片中挿曲之一 "CRY ME A RIVER" 原曲於1953年以 Jazz Blues 演奏方式编寫, 本來為 Ella Fitzgerald
在一部以1920年背景嘅電影 "Pete Kelly's Blues" 而編冩, 但後來被放棄。直至 1961年 Ella Fitzgerald
再將此曲錄音加入佢個人大碟 "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie" 之中。至於 "CRY ME A RIVER"
原曲真正錄製為1955年, 由歌影巨星 Julie London 於劇情中主唱, 並成為電影 "The Girl Can't Help It"
中主要挿曲之一, 及後更成為美國流行榜第 9 位, 英國流行榜 第22位, 就係今次要介紹嘅經典嘞。
1955 - CRY ME A RIVER
Music & Lyric: Arthur Hamilton

劇情中演唱片段
" CRY ME A RIVER "
Now you say youre lonely
You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say youre sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on! come on!
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you

" In 1970, British blues rocker Joe Cocker made the chart with an upbeat hard-rock rendition on the album, Mad Dogs and Englishmen. In 1995, British actress Denise Welch's double A-side "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" / "Cry Me a River" spent three weeks in the UK Singles Chart, reaching #23. In 2009, Canadian singer Michael Bublé entered the charts with a big-band jazz version, which is also the opening track of his fourth album Crazy Love. This adaption of the song was used in the BBC's advertising for, and theme music for coverage of, the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver."
