You Belong to Me

I saw The Jerk for the first time last night, and loved every last oodle of it. Such a goofy film, but Steve Martin is so endearingly earnest and silly and enthusiastic, and his gal Marie (Bernadette Peters) is just the cutest.


Of course, nothing compares to the charm of this little duet, which I've had stuck in my head all morning.


The most well-known version of this song was sung by sisters Patience and Prudence McIntyre in 1956, when they were only 11 and 14 years old—bizarre, since this song is really obviously about an affair.


Just a pair of little ditties to start Monday morning off right. Need a lasting pick-me-up for your week? Download our new spring mixtape!

  1. This was my favorite movie when I was 8. The "special purpose" bit went right over my head. Love it still, too much.
