It doesn't bother me either, not even the mis-accent, really. She's punching out the words pugnaciously, to show Magaldi she belongs there, and with him. The unexpected expression makes the lyric fun. "Lauren Bacall me" is not quite from the vernacular either (neither is "rainbow high," come to think of it...)
The Hart lines strike just as a bad joke, lyricized. Very much a joke of the period, somehow... |
