  3. kristiana says Gosh, thanks Bill! I coulda sworn one of you fellas put this song on a mix, but alas, no! Ya know what's funny? I was swingin' in my kitchen, and it occurred to me to try it out...then I came and hunted down a video. And I would say that if ya compared, our demeanor and delivery were pretty much identical. Right down to the way she delivers the line "she said daddy oh don't ya dare, he give me fever!", and juts her chin out. Thank you, too, Bartleby! I'm thinking it's a great set opener.

  4. ivylander says I can't play videos at work (the audio clips work fine, though they annoy the neighbors), so I didn't know what song you'd posted. My response is workable for anything Peggy Lee ever recorded, except maybe that Siamese cat song in "Lady adn the Tramp." "Fever," truth be told, is not my favorite Peggy Lee moment, or maybe I've just heard it too often. I'll try and post something cooler tonight, if I can find it....

  5. Blue Meenie says I'm thinkin' it would be a great 2nd set opener....although I dunno what kinda stuff your playing. I'm sure you do a swinging version.

  8. kristiana says Fever, it is, Bill. But it'll be smokin'. I just have to pass the idea past the guys first... BM, there will be no second set. In and out. Basically, rocknroll. But not always typical. That would be boring. Thanks Cat! Oh, probably. Likely. And they will all be groupies when THE HOT DAMNS! get through with them. ;) You're welcome Bryan!

  11. Spike says She puts it across effortlessly, imparting amused wisdom using only minimal facial gestures. Another marvel from kristiana.

  15. brendanhalpin says Yeah, that's some hot stuff. My favorite version of this song, with the exception of The Cramps'.

  16. I am says Did you ever consider Eartha Kit? She kinda raunchy, not a wide range to her voice, and if you forget the song you can always growl a bit. Grrrrrr.

  19. kristiana says hehe. I wasn't putting much thought into it at all, it just kinda hit me at some point yesterday while I was dancing around my kitchen to Ella&Dizzy! And all of a sudden it seemed perfect.

  25. poebegone says you'll be smokin', in any case. does this mean you're going blond, too? i can't wait to see you guys play. and i can't wait to hear you guys better than that last time you put up an mp3 that puts the word lo-fi to shame. ;p go get 'em, girl.
