Somethin' Stupid

What, what song are you thinking?

So like just like off the top of my head, like Something Stupid, her harmonies sound really good with Sam.

Or like, um-

Yeah

Then afterwards we'll drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two.

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you".

I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lies you heard the night before.

And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true, it never seemed so right before.

But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late, and I'm alone with you.

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red, and oh, the night's so blue.

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you".

[música alegre] I can see it in your eyes that you despise the same old lies you heard the night before.

Mm.

When you Google Nancy something, it says, "You are likely thinking of Something Stupid, the 1967 hit duet recorded by Frank and Nancy Sinatra."

Nancy something.

Oh, okay.

I hit the ground.

And of course, yeah, there's, there's Something Stupid, the, the song she recorded with her obscure father.

[laughs]

It was used really well in a montage on Better Call Saul a few years ago.

I can't believe I forgot about that.

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place and have a drink or two.

And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I love you.

I'm really impressed by somebody who just, like, in a few years, like, just managed to come up with so many things that have just aged so well, regardless of what Ben thinks of her voice.

In late 1966, Nancy's single Friday's Child reached number 36 on the Hot 100 chart.

In early 1967, Frank Sinatra had played C. Carson Parks' original recording of the song Somethin' Stupid to Lee Hazlewood.

Hazlewood reportedly loved the tune and told Frank, and I quote, "If you don't sing it with Nancy, I will." End quote.

Frank and Nancy's rendition was recorded at United Western Recorders in Hollywood on February 1st, 1967, with backing by session musicians from L.A.'s famed Wrecking Crew.

Lee Hazlewood and Jimmy Bowen were listed as the producers of the single, with the arrangement by Billy Strange.

The ballad Somethin' Stupid was issued in March 1967 by Reprise as a single by Nancy Sinatra and Frank Sinatra.

It subsequently appeared on Frank's album The World We Knew and on Nancy's album Sugar.

The single reached number one in the U.S. and the UK singles charts in April 1967.

With Boots.

No, with Frank, with Something Stupid.

Oh.

Ah, okay.

Yeah, so I have, if I can read from my little list, Walk Away, Renee, Cherish, Good Vibrations, I'm a Believer, Mellow Yellow, Kind of a Drag, Ruby Tuesday, Then Where Have All the Flowers Gone by Peter Cormier, Waste Deep in the Big Muddy, a Pete Seeger song, which Bruce Morrow didn't play on the radio as far as I know.

And anyway, we go on to Turn, Turn, Turn, I Dig Rock World Music, Penny Lane, Happy Together, For What It's Worth, Something Stupid, just to give you an idea.

All the songs.

So you had
