Notes:
Audio: Shirley Bassey -- Going Going Gone
There are at least two answers to the question "how the hell did Shirley Bassey end up recording a version of the opening number from an unsuccessful musical adaptation [opened and closed out of town, 1971] of Lolita?"
The first is that the composer of said musical was John Barry, with whom she'd previously collaborated on the title themes for Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever, and the song in question is objectively something of a bop; presumably he wanted it officially recorded by someone.
The second more or less boils down to "70s Broadway was the most glorious and insane fucking game of Mad Libs in human history."
In other words: yes, however creepy you think this is, exactly.
