JSngry Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Illinois Jaquet had "Black Velvet", which turned into "Don't You Go Away Mad". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think Aric may be mistaking "Velvet" for "Violet" as in "Violet for your Furs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hepcat1950 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I found two titles in my database, but I think they both aren't "standards": Velvet Sunset, composed by Earl Bostic Velvet Scene, composed by Mal Waldron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Leave us not forget Velvel: Velvel - 24" This figure is made to represent the character created by Ricky Layne. It was his ventriloquist figure he created in the 50's. Velvel was a Yiddish character.... http://www.ventriloquistcentral.com/ventri...-toys/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I think Aric may be mistaking "Velvet" for "Violet" as in "Violet for your Furs." I'll confess that's one title that never made any sense to me. Must be some PETA singalong about paint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I think Aric may be mistaking "Velvet" for "Violet" as in "Violet for your Furs." I'll confess that's one title that never made any sense to me. Must be some PETA singalong about paint... It's "Violets for your furs". Make sense now?

JSngry Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Violets For Your Furs Tom Adair / Matt Dennis VERSE: It was winter in Manhattan Falling snowflakes filled the air The streets were covered with a film of ice But a little simple magic that I'd heard about somewhere Changed the weather all around, just withn a trice CHORUS: You bought me violets for my furs And it was spring for a while, remember? You bought me violets for my furs And there was April in that December The snow drifted on the flowers and melted where it lay The snow looked like dew on the blossoms As on a summer day You bought me violets for my furs And there was blue in the wintry sky You pinned the violets to my furs And gave a lift to the crowds passing by You smiled at me so sweetly Since then one thought occurs That we fell in love completely The day you bought me violets for my furs Nice & flowery, eh?

JSngry Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Matt Dennis? All kidding (and androgyny) aside, how 'bout them Hi-Lo's, folks? How 'bout that Prezifying of the tune's opening phrase? Dennis implied it (it's his tune) & Puerling made it clear. Makes it all worthwhile.
