I Like to Lead When I Dance
Jimmy Van Heusen & Sammy Cahn • 1964
A swinging comic number from the 1964 film Robin and the 7 Hoods, performed by Sinatra with characteristic bravado. The song plays on the battle-of-the-sexes dynamic that Cahn mined so effectively throughout his career — witty, self-deprecating, and impossible not to smile at.
