa Humedece su apetito Te recostará en el trono Tiene los ojos de Bette Davis Se dejará caer sobre ti Te hará rodar como a un dado Hasta que te pongas azul Tiene los ojos de Bette Davis Te expondrá Cuando te agobie Es para alimentarte con las migajas que te arroje Es feroz Y sabe exactamente que hacer Para hacerte sonrojar Todos los chicos piensan que es una espía Tiene los ojos de Bette Davis Te fastidiará No te dejara tranquilo Todo lo mejor solo para complacerte Es precoz Y sabe exactamente que hacer Para hacerte sonrojar Todos los chicos piensan que es una espía Tiene los ojos de Bette Davis
