Cover art for Treat Me Rough lyrics by Ella Fitzgerald

Only heard this one once (years and years ago) and found it amusing. It's about a woman born into a life of wealth and ease, and who has tired of being pampered. She wants a man who won't spoil her; rather, he'll send thrills down her spine like no other. She wants it "rough," which back in that day did not mean S&M:) It just meant someone who won't be a puppy dog who offers no challenge. He'll give her a run for her money when it comes to emotions, and THAT will excite her.
