"It wants a woman to sing it. A woman who could reach out or the last high note and teach it to take a joke. The whole refrain is working up to that. You need Tetrazzini or someone who would just pick that note off the roof and hold it it till the janitor came round to lock up the building for the night."
(from The Indiscretions of Archie, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
