YouTube Song of the Week

Thanks to Satanica Batcakes for the following...

Screamin Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orNpH6iyokI

From Wikipedia.org:

Hawkins had originally intended to record "I Put a Spell on You" as a refined love song, a blues ballad. He reported, however, that the producer "brought in ribs and chicken and got everybody drunk, and we came out with this weird version. I don't even remember making the record. Before, I was just a normal blues singer. I was just Jay Hawkins. It all sort of just fell in place. I found out I could do more destroying a song and screaming it to death."
