This isn't the movie's official soundtrack (which comes with musical contributions from Ella Fitzgerald [+] and a crack jazz ensemble, as well as many of the songs found here), but re-recordings of tunes that Peggy Lee [+] performed in the movie.
Peggy Lee [+] is perfectly in sync with this approach, and sounds strong throughout, even on her appropriately freaky interpretation of "Sing a Rainbow," which her character performs from the confines of a mental institution after suffering a complete breakdown.
It is widely believed that this was due to Hollywood considering Lee's portrayal of a singer plagued by alcohol and mental health problems as (rightly or wrongly) too close to the vocalist's own life.
