My Resistance Is Low is a 1951 song by American singer, songwriter and band leader Hoagy Carmichael, with later lyrics by Harold Adamson. CreationCarmichael had the melody, and then recorded it backed by the Gordon Jenkins Chorus and Orchestra. Released on March 15, 1951, it didn't feature well in the Hot 100. The Las Vegas StoryThe song is probably best known to American audiences for being in the closing sequence to the 1952 Jane Russell movie, The Las Vegas Story which was produced and directed by Howard Hughes. Hughes cast Carmichael as Happy the piano player in a bar, and Carmichael agreed that Hughes could commission Harold Adamson to write suitable lyrics. In its film review, Time Out magazine commented:[1] {{cquote|A minor RKO gem showing all the preferences of its then owner Howard Hughes (aeroplanes, brunettes, breasts and disenchanted heroes).... It all finishes with a perfunctory nod toward family values (by marrying off an irrelevant young couple), but the film wears its intentions on its sleeve with the final shot: Hoagy looks first at the seductive Russell, then winks at us as he sings, My Resistance Is Low}}Re-released as a result, this time with the Adamson lyrics sung by Carmichael, the song again didn't do well in the Hot 100, but released through Decca Records hit No.1 in the United Kingdom and a number of other countries.[2] Later releasesThe song became a perennial classic in the UK, with most releases since Carmichael's within that country.[2] The best known is 1976's (Clive) Robin Sarstedt's,[3] who became a one-hit wonder when the track reached No.3.[4]
The backing music to the Sarstedt version of the song is an indent track for the Danny Baker Saturday morning weekend show on BBC Radio 5 Live, used post the news and sport.
