The best thing about the movie L.A. Confidential is the music. I was especially pleased to hear Lee Wiley’s version of Oh! Look At Me Now. (She’s way at the top of my Top Female Singers list.) [Special thanks to John Black for correcting my transcription of her lyrics.]

I’m not the girl who cared ’bout money
I’m not the girl who cared about fortunes and such
Never cared much
Oh, look at me now

I never knew rhinestones from rubies
I never knew a mink from a sable or seal
Phonies from real
Oh, look at me now

Got a new man, what a man
He’s no handsome Errol Flynn
I like his face, and his bank is Chase
Half a million dollars ain’t tin

Oh I’m the girl longed for a cottage
So I’m the girl who’s got an estate with a gate
I’m doing great
Oh, look at me now

He gives me checks, brand new checks
I’ve got more than I deserve
I sleep till two, then what do I do?
Pour the wine and serve the hors d’oeuvres

Oh I’m the gal who’s married to Wall Street
Yes I’m the gal who’s worth about five hundred G’s
At which don’t sneeze
Oh, look at me now
Oh, look at me now
