What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? [Mangini vs Pallin Remix] - Ella Fitzgerald
This song never asks outright if the person Ella sings to wants to spend New Year's eve with her. It's more indirect:
but in case I stand one little chance/here comes the jackpot question in advance/What are you doing New Year's eve? The remix, lifted from the xmas album in the stellar
Verve Remixed series, takes
a song that is originally soft-spoken, rather delicately hopeful, and makes it
shimmering and snappy. A soundtrack for your conspiring glance across the room before the year-ending countdown.
