Imogen Heap - Spooky

[lexlex862]

i like it its a bit zany but she sings great

[DavidB5501]

Imogen Heap recorded this in a few days because someone wanted it in a hurry for a film soundtrack. She only does cover versions when someone asks her.

[TheBSideDJ]

looking for THE BAND "spooky", one of the better 90's ambient collectives.... i'll surch further...sorry but this, no tanx, no need to be mellow...

[truthslap]

interesting cover, not too bad.

[SpoonieMcLuv]

Love this song, reminds me of when I was the spooky little boo.

[robbielg]

imogen is so groovy

[Lukapho]

@robbielg not nearly as groovy as any of the originals of this tune. Fucking modern artist taking all this credit for old hits. I'm not saying imogen heap isn't good (well, in remixes that is), just that people shouldnt be commenting saying "oh wow i love imogen heap, what a genius.. amazing lyrics.." etc.

CLASSICS IV / DUSTY SPRINGFIELD!!!

[TheDubTekk]

anyone else want to be her spooky little boy?

[Pager1991]

@TheDubTekk hell yeah she's sexy as hell

[oneway727]

mmm..anyone else want a round?

[1992jwood]

this song is an atlanta rythem section song good to see a new artist covering it!!!

[truthslap]

@1992jwood I beg your pardon? Spooky is a Classics IV song, it's the first and best version of this song, written by their singer Dennis Yost.

[Weesiebugger]

i like how her voice is strong and soft at the same time, then she just POOOF..gives out, i love it

[iiimadmaniii]

wtf..i definately do not have this song on that album.

[knobowski]

Jo, I can not make it better.

[ticklemebrightpink1]

[Peace4905]

[Elegance000]

[maddie6218]

[soulsinger26]

Just came across this version of Spooky, she certainly has a very sultry voice. I like it!!

Well done Imogen, I'm sure Dusty would be proud!

[BachCellist]

Beautiful, brilliant. Enough said.

[Mathiaswillyg]

Bei diesem Titel kann man eigentlich nichts falsch machen.

[MalonTheFarmGirl]

@Sax4565 I did. I was like 'woot! She did this perfectly!'

[Tr3bass]

This feels so Sade' Im in love with Imogen's music.

[sunnybeets2055]

lol this song is the story of my life...

[Sax4565]

Does any one know that this tune is about 60 years old? You can find lots of funky versions on YouTube :D

[supakiwibaby]

[MattXD95]

Elavator music

[interestingliz]

@MattXD95

Elevator. Learn how to spell that.... But you are totally right. But she is not popular enough for her songs to be in elevators. Sadly.

[nathanB091]

i love the softness of her voice, it makes me melt . It's like recieving sexual pleasure through sound :p

[tool404]

@nathanB091 Haha you just managed to put into words exactly how I feel with her music.

[CertifiedHitz314]

@nathanB091 Your mom gives me the same feeling :)

[nathanB091]

@CertifiedHitz314 your dad gives you the same feeling.

[CertifiedHitz314]

@nathanB091 Your mom and dad made you, and later in the night you'll get hit by and car and die, then ur parnents will divorce and your mom will permanently give me that feeling :)

[musicislife744]

@CertifiedHitz314 WTF

[CertifiedHitz314]

@musicislife744 yes bitch :)

[musicislife744]

@CertifiedHitz314 LOL. no

[Hohtosusi]

@nathanB091 eargasm ;)

[whatifwemet]

okay i'm starting to fall in love

[RandomLazars01]

I am a huge Percy Jackson fan, thought the movie sucked, and LOVE IMOGEN HEAP<3 Whenever I hear this song, I can just picture an animated music video (drawn. Not using anime clips. Ahk.) popping up in my head for Nico and Thalia<3

[TheBobv]

this is sweet

[twilightnightstar]

theres a bit jazz in it luv it! xD shes amazing :D

[superradiobomb]

I love how the featured video related this one is spooky ufos in iraq

[neyotatina]

[KingCrimson776]

[TheGenification]

She got it!

[captaincolumbus]

Great cover of the song "Cocaine"

[Danielapie]

OOh! groovilicoius!

[NRGzatul]

Nice voice ... It sounds great! And the song is one of her best.

[20mummeli]

relaxing : )

[wutdehel]

love u and this song

[mushirahh]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[steelyman08]

Brilliant!

[SlamminStam]

Rap artists think it's cool to ruin amazing old songs, huh? Well, IH counters them, and redoes these songs with style and actual talent! :D

[Zeppolino100]

Originally by the Classics Four back in the mid sixties, this updated version is straight on and hypnotic. Springfield's version was fine, Sade would have done it justice, but neither with the verve that Imogen brings.

[hymnofashes]

Damn. This reminds me of the scene in Amadeus where Mozart takes Salieri's march and while he's proving that he memorized it one hearing, also improves it exponentially.

[ASIthLordsPoet19]

beautiful!!!!!!!

[jnfrye07]

I hear Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" in this song. Definitely. Anyone else hear it?

[sunriseRISE]

@jnfrye07 ...eric didnt write Cocaine

[mishybutterfly]

looooovvveeee iiiiiiittttt!!!!!!!! very good cover



[teagahbeck]

luv it ... kisses from brazil : )

[reinuvarez]

Sounds just like "Smooth operator" by Sade :D

But i like it.

[DavidB5501]

@reinuvarez Apart from the backing vocals, the arrangement is pretty close to the 1970 version by Dusty Springfield, which I'm sure Sade would be familiar with.

[AngelTabbris]

its old. its unique.

its new. its refreshing.

how can i reconcile these opinions?

I can't. its too amazing to contain in one category alone.

but the thing is, IT'S AMAZING!

[Daemondeserteagle]

First of all, Lady Gaga is a faggot ass bitch crybaby and This is amazing

[tremalzo2008]

it s funky

[DavidGoliath]

I want to drink and savor Immi's voice and all of her talent.

[Cardien18]

This song reminds of something that happened to m recently ...minus the love lol

[believeinme777]

14 slipped and hit dislike ;P

[DemonToastMonster]

Fourteen people missed the Like Button

[Englandfails]

Shes got talent, REAL talent!

[amelia516]

[LIVE2LUV2LIVE]

@amelia516 yeah!!

[sailorfullmoon]

[CAPRICORNCUTIE]

[debbiejoon333]

[socom2forLIFE]

[TechDeck723]

Great Cover!

[JmanNardface]

@TechDeck723 Who made the original?

[TechDeck723]

@JmanNardface The Classic IV's

[JmanNardface]

@TechDeck723 Thanks!

[johnlaw84]

i hear a lil sade

[RandomLazars01]

@YourUTubeMonitor Why are you bringing up some whole other guy? Fuck ass.

[spectrum99122]

Wonderful recorded and she doesn't disappoint either. Strange though, I don't recall this old Andy Williams tune from her at all!!!!

[Jaedeykins]

It seams that 12 people have accidentally pressed the thumbs down button.

[BwsGang14]

@Jaedeykins people are intitled to their opinions as you are to yours, i disagree when them but no point in complaining bout it

[Jaedeykins]

@BwsGang14 Ahahaha I was only joking about it! people are also entitled to crack a joke every now and then

[BwsGang14]

@Jaedeykins haha i get ya. song is nice tho. 

[punkpress]

omg jazz hit xD

[Dygiidur]

The only thing I hate about this song is the fact that it ended.

[SirBob202]

Music is subjective. Everyone looks for something different. I love both lady gaga and Imogen, but lady gaga can't make me start crying. The emotion that imogen brings to her songs to me makes listening to her almost like a complete full meal instead of the lighter lady gaga stuff. But, I'm sure other people might like that or look for it.

[DefinedART]

Oceans Eleven Win

[luckyem123z]

Imogen is an amazing singer she has a truely amazing voice. She doesn't have some autotune voice, singing songs where you repeat the same line over and over again, or sings songs with no meany, she's truely unique and an amazing artist.

[alisjdof]

Lady Gaga and Imogen Heap are two extremely different artists and should not be compared. End of story. kthxbai.

[szimplanulla3]

It's not so bad. no it's very good.

but i think Harcsa Veronika's version(you can find it in the right side) is much better.

[luckyem123z]

@szimplanulla3 BOO!! Imogen is amazing!

[BeautyOfWar]

i can't believe the stupid shit people argue over... stop comparing imogen and lady gaga to one another.. please just stop.

[MrDLHart]

Its not that I hate Lady Gaga... I hate all her Hype.. Shes SO overrated.

[SirStiffers]

To all those of you saying that Lady Gaga can't sing and has no talent, she actually writes her own music, choreographs most of her videos, spends all the money she earns on her live shows and performances, actually has a very good voice and should not be judged in the same light as you would with the real talentless singers of today (e.g Cheryl Cole and Pixie Lott). Anyway on the actual topic of the song, I love Imogen Heap and can't wait 'till I see her at Glastonbury this year :)

[TheThcQueen]

wtf.

guys. lady gaga isn't even in the same league as imogen heap.

it's like comparing a glass of orange juice to a cup of tea.

this is amazingly done this song aswell :) love love love.

[lluisbardet]

@TheThcQueen

I think is not a good comparation (glass of orange juice and cup of tea). I prefer glass of juice, but, there're not possible comparation between Imogen heap and Lady gaga, Tey're so different, but, anyways... Imogen is better haha

Everybody can choose his own likes =)

[TheThcQueen]

@lluisbardet

it wasn't supposed to be any comparison...

i was saying they are completely different artists.

i prefer imogen too :D haha

[Constance0Lirit]

Lets all just agree Lady Gaga is a talentless singer and be over with it, besides what does she have to with Imogen ?

[loujunk92]

Classicsssss IV! Look up the original! Imogen's version is pretty righteous, doe.

[cabellagal]

impressive !!!

[chaya84]

totally unexpected :D but so groovy! this kind of sound is so perfect for imogen! she needs to do more like this one ;)

[Simpson4you]

uuuuuuh aaaahh *sssscccch* hmmmmm ^^

Like you xD so so like the sound ;)

[MARREORO]

this version is so sensitive sexy and so magical! as if her voice is doubled in some sequences...i love this alsmost electro version! eastwick !

[MitchellLoves420]

i fuckin love this song .

really relaxing .

which is so what i need right now .

[StarGidgetchan]

Totaly lovely

[AidentheMagnificent]

I like Dusty's version better

[ryohayashi]

i love both versions, they are equally great in different ways. and both are works of their time

[Constance0Lirit]

anyone else get Casper the friendly ghost lol ?

[FISHFACEmatt]

I'd say its got more more funk influences than jazz and I do think it's a cover, hence the funkiness and the pure Immi awesomeness!!!! :p

[AzothEther]

@FISHFACEmatt It is indeed a cover. This songs first incarnation was instrumental. It has since been redone by such names as david sanborn and now imogen. this is an OLD old song... one of the best.

[ThaFunnyGuy]

Next time i host a party..i'm definatly putting this on to heighten the mood :)

[gothicanimelover8]

It makes you feel like your at a jazz party, it makes you feel like you want to dance. <3

[johnybrovo2008]

Yes! Bringing back the oldies! Go Imogen!

[forsakable123]

mmm, i like the jazz feel in it :)

[ttothectothek]

@forsakable123 its more samba-y but i agree :D

[Sunnygirl244]

100th comment!! whoo-hoo!!

luv dis song!!

[DavidB5501]

According to Wikipedia, Spooky " was originally an instrumental song by saxophonist Mike Sharpe (Shapiro) which first charted in 1967 hitting #57 on the US pop charts. Its best known version was created by The Classics IV when guitarist James Cobb and producer Buddy Buie added lyrics (Harry Middlebrooks, Jr. is also credited as a writer)"

There are numerous cover versions.

[noapologiesnoregrets]

there IS another version of this song on the lock, stock soundtrack.

good song.

but this is a cover, right?

[theRockabillyRhino]

Perfect down to each note. Pure bliss.

[AzothEther]

there is a very good version of this song without vocals, the lead was a jazz trumpet player, but I forget who it was.

[ReserveCellar]

Are you possibly thinking of saxman David Sanborn?

[AzothEther]

quite possibly, I don't necessarily know what  i am talking about, but I have heard that one for sure. I just thought there was a trumpet version.

[Juditta78]

@AzothEther

maybe Dusty Springfield?

[DavidB5501]

Dusty Springfield did record it, around 1970, but I don't know if she was the first. Imogen Heap recorded it for a film soundtrack (Just Like Heaven?), not Six Feet Under. She did record a short version of 'I'm a Lonely Little Petunia' for SFU.

[inertia720]

The original of this song has been around for a few decades, but this particular version is a cover that Imogen did for the soundtrack of the TV show "Six Feet Under," if I'm not mistaken.

[TheIvoryhorse]

I think this is a remix of a song. I just don't know the name. Over the summer i heard it sooooo much!

[JunoMacguff2012]

The lyrics make me laugh.

[dudeimamazingbeef]

This is awesome. 'nough said.

[coocoocachoo1]

im not sure but it kind of sounds like the song that red head lady sang in Eastwick

[NyriaMarbeu]

it is the song but the other one had more of a "jazzy" fell

[ladymarquis]

She's as cool as dry ice.. love it.

[acerb45666555]

excellent job!

[MrMountainshore]

This is spooky!! Immi you are the best!

[eugeneherman]

Very, very cool shit. Imogen simply blows away any dullness. A brilliant lady, Bless her!

[awesome6rocks]

its sooo jazz like

[owen4510]

cause she stole the beat

[chreescawks]

You can't "steal" a type of beat, that's ridiculous.

[myboner]

Original beat by saxophonist Mike Sharp

[awesome6rocks]

this is awesome

[DeathJunkE]

God this has got to be my favorite song from Imogen.... its so sexy and swave

[Maceymae27]

I F*ing love imogen heap!

[AbominableSnowRabbit]

Imogen is the best!!!

[Nanpiper]

oh my...its better than the original....scary

[GUAlliance]

I love Imogen but Dusty is my favorite

[Toyboy789]

Fucking awesome version of a truly great classic! And I've loved the original Classics IV version since its release in the late 60s! An excellent posting!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NMG0418]

Love her! Can't wait for the new album "Ellipse". Just watched the video trailer for it on her official youtube page

[Rach2killu]

shes an awsome singer. Shes much better than top hits now aday!

[macsmetal]

way better...

but really anything is better than songs on the charts, I just totally turned off the radio now because most of it makes my head hurt

[pompom2001]

this is MUSIC.

not silly blondes with push up bras covering their hideous voices with auto tone =]]

[DeathJunkE]

i agree whole heartedly

[TwilightFlip]

@pompom2001

and singing about waking up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy and brushing her teeth with a bottle of jack :P LOL.

[pompom2001]

@TwilightFlip damn right! lol

[lelouchlibritannia]

@pompom2001 preach all you want. People will still like Lady Gaga. An ugly, talentless drag queen is what the public likes, just because it dresses like a gladiator and has weird hairdos.

[MuleMarie]

@lelouchlibritannia

I like Lady Gaga AND Imogen Heap. Both for their different music styles. Quit the judging and bitter attitude.

[lelouchlibritannia]

@MuleMarie actually if you like Lady Gaga you have no taste in music. I'm usually tolerant...but...no. Lady Gaga blows monkey dick.

[MuleMarie]

@lelouchlibritannia So I guess Imogen Heap must suck because I also like Lady Gaga and that means I have no taste in music? Lolno, don't think so. Good job on being dumb because not everyone shares all the views you have on music.

[Radiophonia]

@MuleMarie There's nothing wrong with liking both. Lady Gaga is a singer - she does the job, her songs are catchy and fulfill the criteria of a pop song. I'd say Imogen Heap had more talent though - she writes her own songs and produces them herself in her own studio.

[d7reischl7]

@MuleMarie Really??? Are you comparing the two? How? Ok Lady Gaga has a good voice but the only reason she is unique is for the simple reason that she is a fucking freak! Imogen has a great voice and she make things sound like her own, she brings a whole new style to music and its ten times better than all that main stream bullshit that people listen to these days. Lady Gaga has nothing unique going for her except her personality, witch is all mainly a show in my opinion.

[MuleMarie]

@d7reischl7 Um, no. I'm not comparing the two. My comment was in response to someone who was. I don't really care about your opinion on Lady Gaga or Imogen Heap, so don't bother preaching it to me. The fact remains; I like them both. I like their music. Once again, quit the judging and the bitter attitude.

[thebassguy9083]

@MuleMarie Lady Gaga has ten times less humility haha

[bgf97]

@MuleMarie SECONDING THAT.

[alana27272727]

@MuleMarie really, why dont u tell me what you like about lady gagas video "alejandro"? <3
