Two posts ago, I mentioned songs that get covered by a bunch of different artists. I forgot to mention 'I Put A Spell On You' which is one of those amazing songs that you can never get sick of.
Screaming Jay Hawkings wrote the song in 1956, which I will add last, mainly for impact as it's the best version in my opinion.
Here is Nina Simone's very famous take. God what a voice.
This is Creedence
Nick Cave, does my favourite cover.
I grew up watching this movie over and over. This is just for fun from the movie Hocus Pocus, with Bette Midler singing.
Marilyn Manson's (urgh)
Many others have done covers including the very awesome Bees. Also the Animals, Jeff Beck, Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Iggy Pop, Bonnie Tyler, Katie Melua (I'd rather have cat aids thank you- side for RSR) and many others.
But finally here is Screaming Jay Hawkins. I suggest watching to the end, it really is phenomenal what this man can do with his voice.
