Screamin' Jay Hawkins FTW. Any of you old timers remember that lip-sync show "Puttin' on the Hits"? Specifically the episode where that black guy painted his face white and lip-synced "I Put A Spell On You" while thrashing all over the stage in a cape? That was the first time I ever heard that song and I had no idea what was going on. That shit fucked me UP. I will never forget it, bless you Crazy Lip-Sync Dude, wherever you are.

No "When the Levee Breaks"?

TBH, I don't know about half of those songs.

Same. And I also agree with Melkor about Boris The Spider.
