His Most Controversial Song (CpB #1)

 Cole Porter's most controversial song is a love song.
 But it is neither a boy/girl or a girl/boy song.
 It is a girl +anybody-with-a-wallet love song.

 The perfect vessel to channel LOVE FOR SALE was a singer
 who would never be confused with the subject matter.
 That would be Ella Fitzgerald.

"RoundMidnightTV" posted both Ms. Fitzgerald's cover and another version of LFS
  by a singer who intimately knew every word of which she sang.
  About her, Woody Allen  once said  that
"White women smoke pot because they want to feel like Billie Holiday."

  Both hyperlinks contain a pitch-perfect history of Cole Porter's most controversial song.
  Here are the lyrics

LOVE FOR SALE

When the only sound on the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop

The moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town
My smile becomes a smirk, I go to work

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled
Love for sale

Who will buy
Who would like to sample my supply
Who's prepared to pay the price
For a trip to paradise
Love for sale

Let the poets pipe of love
In their childish ways
I know every type of love
Better far than they
If you want the thrill of love
I have been through the mill of love
Old love
New love
Every love but true love

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
If you want to buy my wares
Follow me
And climb the stairs
Love for sale
