美國實力歌姬［貝蒂蜜勒］──輕爵士／傳統流行曲──［Old Cape Cod／老鱈魚角］

If youre fond of sand dunes and salty air,

Quaint little villages here and there,

Youre sure to fall in love with old cape cod.

If you like the taste of a lobster stew

Served by a window with an ocean view,

Youre sure to fall in love with old cape cod.

Winding roads that seem to beckon you.

Miles of green beneath the skies of blue.

Church bells chimin on a Sunday morn

Remind you of the town where you were born.

If you spend an evening youll want to stay,

Watching the moonlight on old cape cod bay.

Youre sure to fall in love with old cape cod.

Youre sure to fall in love, in love, in love.

Youre sure to fall in love, in love,

With old cape cod, old cape cod.

１９７６年１月　３１歲的葛萊美獎新人──美國歌手貝蒂蜜勒（Bette Midler）推出第三張大碟［Song for the New Depression］

製作群包括Arif Mardin, Joel Dorn, Ahmet Ertegün, Mark "Moogy" Klingman, Jack Malken, 還有貝蒂

這是蜜勒首次參與詞曲創作與製作,獲得高度樂壇

只是成績不如前兩張Top１０專輯, 只登上美國排行榜＃２７

首支主打是雙A面單曲［Strangers in the Night＊Old Cape Cod／黑夜陌生人＊老鱈魚角］

兩者都是翻唱, 雖然改編得頗有特色, 但反應不佳, 成為貝蒂首張專輯沒打入排行榜的首支主打

其中［Old Cape Cod］是翻唱佩蒂佩吉（Patti Page）［Billboard單曲榜（最佳銷售）＃８］

由Claire Rothrock, Allan Jeffrey, Milton Yakus譜寫

原本為１９７２年首張專輯［The Divine Miss M］灌錄, 最後沒採用

３年後Lew Hahn＆ Arif Mard為［Song for the New Depression］重新混音,

貝蒂與Joel Dorn掛名製作, 將其改編成一首融合輕爵士的傳統流行曲

在慵懶的樂聲中，蜜勒娓娓演繹這首經典旋律

［Old Cape Cod］拿到Billboard副榜－Easy Listening榜＃３６

此曲展現貝蒂重新詮釋的功力
