A Swingin' Affair!, 1957
Written by Arthur Schwartz &Howard Dietz, 1929

The sad tale of a man who has discovered his love is already attached to another man.  Although the lyrics are melancholy, Sinatra sings here in an almost jaunty way, swingin' through the song as if it's of no concern to him.  He's the Chairman of the goddam Board, he is, and he can get another dame by snapping his fingers.  I love the sly lyrics: "Why did I buy those blue pajamas / before the big affair began?" And this great couplet: "My boiling point is much too low / For me to try to be a fly Lothario."  Interesting about the use of the African-American soul slang word "fly" meaning suave in 1929.  He's supa fly!
