"What'll I Do" vs. "I Wanna Be Loved By You" from The Golden Girls
(1992)
SONG. & SONG.
From a classic episode in which "Dorothy" (Bea Arthur) accidentally steals all the thunder from "Blanche" (Rue McClanahan), these songs are great counterparts. Blanche has been entertaining the guys at the local dive, but can't keep up with her best friend's sultry vocals. Arthur's masterfully subdued take on this standard manages to be funny in flashes without sacrificing her artistry, and McClanahan's desperate attention-grabber is just plain hilarious.
CHOICE LYRIC:
"What'll I do!"
(When Arthur emphatically continues the song after her accompanist mistakenly thinks she's all done.)
