Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Are things getting spooky enough
for you yet?
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUf4F9VXo_s - Spooky - Classics IV
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spooky_%28Classics_IV_song%29:
"Spooky" was originally an instrumental song performed by
saxophonist Mike Sharpe (Shapiro), written by Shapiro and Harry
Middlebrooks, Jr.,[1]
which first charted in 1967 hitting #57 on the US pop charts.
[2] Its best known version was created by The
Classics IV when guitarist
James Cobb and producer
Buddy Buie added lyrics centering on a "spooky little girl".[3]
In 1968, the vocal version of the song reached #3 in the U.S. (Billboard
Hot 100) and #46 in the UK.[4] Cobb (along with bandmates Robert Nix and Dean Daughtry) later became part of the Atlanta Rhythm Section and re-recorded "Spooky" in 1979. ARS's version hit #48 in the UK and #17 in the US.[5] "Spooky" has also been covered by a number of artists including Dusty Springfield (whose version was featured prominently in the Guy Ritchie film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Andy Williams, Martha and the Vandellas, Michel Pagliaro (recorded song in French), Velvet Monkeys, Daniel Ash, Lydia Lunch, R.E.M., The Jazz Butcher, GoldieLocks, Imogen Heap, David Sanborn,[6][7] The Golden Cups, The Puppini Sisters, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Marc Antoine, The Boris Gardiner Happening, Phish[8][9] and The Lettermen. The song's main riff is sampled in the song Why's Everbody Always Pickin' On Me? by Bloodhound Gang, released 1996. |
