I sorta know that one...it's a cover of a Smokey Robinson & Miracles classic from the 1960's.


But "Bette Davis Eyes" is probably her most popular recording.

Anyone else think she sounds like Rod Stewart when singing Bette Davis Eyes?

Did Weird Al Yankovic do a version of Bette Davis Eyes?

You might have a point there, krakboi.  ;D

I love 'Bette Davis Eyes' but I also like 'Invisible hands' and 'Crazy in the night'.

Nally, love your pic. Shakira is the best female singer EVER!  ;)

I like one Kim Carnes song. That one she did with Kenny Rogers. Was it "Don't fall in love with a dreamer"? It was pretty. But I like Kenny Rogers songs, they were always pretty. He had some of the best slowies in the early 80s.

Did Weird Al Yankovic do a version of Bette Davis Eyes?

Don't know, but English p**s-take band, Half Man, Half Biscuit did a version of it, called "Dickie Davies eyes":

"Mention the Lord of the Rings just once more,
And I'll more than likely kill you.
"Moorecock, Moorecock, Michael Moorecock"
you fervently moan.
Is this a wok that you sholve down my throat,
Or are you just pleased to see me?
Brian Moore's head looks uncannily like London Planetarium.

Chorus:
And all those people
Who you, romantically,
Like to still believe are alive,
Are dead!
So I'll wipe my snot
On the arm of your chair
As you put another Roger Dean poster
On the wall.

God, I could murder a Cadbury's Flake,
Then I guess you wouldn't let me into heaven.
Or maybe you would 'cause their adverts promote oral sex!
A Romani bint in a field with her paints,
Suggesting we faint at her beauty,
But she's got "Dickie Davis Eyes!" "

And yes, even though I like her voice, she did sound a bit like Rod Stewart on that song- better than looking like him, I suppose...

Thank you, that sounds just like what I was thinking of.

Wow, for once my retention of inane facts (and bizarre tases in music) have actually been of use to someone! Glad to be of service...

Maybe you're thinking of Bruce Baum's "Marty Feldman Eyes" ?

Shakira's alright, but she'll have to come along way to achieve the vocal talents of Mariah Carey. Man she can sing and she's also a babe too.

anouther good Kim Carnes sone is I'll Be Hear Were The Heart Is From thye Flash Dance Soundtrack 1983

I have heard that one...but only one time, so I don't know it all that well.

Did Weird Al Yankovic do a version of Bette Davis Eyes?
Yes! I've also heard ones called "Elizabeth Taylor Thighs" and "Marty Feldman Eyes"....though the artists escape me at the moment  ???

There's a show here in Canada called "Back in 19XX" where they chronicle the best and worst of each year.  The episode they did for 1981, they mentioned Kim Carnes as a one hit wonder, simply because no single she had ever triumphed the success of "Bette Davis Eyes" on the Billboard Charts.

As a lover of all chart hits, that pissed me off so much, that I almost e-mailed the TV channel.  They should check their facts before they tell them on national TV.  According to the Billboard Charts, Kim Carnes appeared on a total of 18 hits in the 80's.  9 of those were Top 40.  Sounds like a one hit wonder to me  ::)
