Music sample

Well, Did You Evah! is a duet single by Deborah Harry and Iggy Pop originally recorded for benefit project Red Hot + Blue which was created to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and safe sex. The twenty track Red Hot + Blue album which was released in September of 1990 consisted of some of the world's biggest stars in rock and pop such as U2, Tom Waits, Annie Lennox, David Byrne, Simply Red and k. d. lang covering songs by Cole Porter.
"Well, Did You Evah!" was written for the 1939 musical DuBarry Was a Lady but is probably best known from the 1956 movie High Society in which it was performed by Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.
Deborah Harry and Iggy Pop's radical rock interpretation of the old Porter standard was released as a single in the UK and reached Number 42 on the charts in February 1991. The duet was also included on the UK hits compilation The Complete Picture: The Very Best of Deborah Harry and Blondie issued a month later and in 1999 also on EMI's Most of All - The Best of Deborah Harry.
