Rasputina - Why Don't You Do Right

[urbanr0cker]

Peggy Lee's version is one of my all time favorite songs and I was SURE I would hate this but surprise, surprise I LOVE it.

[GreenShark4]

Funny, I remember this from Fallout.

[FatScotishguy]

I love this song and i love Rasputina i didnt know they coverd this song!

[sobored671]

FALLOUT3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VincentValentine1313]

Some of their serious charm comes from the off-key sound of the music and vocals, right? It's been a while since I listened to them so I think I need to retrain my ear to enjoy the dark sound and not sort of get annoyed at the off-key sound.

[MusicIIV]

EPIC!!! Just what I need. A cello and a awesome voice. I'm inspired :-)

[kittykat490]

When Jessica Rabbit did it, it was just sexy... When Rasputina does it, it seems to bring up the serious struggles of the 20s leading into the great depression.

[VincentValentine1313]

@kittykat490 Heh, well, maybe not struggles of the 20s since that was when everyone was enjoying themselves--but yes, this song was originally written in 1936--about a year that the Great Depression was finally ending in America. If anything, this sound here is about the bitterness the woman is feeling towards the man for screwing them up and getting them thrown out during the Depression.

[AbsinthianEnvy]

@kittykat490 Hahaha, ain't it the truth.

[littleweloosmom]

Who dislikes Rasputina? Seriously! Explain yourselves.

[Tyraxio]

@littleweloosmom *Steps out from behind you and threatens the dislikers with a flintlock gun*.

[littleweloosmom]

@Tyraxio Haha! Thanks. I just saw Rasputina last week and they are as amazing as ever.

[TheLegendOfZelda100]

Why do I have the image of a sort of bohemian sort of setting with musicians telling life stories with chellos and other instruments around a campfire or on a cold street? Weird.........

I <3 this! I am starting to like Rasputina.

[groar86]

@TheLegendOfZelda100 This is just the beginning, honey: the more you'll listen to them, the more you'll get hooked.

[EBlue75]

I love the photos! Where did you get them from?

GREAT VIDEO!

[Ielysey]

Русскоязычной публике это подозрительно напомнит то, что "музыканты самый циничный нород", если верить Чижу

[RetroSimplicity]

One of my favorites.

[wondergothic]

awesome ..... the voice she has is sooooo beautiful ....,^_^

[brunillo87]

what about the year of this song?

[Leestatlie]

@brunillo87

 McCoy wrote it 1936.

[SunMoonStars22]

I remember this song from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" Lol :]

[ExistentialGirl]

My roomate is a musician, acoustic kinda punk meets Leonard Cohen, and he wrote a good song called "I'm Sorry Jessica Rabbit", about how he can't do right. It's pretty fun.

[Phantomsbreath]

@ExistentialGirl That's pretty clever.

[d34dfaerie]

[TOAMNAxPRIMAVARA]
