No Wave singer Cristina, AKA Cristina Monet-Palaci, was a Franco-American Harvard drop-out, lingerie model and writer for the Village Voice when she recorded her legendarily cynical version of the Peggy Lee standard “Is That All There Is?” in 1980. The witty, sardonic remake was produced by August Darnell (better known in his guise as Kid Creole) and released on ZE Records, the label run by her boyfriend/later husband Michael Zilkha. On “Is That All There Is?” Cristina emotes like a world-weary debutante on a coke jag. One reviewer wrote “If Jackie Kennedy had made a record, it would sound like this.” True, but a slightly more decadent Jackie O… this is not middling boredom on display, this is ennui deluxe! Celebrated songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller were so furious when the original lyrics of their 1969 Grammy-winner: “Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world. We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other’s eyes. We were so very much in love” became “And then I met the most wonderful boy in Manhattan. We used to walk by the river, and he beat me black...

As January 21 marks the anniversary of singer Peggy Lee's death in 2002, we have some very cool pictures of Lee, her songwriting partner Sonny Burke and a number of animators and production people from Disney's Lady and the Tramp. There may be a picture of some guy named Walt too. Lee was a very popular recording artist, charting hits for over 30 years including "Fever" and "Is That All There Is?" Her success spilled over to motion pictures. She was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in 1955's Pete Kelly's Blues. Peggy Lee voiced Peg in Lady and the Tramp. With Burke, she co-wrote songs for Lady and the Tramp, including "He's a Tramp," "La La Lu" and "Siamese Cat Song." She also provided the voice for Lady's owner Darling, the pound pup Peg, and the cats Si and Am. In 1991, Lee successfully sued Disney for royalties related to home video sales. The landmark case opened the door for other voice actors such as Ilene Woods (Cinderella) and Mary Costa (Sleeping Beauty) to file suit against Disney as well. Lady and the Tramp will be released on Blu-ray for the first time on February 7. www.themousecastle.com www.facebook.com/themousecastle www.twitter.com/disneytim www.youtube.com/disneytim www.youtube.com/mousecastletrailers
