That colorful, craggy curmudgeon Walter Matthau seems to channel W.C. Fields on the peculiar single, "Bring Her Back To Me." It's about a drunken father who did such a poor job of raising his daughter that she's become a lady of the evening. Or, as Norm MacDonald would phrase it, "A Big Whore!"
With lyrics probably from Neil Simon (N.Simon-A.Greene is the credit), it's a half-sung half-soused reversal of "Father, dear Father come home with me now," with just enough campy backspin to suggest Daddy wants his daughter back for sex.
I found my white label promo copy years ago, and in the same rumpled shape as Matthau, so excuse any sonic imperfections.
