Fun fact!
Actress Bette Davis was 73 years old when Kim Carnes's version became a hit. She wrote letters to Carnes, Weiss, and DeShannon to thank all three of them for making her "a part of modern times" and stated that her grandson now looked up to her. After their Grammy wins, Davis sent them roses as well

Someone "snowing you" usually meant they were playing you for a fool, lying to you, blinding you to their true intentions. Like snow covering up things, a blizzard blinding you of what's around you.

Bette Davis was an incredibly beautiful woman in her prime. She had captivating eyes and she almost always played characters that were morally ambiguous and couldn't be trusted. A femme Fatale

[metalmark]

Davis was a famous actress known for playing characters who were often unsympathetic or morally grey. She was also known for her distinctive eyes. When Carnes says the main figure of her song has “Bette Davis Eyes, ” she’s signalling to the audience that the character cannot be trusted, no matter how beautiful she is.

"Bette Davis Eyes" was a game-changer, signifying the sound of the 1980s to come, and one of the biggest pop hits of all time. It was the first big hit song that was driven by synthesizers instead of more traditional musical instruments, and that mysterious, repetitive synth riff helped propel the song straight to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, spending nine non-consecutive weeks at #1, beginning May 16, 1981. It also spent 14 weeks in the Top 10, and 20 weeks in the Top 40. In fact, the song was so huge that Billboard ranked it as the #1 song of 1981, and the #2 song of the entire 1980s.

Many (most?) people don't know that this song is a cover. The original version was released as an album cut by country musician Jackie DeShannon in 1975, and the tone of her original version is very different, driven by piano and a brass section instead of synthesizers, with a swing to the rhythm, and lacks the mysterious sound that made Kim Carnes' version such a huge hit. Nonetheless, Jackie DeShannon wrote the song, so she gets a cut of the royalties from Kim Carnes' version.

A snow job is like a con, if someone is running a snow job on you they are conning you out of something or misleading you about something..

Bette Davis (1908-1989) was a legendary actress whose career spanned from the start of the 1930s to 1989. She was famous for her beautiful eyes and tended to play tough, morally ambiguous women. The song also mentions Jean Harlow (1911-1937) who was a gigantic movie star in her day and established the whole 'Blonde Bombshell' style Marilyn Monroe used later.

Betty Davis was a pros pro. She didn't just show up to a movie and know her lines. She knew EVERYONE'S LINES! It was amazing.

[deborahcornell]

Bette Davis is one of the most legendary actresses in cinema history. The song also mentions 2 other Hollywood legends, Harlow & Garbo.

Kim Carnes did a follow up song, "Draw Of The Cards", that's worth checking out. The Official video is bizarre but interesting, kind of like a combination of Mardi Gras, Carnivale & Nightmare Alley. The song is mysterious & mystical.

Bette Davis is one of my favorite actresses.
She was the first actress to get 10 Oscar nominations.
If you have spare time, watch a few of her movies.

[mojavered]

I remember when this song came out in about 1980 or so. It just took over the radio. There was no kid who didn't love it.
Plus back then, we knew who Bette Davis was. Oh... and Jean Harlow.

[maureenwagg]

When she says her hair was Harlow gold. She is referring to Jean Harlow, the actress from the Silver Screen days. All these references are from the Silver Screen days. Bette Davis was one of the greats.

[cheryla]

BettyDavis was a very famous actress with a very unsettling presence at times, was in tons of movies.

[jefffiore]

If you like her voice, you'd probably like Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart". She is another raspy voiced singer.

[ParkerAllen]

Bette Davis was still alive when this song came out and she loved it. By the way, if you like Kim Carnes' voice, she did a killer version of Smokey Robinson's song More Love that was also a big hit.

[funkster]

I always thought of Kim as a female Rod Stewart. Actually Rod would probably make this a hit too. lol

[alfredvelazquez]

She's describing one of the most amazing actresses in the Golden Age of Hollywood. This song brings me amazing memories. Thank you both for doing what you do!!!

[elaine]

My BFF and I have almost nothing in common. She's Sicilian and I'm Puerto Rican. I'm older and she's much younger.I'm christian and she's pagan. BUT, this is our song. What we sing out loud riding in the car. What we both want played at our funeral. Beautiful memories of crazy adventures. Thanks, you made my day.

[pushpak]

Bette Davis was legend an icon. Just about everybody could do an imitation of her.

[metalmark]

Kim has a very distinct voice. This was very popular back in the day.
