"Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" by Cake

 


Sacramento, California deadpan band Cake covered Cincinnati, Ohio singer, actress, and activist Doris Day's 1965 song "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" on their brilliant 1996 album Fashion Nugget.

Well, this is partially true.  

Doris Day likely released the first version of the song entirely in English.  Credit for the Spanglish original tune goes to bandleader Desi Arnaz, way back in 1948.  Here 'tis.

If Cake decides to release an official video, I hope that it will consist of band members dancing the tango with eggs stuffed down their shirts.

Though, they may want to sleep on that until egg prices aren't completely redunk.
