      The Kim Carnes version is a cover too. Jackie Del Shannon wrote it in 1974 as a jazz song which is largely forgettable. Kim Carnes was the one that mate it a timeless classic. I don't mind Brendon's version either

He's got such a unique & distinctive voice, not to mention, did an awesome cover of this one Kim Carnes made a hit out of in the mid-80s.

    I've never clicked a video so fast. The first time I heard Kim Carnes singing this it was probs seven years ago, I was in the car with me Gran waiting for Dad at the gas station while on a two hour drive to the city. The intro was playing so softly I had to strain when that raspy voice came crooning out, I've listened to it a couple hundred times since. I associate it with my first conscious intro to the 80's, a musical decade I've come to love. So when I see my guy Brandon covering this I ... it just made me happy :)

    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's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes
    She'll let you take her home
    It whets her appetite
    She'll lay you on the 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
    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
