about

From the film 'Kiss Me Deadly'.
In the opening scene, a woman stops a car on a deserted, moonlit highway. The song, written and recorded by Nat King Cole, can be heard playing on the car radio as they drive away. In the trunk is a locked, lead box - glowing hot.

lyrics

'The night is might chilly and conversion seems kinda silly, I feel so mean and fraught, I'd rather have the blues than what I got. The room is dark and gloomy, you don't know what you're doing to me, the web has got me caught, I'd rather have the blues than what I got. All night I walk the city watching the people go by, I try to sing a little ditty, but all that comes out is a sigh. The wind is blowing colder, it looks like life is stale and older, the world has gone to pot, I'd rather have the blues than what I got. The street looks very frightening, the rain begins and then there's lightning, your luck don't look so hot, I'd rather have the blues than what I got.'
