j45nick Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Ha! It's a song about a hat, after all. I can remember my father buying a Borsalino fedora in Italy when we were there in about 1955. It came in this cool wedge-shaped box, and you rolled it up to store it. Made of rabbit fur, and cost a lot of money even in post-war Italy. Wonder whatever became of that one? I "inherited" (read: "liberated") several of my father's hats, which I wore for years. Guess I'm more like the old man was than I like to admit. Hard to choose between those performances. They're all great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was some guitarist trying to make his tune sound exotic.... :mellow: I better tell my younger sister - she has taken a night class all this year in hat making! Her hats are looking great, but there is a measurement problem somewhere because they are ending up too small.....only model is her little dog, Sammy: Now, my dog has offered to take any of her hat mistakes - send them over! Look what she has done to this hat: ...and the garden irrigation system and the dog toys and ...the...everything Caught red-handed!: BluesKing777.

I was being a bit flip. It's actually the title tune from a French gangster movie, but the name of the movie (and the song) is taken from the fancy fedoras that gangster types always seem to wear in French (and American) gangster movies. Think Bogart. My father always looked cool in the Borsalino and wide lapel suits he wore when he was in his civvies. Most of the time when I was a kid living on military bases he just wore his uniform, and looked like everyone else. I wish I had that hat. I wore another one of his hats for years in college, until it finally fell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
