A more likely Sinatra choice for perfect pop tune, though pure Nancy,would be "These Boots Are Made for Walkin.'" "Something Stupid" has one of my favorite melodies--at least that's why I assume it gets stuck in my head all the time. Also, if you don't play a wind instrument, you could do a lot worse than learn to play melodies how Sinatra sang them. Of course, horn players could go learn circular breathing and defeat the whole purpose of guitarists thinking they need to learn how to "breathe."
Don't know where I'm going with this one.
Lee Hazlewood, who wrote "These Boots...", also wrote some songs for Duane Eddy and Frank Sinatra. He died about a year ago, but made some very interesting albums of his own and was in amazingly great spirits during some of his last interviews before succumbing to cancer.
