Debbie Reynolds 'Tammy'

The ferrets were making a hell of a racket this morning and on investigation we found the mating season has begun again so in honour of this I thought I'd put something soppy up. This song from 1957 is on our turntable - thanks to the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas soundtrack which I recommend having lots of soundbites from the movie. Debbie Reynolds rather impressively took a stand against cigarette advertising on her tv show and got cancelled. Shame on them. Anyway this is the clip from the film where she sings this, her signature tune - (her leading man was Leslie Nielson incidentally in this film 'Tammy and the Bachelor') - 50s Americana at its syrupy best.
