I think it's just the cut of his slacks and the lighting. I've seen "tumescent," and that AIN'T it. {#Lol}  All lechery aside, I thought this was Kate Bush doing the female vocal!  Kylie - wow. Sounds like you've grown up.  This was pretty good.

OK, so we had a very good Dar Williams song, then that awesome track by the Levelers.  I suppose I can live through this crappy duet.

Nick Cave is the only artist whose ENTIRE body of work I despise.  I am truly amazed that I have not heard one thing by him that I enjoy.  A first.  Awful.

I quite like this tune. I Like Kylie's voice - doesn't sound like Kate Bush, nope not at all but Nick kind of sounds like Madrugada in this song.

Interesting how many people dislike this song.  His voice is kind of irritating, but as far as murder songs go it's a pretty good one.  The guy always just loves the woman to pieces but is compelled to kill her.  There are a million of this type of song in bluegrass and my husband seems to know them all.  Hmmm...{#Think}

Cave has flat pitch, flat affect, flat tone. And she's trying to be breathy sexy, but it comes off fake.

No. She is terribly average in the musical sense. She is, on the other hand, extraordinarlily sexy. Nick gave her a glowing review because she f**ked him. How could he say anything bad after that? 

 
Thanks for explaining. To stay popular though, she's got a long row to hoe......   ....

There are some songs that make me turn off RP for an hour, or a few hours... this is one of them.

Alright...gotta drop this down to a 1...don't mind Kylie all that much, but she reminds me of Kate Bush in this song, who I don't like...and I've yet to hear anything by Nick Cave that I like.

Don't care for the Dead song after this all that much, either...think I'll go check out the LRC for a while.

Maybe, but the real problem here is Nick Cave's voice.
