How interesting, Charles. I didn't know that line was a song lyric, nor had I heard of Calloway. But I'm not surprised. Seems like all the good lines were thought up long ago. I first heard "got what it takes" from my mom when I was a young teen. She was warning me to never give it away for nuthin'.
