Cogito & Microcosmos

Grace Kelly是摩納哥的王妃，息影之前的最後一個作品就是" High Society" ，這部片子的演員陣容堅強，有Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby等等。
在片中，Grace Kelly飾演一個剛剛離婚的女子，要跟另外一位男士結婚。Bing Crosby飾演這位女子的前夫，仍然愛著她，不願放棄。Frank Sinatra飾演小報記者，受邀到Grace Kelly的再婚典禮觀禮。Louis Armstrong飾演樂團主唱。
當然啦，結局是Grace Kelly和Bing Crosby重修舊好，公主王子過著幸福快樂的日子。
這部片中，最有名的配樂就是Frank Sinatra和Bing Crosby所唱的"Well, Did You Evah?"
翻唱的人不少，譬如Robbie Williams.
這歌詞也很有意思，討論上流社會的生活狀況和小道消息。

Well, Did You Evah?
by Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby

I have heard among this clan,
You are called the forgotten man
(is that what theyre saying, well did you evah!)
(what a swell party this is)

And have you heard the story of,
A boy, a girl, unrequited love
(sounds like your soap opera, tune in tomorrow) I may cry
(what a swell party this is)

(what frails, what frocks) what broads!
(what furs, what rocks!) theyre beautiful.
(why Ive never seen such gaity) neither have i.
(its all just too, too risque really)

This french champagne
(so good for the brain) thats what I was going to say.
(you know youre a brilliant fellow? ) why thank you
(pick up jack. but please dont eat that glass my friend)

(have you heard, about dear blanche? )
(got run down by an avalanche) no!
(oh dont worry, shes a game girl you know, got up and finished 4th)
The kids got guts. (having a nice time? grab a line!)

Have you heard that mimsie starr
She got pinched in the astor bar
...
She got stoned.
Well, did you evah? (never!)
What a swell party this is!

Its great, so grand!
Its wonderland!
La da da da......

(we sing, so rare)
(like old camembert)
(like baba au rhum!)
Dont dig that kind of croning chum!

Have you heard? its in the stars
Next july we collide with mars.
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party, a swell party
A swelligant, elegant party this is!

(I drink to your health)
Naw, lets drink to your wealth
(youre my bonamie) hey, thats french
A liberty fraternity

Have you heard? its in the stars
Next july we collide with mars.
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party, a swell party
A swelligant, elegant party this is!
