"The composer for "I Put a Spell on You," Screamin' Jay Hawkins, used to pop out of a coffin onstage and other gimmickry when he performed the song as an R&B tune. He sounded possessed. Nina Simone added horns and strings to her arrangement, turning it into a haunting ballad. It became one of her most popular songs."

You made a rhyme just in time :p

The (Wannabe) Poet's Lament
by Victor Columbus Brunswick :D

I wish I could write a poem
If I only had the talent, I'd show em'
But try and try as I might
Lyrical prose I simply can't write
It seems that no amount of tuition
Will bring to fruition my poetic ambition
Of my attempts at emulation of Byron and Keats
The ignominous result is resounding defeat
But I've pinpointed the reason for my lack of success
And why it is that my efforts, quite frankly, are a total mess
It's the thing that frustrates me time after time
I just can't seem to make the damn thing rhyme!


and now following our poetry reading is a musical interlude

Oliver Naylor's Orchestra -- Sweet Georgia Brown (1925)
