Bette Davis Eyes
Kim Carnes
A smoky pop-rock classic with clipped descriptions, a seductive title character, and a chorus that depends on cool control rather than size.

Recommendation
Should you sing it?
Sing “Bette Davis Eyes” when you can play a knowing narrator and stay slightly behind the beat. The narrow melody exposes uneven phrasing. It may not suit you if you want an openhearted love song.
