‘I Get a Kick out of You’ is a song by Cole Porter which was first sung in a musical way back in 1934. Cole did loads of cool stuff and wrote many excellent songs and is worth a quick read.
Lots of people have covered "I Get a Kick out of You", but for me Frank Sinatra does the best version. His version was on his album ‘Songs for Young LoversI’ released in 1954.

I like to make sure the kids listen to an eccentric eclectic mix of music at home. So they will grow up knowing the classics and modern stuff as well, not just the toss on Radio1.
This morning I we had Taylor Swift, then Buddy Holly, bit of Green Day, when ol' blue eyes swaggered on.
Obviously the lyrics of this song, in my head, have always be associated with Mrs. Amazing. She is way better than fizzy vinegar white wine.
However listening to the song today it made me think of Miss4.
She's pretty kicky at the moment.

So with more than a little concern that I am doing the equivalent of playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (Sinatra, Sonata... Oh forget it) on a free app on my phone.

Mrs. Amazing: 'It's 8:30 in the morning!'
Time is relative, I am going for need and pain relief here
<Shakes head>
I suppose it does seem a little early... shame...
Hang on… What are you drinking?
‘Apple juice’
<Does shifty eyes>
‘So tell me, why should it be true,
That I get a kick out of you.’

'Why are you crying Daddy?'
Boys have one very sensitive area...
And as you leap-hugged me, you kicked mine...

‘I get a kick though it's clear to see,
You obviously don't adore me.’

‘Some get a kick in a plane, Flying too high,
With some gal in the sky,’
