Err, would that be a visual sandwich (or a woman in the coven having a yodel? = songwitch) caused by watching Tarantino movies?

Sure. It's good the influences are transparent. Paying your respects to someone who led the way in the genre is fine by me.

No correlation, but a sweet memory of reading the children's book by the same name a couple thousand times to my little boy (when he was little!)...

I really like this half chilling and bouncy nature of this tune. Cool balance if you ask me. If you don't?...it's still cool dammit.

A hint of Dolly Parton's voice in there...

Apparently it's quite an old practise, and not always associated with weddings. There was a story in my family about an ancestor being killed in a shivaree. One of our relatives doing research actually tracked down the actual event and found the newspaper articles about it in the Montreal Gazette (and it differed greatly from the version that had been told to me).

Apparently a crowd had gathered a couple of nights running (they even put up posters to spread the word) to try to extort money from a wealthy member of the community. In one of these a shot was fired and my ancestor, a servant in the man's household, was killed. He left a wife and children, and his death led to the banning of shivarees in Montreal.

Glad we just have bachelor parties before the ceremony now.

This is a rather dark and chilling song... I can't even fathom this kind of paranoia, much less live with it every day of my life. And there are people out there who do live with it every day.  My heart goes out to them...

"Goodnight Moon"

There's a nail in the door
And there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns
When you're gone

There's a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can't stand

What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home

Well goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

Well you're up so high
How can you save me
When the dark comes here
Tonight to take me up
To my front walk
And into bed where it kisses my face
And eats my head

Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

I might like this song if I hadn't read that book to my kids about a gazillion times.

Her voice sounds quite a bit like Marcella Detroit / Shakespear's Sister. Pretty good song, nice sound... 8.

Fun to hear this song, which evidently has had regular RP rotation, so long after its release.  Very nice song.

I like it, but it's either on heavy rotation right now, or I just happened to have caught it several times in the last few days. I've heard it enough for now. Thanks Bill!

Well, it's now October of 2011, and this song still gives me chills. It'd be a great background song for a Halloween party, because it's so creepy.  I love it, though - listening to it is like watching a horror movie from behind one's hands, but spreading the fingers just a little to see the skeery parts...

"Linkify"  What a marvelous, worthless verbification.  I can't wait to loopify my friends about this.  Thanks!
