INFORMATIONS

Wikipedia: The original lyrics (of Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” (correct title is “Bewitched”) ) present an unabashed celebration of feminine sexuality that has been bowdlerized in most covers to remove the song’s blatant sexual allusions.

Lorenz&Hart : I’ll sing to him…And worship the trousers that cling to him… Horizontally speaking… Thank God I can’t be over-sexed again ( Hmmm!)

BuffyGuide.com : In the “Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered” episode, the dialogue says “Angel: “Dear Buffy. I’m still trying to decide the best way to send my regards.” Spike: “Why don’t you rip her lungs out? Might make an impression.”..

ARtFactsNet : “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered” aims to exploit the psychological associations of space with its multiplicity of emotional overtones, mapping its extremes and its psychic environment. (this is obscure!)

Wikipedia : At the 1st Grammy Awards, Frank Sinatra was nominated for six Grammy awards, “Witchcraft” being nominated for the Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Vocal Performance, Male, and Nelson Riddle’s arrangement nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement. He won the Grammy Award for Best Album Cover.
