Hive Open Mic #163 - I Wanna Be Loved By You (Marilyn Monroe)
Pasión por el Arte
This weeks theme Passion for the Art chosen by @albertocoachbl left me pondering what I should do. What is art? Paintings, music, films and TV, poems and stories, sculptures and so forth.
Well, I decided that my passion lies with films and music which made my choice very easy in the end: Marilyn came to my mind very quickly, but initially it was going to be a different song, instead it will be one that we've done with band.
Today I will publish my shortest song ever! 😄
And I'm wearing a dress, which DOES NOT happen very often either! 🤣
Marilyn Monroe
When I was a kid my Mum and Dad used to go out bowling with colleagues leaving me and my sister to watch TV all night.. haha, fun times! 😄
I loved, and still love, all those old movies that were available on the few major channels we were able to get. Newer films were a rarity then and usually only reserved for the cinema.
I would watch anything! Westerns, romance, comedy, but I liked dance and music films best. The way they were able to move always fascinated me! I can ball room dance by the way.. the best exercise there is and the most enjoyable!
Marilyn Monroe was, of course, a major feature in many of those films, not just the music ones, but drama and comedy too.
River of No Return, Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.. ahhh, the list goes on!
I Wanna Be Loved By You
A young and cute Marilyn in Some Like It Hot... looking sexy and sounding amazing! In some scenes she plays a little uke, or is she just holding it? 😄 I have a hunch she might...
I have always loved singing old songs and this song is one we've done in the past with our band Swing 42.
In the film it has quite a long instrumental break before Marilyn comes in a second time and this bit is filled by @daniellemurray with her clarinet in the band. However, I am keeping it very short in this version and not even doing the second round of singing.
Wrapping It Up
I hope, you like this song which is a bit different to the usual stuff I do, especially because of said dress! haha Thanks for giving it a listen anyway!
In case you do need the words, here are the lyrics
These sort of pictures are my favourites; they seem to really show her vulnerable side.

Ah, thank you so much!
That's amazing, so glad you like it! 🙏
A big hug back from the UK! 😃
I really Love that tyler acoustic guitar 😍
Hey Arash!
It sure is different, isn't it? The colour of the wood is quite something!
Thanks for giving this a listen, my friend!! 😃
Good vibes all the way..wish it was longer, this was beautiful Anke, got me smiling all through ☺️. Straight to the point, lovely entry my friend 🤍✨
😄 haha, thanks Sammy, yes, it should be longer, but with all the instrumental bits missing, I thought I'd keep it short and sweet.. 😃
I'm looking forward to what you'll come up with!
And it was short and sweet 😉... Yeah mine would be ready in a bit, uploading at the moment ☺️
OH What a nice swing and nice to hear you singing and playing with such joy and delivery! It is fascinating to be part of your audience.
Hi there!
Thank you so much for these lovely words!
You did great considering you played it left-handed! I think I've only seen you in a dress once or twice. Are you not into dressing up?

Lol.. I used my phone this time and forgot to switch the video around.. haha thanks!
I do like dresses, I think they suit me, but they're not very practical for most things I do.
Wow amazing! Lovely rendition! It's amazing where different minds go for the same theme! Hahaha!
Also by the time your video is finished, mine is usually only halfway through explaining who the artist is and why I chose their song for the theme before even starting to play around the 2 minute mark... do I waffle too much?? Hahaha!
Well, I love hearing you say Ja So keep waffling... lol
Thank you, Jasper! Quite surprised myself how well it came out.. 😊
Hah! I was also thinking of doing an OST from my favourite movies as music is an art too is it? 😁 but I have not looked up for one just yet. 😅
Loved your black dress. So Manilyn M! 😍
!PIZZA
Ooh, wonder what you will come up with in the end!
Thank you Chichi!! 😀

How much I enjoy your freshness in writing. I always feel like I would love to meet you and chat when I read you. You are one of those users that I always know brings something nice and original, thanks for sharing. It was wonderful.
Aww, thank you so very much! 😍
I'd love to meet you too, Grandma Irene! haha, surely not a grandma?
So glad you like it! I've only really started writing here on Hive, I'm not normally one who waffles on about stuff, but I am always interested in what goes on.
Thank you for stopping by, that is so lovely!
Jejeje que buena su actitud muy alegre, me gustó al final de su vídeo que sonrió, se vió muy bien 😃☺️ gracias querida Anna por su hermosa participación.🥰
Jaja, gracias, mi querida amiga!
Esa canción me hace eso de alguna manera..
¡¡¡Me alegro de que te guste!!! 😍
Hello mam, is this an old song? From the tone and rhythm, this seems to be a 60-70s model of music. But I love hearing it.
Spot on! The film this appeared in is from 1959.
Glad you like it!
Great performance, as always!
(Pretty sure the women behind her aren't playing those clarinets either)
🤣 I dare say you're right!
I haven't seen Marilyn Monroe perform this song, but I can imagine it in my mind, woo! Adorable. Thanks for carrying this song, short and sweet. I appreciate your playful nature, my friend.
Woo, haha! Thank you, Cabe! 😄
Wow so beautiful
I always wanted to learn the accustic
This is really a nice piece of work
Kudos
Well, you should!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment!!
Really glad you like it!
