      Edit: I revoke my statement, only the intro was cheddar! Everything else was superb.

    I wish there was a song list for this video!
    Soo, here's what I found:
    Sell Me! (Eartha Kitt)
    Mad About the Boy (Eartha Kitt)
    My Heart Belongs to Daddy (Eartha Kitt)
    "Mas que nada" & "O Pato"
    (Sergio Mendez and Brasil '66 ) No clue about the third one, although it sounds familiar
    Just an Old-Fashioned Girl (Eartha Kitt) My favorite of this list
    C'mon A My House! (Eartha Kitt)
    Uska Dara? (Eartha Kitt)
    I Want to be Evil (Eartha Kitt)
    Santa Baby (You Know Who ;))
    C'est si bon (Eartha Kitt)
    One-note Samba (Sergio Mendez Brasil '66 AND Eartha Kitt) my second favorite :)
    Day Tripper (Sergio Mendez Brasil '66 AND Eartha Kitt)
    When the World was Young (Eartha Kitt) ♡

    She should have had a variety show like Judy Garland. There should have been at least one movie made about her life. This was some cool shit back then...and still is if you are old enough to know what is truly cool.

    • @kapple654
      @kapple654 10 місяців тому

      ​@@MegaUsed in the instance of high art, theatre, comedy and my culture sorry but yes its very important to express quality over imitation. Eartha kitt was probably one of the ten greatest female performers of the last century. where as fey and Poehler and every mediocrity that helped decimate western theatre and arts completely (and was rammed down our threat by force for the last two decades - resulting in the total destruction of western music and comedy - for political purpose) are not just benign failures. they are malignant in their association to kitt through the sheer classification of their profession. and its important to make a distinction between them.
      thanks for stating the obvious but I realise that one can give a compliment without giving an insult and one can give an insult without giving a compliment. to me this is a war on culture. so its absolutely imperative that I point out the difference between a woman (African American too!) who gave us decades and decades of a totally unique characterisation in which she put herself out there to get attacked and slandered as a 'crazy'.... and did not take anything away from anyone. but rather gave to so many of us in music, dance, comedy and acting and made men realise women could be as funny as men whilst being sexy - and BLACK. (orson Welles called her 'the most exciting woman in the world') and two people who got there on ingratiation, nepotism and slandering victims of genocide... as Tina fey did when she played a concentration camp guard in a Russian gulag where millions perished, singing a song about how the inmate were all violent, bad, deranged criminals. (can you imagine doing that about auschwitz!?) we now know that millions and millions of ppl who died in these gulags (which fey seems to think are a holiday - and that her doing so is all so funny) - were political prisoners and dissidents. they were totured, raped and worked to death as 'enemies of the state'.
      she is not funny because she has no moral backbone. unlike kitt who is a queen.
      she supported the US neo con war hawks invading 4 innocent countries and murdering millions of muslims and she then had the audacity to call herself left wing at home and witch hunt conservatives, libertarians and dissidents for being 'non politically correct'. truly becoming her gulag guard character in person.
      watching her and Poehler try and be funny at the oscars was like hearing nails down a blackboard or a paedo uncle at a wedding get up and talk about love. it just makes one want to throw a chair or something.
      I would die before I let people forget the worlds of difference between orson Welles and earth kitt and the likes of puppets for the establishment like fey and Poehler.
      yours truly signing off
