As some of us probably know, Anita O'Day's terrific version of "You're the Top" from the album "Anita O'Day and Billy May Swing Cole Porter" includes an alternate lyric "You're the Bop." In it at one point Anita sings: "You're the bop, you're like Sarah singing, you're the bop, you're like Yardbird swinging ... you're the minor's gone (or minor's skong [???]), you're the greatest song that Eckstine ever sung, you're a Moscow Mule, you're oh so cool, you're Lester Young. Two questions: What the heck is what I've written down as "minor's skong" and what does it mean? Also, did Anita write "You're the Bop" lyrics or did someone else? Finally, the way Anita sings "Lester Young" -- what a ray of sunshine. P.S. the YouTube link says Buddy Bregman, but it's Billy May.
