Did you know that Dorothy Parker's Threnody was recorded by Frida (Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA) 1982? It was on her album "Something's Going On" and the melody was written by Per Gessle. Frida had earlier said "if I'm ever gonna do a different record, it will be songs with Dorothy Parker's poems as lyrics. It's in her texts I find strength, insight and comfort when I go through hard times. Her books have meant a lot to me." (badly translated, but something like this ;))
