The Staple Singers do an awesome cover of Slippery People by Talking Heads. Can't find a digital version, but if anyone does, it's worth an upload.

Imagine that, I never gave this song much thought until I heard it here. It is is a fun little groovy number.

I've not scoured the comments to see if anyone else has already pointed out the great stop-animation short that uses this song perfectly. It's called Ode to GI Joe , and I think I will forever imagine GI Joe dolls dancing to Mavis and company!! Check it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOt3S0Uq4KA

The youtube version i found has no audio... but this one does.

Seems like there is a bit of Soul revival going on lately. I hope it keeps going. We miss Mr. Jamerson....

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bill! Think the Staple singers will help us get that Death Cab dweeb vocalist into the dark faster? Hope springs eternal.

I'm sure there is a theme, but this set has been an emotional roller coaster ride. Wheeeee?

Nice to hear some music where they come in On The One after all those vaguely Icelandic,toy pianos and whining. Music from real people, not art-school people.


Exactly I fully agree with youmisterbearbaby ... this is REAL SOUL.. not the modernistic crap that has stolen the soul label.
