"Blame It on the Bossa Nova" is a song written by Cynthia Weil (lyrics) and Barry Mann for Eydie Gormé in 1963. Produced by Al Kasha, "Blame It on the Bossa Nova" featured backing vocals by The Cookies. "Blame It on the Bossa Nova" merges the Brill Building Sound with the Latin music which Gormé had previously specialized in. The song describes a romantic relationship of a couple dancing to the bossa nova, "the dance of love." The bossa nova was a Brazilian music style especially in vogue in the United States in the late 1950s through mid-1960s. Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme told SiriusXM Radio DJ Lou Simon that when Eydie was first pitched this song, she despised it and did not want to record it, but her label forced her to record the song. She claims she deliberately recorded a mediocre vocal performance, going as far as singing an off-pitch note towards the end of the song with the hope that her label would think her performance was so bad that they would never consider releasing her recording as a single. She was wrong. Eventually, Gormé subsequently shifted back to the easy listening musical style of the first phase of her career. (Source: Wikipedia)
