Cry Baby; Madonna

As you can see right there >>>>>>>, American whistling songs is crushing the other countries! It's not fair. This month I will post only whistling songs by other countries and, if possible, other languages than English. But today I have to post Madonna! I do have!

This song was inspired by the movie “Dick Tracy” in which she played Breathless Mahoney. “There are four songs from the film on the album: 'Sooner or Later', 'More', 'What Can You Lose?' and 'Now I'm Following You', although the latter song appears here in a version different from the one in the film (the film version was not performed by Madonna, but by the composer, Andy Paley). So, 'I'm Breathless' can be considered another Madonna album, even though it's officially a soundtrack album.* This album is the Madonna's concept album, and is largely aclamed by the critics.

Still quoting Wikipedia: "Rolling Stone magazine stated: 'No other pop star today could - or probably would - make an album like this.' Madonna commented in a 1998 interview that this album is one of her favorites, saying: 'I love every song on that album'."

This song is very 30s and jazzy. It seems that Madonna is trully the cabaret singer Breathless Mahoney.


My guy is really something, he's sensitive and shy
My guy is such a bumpkin, it doesn't take much to make him cry.
If you hurt someone helpless, it's like taking away all his toys,
He's just a cry baby boy.

My guy is sentimental, he's always feeling blue
He can be so temperamental and I don't know what I should do.
If you step on a little bug he cries all over the floor,
He's just a cry baby bore.

I don't want to hurt his feelings,
But his outbursts have me really
Boo-hoo-hoo-ing all the time,
If I turn out like him, I think I'm gonna cry, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la,
He's such a cry baby,
La, la, la, la, la, la.

And I'll tell you something else

My guy is such a wet noodle, he's always teary-eyed
He acts like a real cock-a-doodle, he can't even tell you why.
If you just play him a sappy song, he acts like his doggie just died,
He's just a cry baby guy.

No kidding, oh dear

My guy is such a whiner, he's worse than baddie so
A cockroach seen in the diner, and the tears flow out of the blue.
And if I ask him to knock it off, he goes and cries in the can,
He's such a cry baby man.

I don't want to hurt his feelings,
But his outbursts have me really
Boo-hoo-hoo-ing all the time,
If I turn out like him, I think I'm gonna cry, baby
La, la, la, la, la, la,
He's such a cry baby,
La, la, la, la, la, la.

I love a cry baby,
La, la, la, la, la, la.
He's such a cry baby,
La, la, la, la, la, la.
