But I don't understand why other songs by him didn't "hit." He has an interesting voice, and he looks attractive enough (let's face it...sex appeal has a lot to do with making it in the music business).

The song is about his fantasy of being a misogynistic women's hat designer. The song written by Danny Kaye's real wife Sylvia Fine. The two of them must have had a blast.
