You might know this song in its versions by Eartha Kitt, Kylie, Madonna or Marilyn Monroe (who never sang it), but my favourite is by Winger (no, not the hair metal band Winger). Not only is it played on ukulele, it has uke-adapted lyrics – so this is the version I’ve written up.
The version thought to be Marilyn is by the actress and jazz crooner, Cynthia Basinet in ‘97. Check her site (www.cynthiabasinet.com) or iTunes.
