This is a version from the movie The History Boys. [info via Wikipedia]: "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" is a show tune and popular song from the 1940 Rodgers and Hart musical Pal Joey. The song was introduced by Vivienne Segal in the 1940 Broadway production. The original lyrics present an unabashed celebration of feminine sexuality that has been bowdlerized in most covers to remove the song's blatant sexual allusions. One such line is "When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep," replacing the original "Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep"; another switch changed "And worship the trousers that cling to him" to "And long for the day I'll cling to him." The lyric "horizontally speaking, he's at his best" is often sung, "Harsh until he's speaking..." A reprise, including the line "Those ants that invaded my pants," is generally omitted entirely. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
