“Whatever happened, to Fay Wray?
That beautiful, satined draped frail?
As it clung to her thigh
And I started to cry
Because I wanted to be dressed just the same.”
The 1970s “King Kong” was pretty good, but it just wasn’t the same. I’ve heard nothing good about the 2000s version, so I won’t even bother to see it. Maybe what they were both missing was Ms. Wray.
Dypak I always thought it was “frame”, not “frail.” Your way works, too, I guess. Still appropriate. Here’s e-lyrics take on the song:
Whatever happened to Fay Wray?
That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry
‘Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same
Hey Ji2m that’s exactly what I was confused about!!! Her DOD is listed as 8 August 2004, so what is the significance? Today isn’t her birthday either. Er, sorry if I’m being naive everyone! but I honestly don’t know :o\

That’s what I get for not asking my wife before I hit the ‘post comment’ button. She really let me have it! Thanks for fixing my mistake. Sad to say I havent seen those lips in probably 10 years.
Oh! And let’s not forget Rocky climbing to the top of the RKO tower and it coming down in the pool, a la Kong.

Carl Denham got one of the best final lines in any movie. “Oh, no, it wasn’t the airplanes. It was Beauty killed the Beast.”
Oh, and you’re all correct. Awwwww.
