The Musical Interlude...

When I went looking for this first song, I got really ticked off... because the only videos of it on YouTube were a fan video of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" that couldn't be embedded, and this cover, which I fully expected to be crap... but it's not half bad (not as savagely beautiful as the original... no cover could ever be)...

Fiona Apple and "I Want You", originally by Elvis Costello (who is playing guitar in this clip)...

You can see the "Nightmare..." one here, just so you can appreciate the original (and you will appreciate it, dammit! ;-D ): www.youtube.com/watch?v=URV1_pwdTso

I used to be a much bigger Eurythmics fan than I am now... but there is one Annie Lennox song that gets me every time, even though I've never seen the film it featured in - just her voice blows me away...

"Love Song For A Vampire" from "Bram Stoker's Dracula"...
