Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, “Some Velvet Morning”

by Alexandra Molotkow

Continuing today’s theme of historically unresolved (or maybe, actually, resolved) sexual tension… the theme song!

“Some Velvet Morning” is the theme song to a lot of things.

Nancy, in the Guardian:

Lee used to call us Beauty and the Beast. He was very respectful and polite; he smoked, which I didn’t much like, drank Chivas Regal, and he had very specific taste in clothes — his boots were always the most expensive leather or snakeskin. But he was not at all the shit-kicking hillbilly he pretended to be, this country bumpkin. He was highly intelligent, he served in Korea, and he had a well-rounded background as a DJ and a producer.

Now, to track this down.
