LET IT FLY BRO

When it comes right down to it, has there ever been anybody who better personified Halloween creep full time than Screamin' Jay Hawkins? For years, too; to the extent that it may have actually lessened the chance of big time stardom. The man was a nut.. First, listen to "I Put a Spell On You". Yes, marvel again at its unrivaled creepy awesomeness. Then check the clip below, from 1983, of him and Serge Gainsbourg. That's roughly twenty seven years later. Dude was certifiable.
