Remember the controversy around this song a few years ago?

I wonder if this role-reversal version would have been viewed as better or worse. I always kind of liked it, and for me this version is better. They should be playing this like they play Mariah Carey.

@Amylynne Well, the difference is even illustrated in the 1949 movie, Neptune’s Daughter. Ricardo Montalban sings it to Esther Williams—and he’s a wolf. Later, Betty Garrett sings it to Red Skelton, and it’s just as obvious she means business. But there it’s played for laughs.
