Screamin Jay Hawkins was such a performer! This song is so hilarious yet so forward for the times in which it was made! The video was performed with taboo themes for the time.
Many other singers have tried to make it their own. I like Nina Simone's version of the song too. So beautiful. Love this song.
Oh I love the song as well! Thanks for the reminder, I didnt have it in my iTunes (going to download it now!
