Minutiæ
Venus Smith sings "You're Getting to be a Habit with Me" [4:14, 1:22 long] and "I Got It Bad" [29:02, 2:04 long], accompanied by the Dave Lee Trio.
The microphone takes a moment getting to Julie as the camera shifts, and we almost completely miss the line "No I can't break away".
The Dave Lee Trio comprised Dave Lee, Art Morgan and Spike Heatley in 1962, all highly respected jazz players. Dave Lee also co-wrote the hit Avengers tie-in single "Kinky Boots" b/w "Let's Keep it Friendly" with Herbert Kretzmer (who wrote the lyrics for "Togetherness" from The Murder Market).

You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me
Al Dubin & Harry Warren, 1932
Every kiss, every hug,
Seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms,
I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love
Was something
That I could take, or leave alone
But now I couldn't do
Without my supply,
I need you for my own
No I can't break away
I must have you every day
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches
And I can't get free -
What can I do?
I'm hooked on you, Cos'-
You're getting to be a habit with me -
From the musical "42nd Street"
Al Dubin & Harry Warren, 1932
Every kiss, every hug,
Seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms,
I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love
Was something
That I could take, or leave alone
But now I couldn't do
Without my supply,
I need you for my own
No I can't break away
I must have you every day
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches
And I can't get free -
What can I do?
I'm hooked on you, Cos'-
You're getting to be a habit with me -

I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good)
Duke Ellington & Paul Francis Webster, 1941
Though folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
Well I'm so mad about him
I can't live without him
Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
I've got it bad
And that ain't good
My poor heart
is tempramental
Not made of wood
I've got it bad
And that ain't good
But when the weekend's over
And monday rolls around
I end up like I start out
Just crying my heart out
He don't love me like I love him
No, nobody could
I've got it bad
And that ain't good
Lord above me, make him love me
The way he should
I got it bad
And tha-t ai-n't goo-d

My poor heart
