Coolest Song Ever Recorded
This morning I was talking to my beautiful wife while Pandora played in the background and a song began to play that I mentioned was probably the Coolest Song Ever Recorded. She immediately challenged my assertion. It seems that living in my household is a donnybrook all its own. The song that was playing was Frank Sinatra’s version of Mack the Knife. My second offering was also a song by a member of the Rat Pack (seriously, was there ever a group of people who embodied the essence of cool like the Rat Pack?). My second choice was Dean Martin’s Ain’t That a Kick in the Head. Of course, she instantly repudiated that choice as well. Notably however, she declined to offer her own choice for Coolest Song Ever Recorded.
So I appeal to a wider audience. What is the Coolest Song Ever Recorded? I’ve offered my top two nominations. I like Frank’s version of Mack the Knife, but I think that almost any version automatically bumps its singer three notches on the coolness meter. Now is your turn to nominate your favorite for the title of Coolest Song Ever Recorded.
