Yes, Gerard Alessandrini parodied ''One of the Boys,'' one of Bacall's songs from ''Woman of the Year'':

''I'm one of the girls who sings like a boy. My voice is as low as the tunes I destroy.

''I'm one of the ladies who sings like a bass. My voice is as deep as the lines on my face ...''

Thanks. And wasn't a teenage Andy Williams Betty's singing voice in To Have And Have Not? I call her Betty because I met her once in my office and felt we had become fast friends because she let me live.

No, it wasn't. That's an urban legend that was debunked long ago.

Yes, there were plans to use Williams' singing voice in place of Bacall's, but ultimately filmmakers decided to stick with Bacall herself.
