Busy today much of this week, but here’s a third helping of ditties from the ephemera archives.
Joe Thompson: Sticky Fingers. (2000)
The Ink Spots: Your Feet’s Too Big. (1935)
Marlene Dietrich: You Go to My Head. (1938)
The Skatalites: James Bond Theme. (1967)
Screamin’ Jay Hawkins: I Put a Spell on You. (1956)
Johnny Cash: Personal Jesus. (2003)
Herbie Hancock: Triangle. (1963)
Louis Armstrong: High Society. (1956)
Ethel Waters: Stormy Weather. (1933)
Shawn Lee and his Ping Pong Orchestra: Cha Love. (2005)
The bar is now open.
The Johnny Cash version is actually creepier.

The (relatively) low-key approach helps in that respect.

Louis Armstrong's version of "You Go To My Head" blew me away. It's around somewheres...
Cheers.
