When I heard that Marilyn Monroe was originally to play Holly Golightly in the motion picture release Breakfast At Tiffany's I laughed...and then made this new soundtrack. Certainly it is not an absurd thought that Monroe could portryaa woman who would get paid to "go to the powder room"; we are simply stalled at price negotiations.
With Audrey Hepburn, at the high end, receiving $50 for her services; how much would Marilyn fetch? If this were 1960, that may may have been a perfect water cooler question of the moment but, in fact, this 2010 and you need to keep your fookin' ass far away from the H.R. office.

Surprisingly, this mix works as a soundtrack for reading the original Truman Capote novella.
