Lana Del Rey recorded a version of Shirley Bassey’s “Big Spender
1. YOU MEAN “BIG SPENDER” FROM SWEET CHARITY, GOD.
2. Of course she fucking recorded a version of “Big Spender.” It’s one of the first songs belters want to try during lessons and in the top 5 Broadway songs you’d expect Lana to cover. (The rest of the top 5 is left as an exercise for the reader.)
3. Notice that word, “belters”? People like Shirley Bassey. Or Gwen Verdon, or Chita Rivera. This is some sub-Katharine McPhee in Smash Xeroxing.
4. CHITA.
