How did I come across this episodes covers? I can’t remember. But the original song is pretty fabulous. It’s the impeccable Nina Simone. This song was featured on the second “Six Feet Under” soundtrack, which is a disc I enjoy a lot. It also features Imogen Heap singing “I’m a lonely little petunia.” Can’t beat that.
Feeling Good – Nina Simone
You know, I picked this song to use, and this particular cover, because it gave me the perfect excuse to buy another Eels album. No, not just the one song, I needed to buy the entire album. I just did, ok? It’s probably been a couple of weeks since I mentioned how much I love the Eels, so let me do so now. I love love love them.
Feeling Good – Eels
You get a bonus 3rd track simply because I love a crooner. Also, I love Michael BublÈ’s last name. His last name is pretty much “bubble.” Hey… do you think that kids at school called him “BoobaGAY”? They probably did. Kids can be so cruel.
The Eels are pretty damn good, Nina Simone’s voice turns me on.
The kids at school were probably named “Guylaine” and “Marcel Faguy.” French funny names are way different than English ones.
i just realized that i loved that song and didn’t know it was by nina simone. also love the cover by the eels. the buble versions is cool too. it made me think of both the grinch stole xmas and the pink panther. very nice.
