Mad Lollipops
From martini to stilettos, I've always been a retro kind of girl. Which is why my favorite new show is Mad Men. Recently and inexplicably, I've had the 1962 song "Lollipops and Roses" and its antediluvian lyrics stuck in my head, so I thought I'd share it. Here's a dapper Jack Jones crooning the tune on Judy Garland's TV show. But I actually like the tune best as a jazz waltz, and would love to hear the refreshingly un-retro Manuel Valera swing it.
