Rickie Lee Jones - Anna (Go To Him)

[Adequates63]

Rickie Lee is an American Treasure. She is my Elvis.

[Staxrock]

I love this woman with all my heart and soul!

[Cuzindude]

wow

John Lennon as Ken, nah, can't see it. he would beat the krap out of Ken and take off with Barbie in her new car.

[pooley29]

Love Rickie Lee Jones!!! And Jon Brion can compliment anyone. He's amazing.

Fun!

[TheDrollzist]

totally charming...made me remember some ruff stuff I did to poor Barbie while listening to the Doors. *eg* (My Barbie waited for G.I. Joe to get back from the war, and she had tats before they were...art du jour?

[thamytax]

yes

[TheSocratease]

anna is yet another cover of an early R&B classic. So is Twist and Shout. Cultural banditry when no one mentions the original artist or creators. The ironies continue. I like the Beatles and Ricki Lee Jones, but they need to acknowledge they both are copyong someone eles's work.

[starat007]

thanks for the great r.l. jones - she rocks it!

[BOOMER751]

Two of my favourite musicians... holly cow!

[spg1211]

BEATLES ARE EXCELENT YOU ARE POOR!!!

[whatthehellidid]

Ahhh fuckin magical is what this is

[1234lovemedo]

Thanks thecatkeaton, Jon and Ricki Lee J. Wonderful!

Hey Barbie: Excellent performance. Great! - What's new? Where's Ken?

[RedWolfSV]

Singing with an imaginary Barbie . . . , that's Ricky. Always genuine, often hilarious. Gotta love her.

[efil4own1]

mmm hmmm him... --Al Bundy

[johnjoneschicago]

@efil4own1 I totally get this reference, and never knew what song Al Bundy was even talking about until I bought all the Beatles remasters. What a cool version this is.

[SONGsanmanwah]

came across this little clip and oh i so love it. both artists sure had a good time!

[tolly63]

Rickie, forever the artisan, candid & fantastic.

[marcie99]

oh so loved thisssssssssssssssssss!!!!

[idabell3]

i can't believe these tacky comments about this obvious impromptu rendition of anna ... and "post nasal drip"? i hope you were saying that with love and respect for ricki. have you ever written one song that would stand up to the least of hers? ricki is a gem and a genius. go away you people who speak out of ignorance and disrespect for ricki lee jones, one of the coolest persons on the planet. its about the heart in her voice, not the quality of the voice at any one given time.

[fayedunawayfan]

I am in reverence of this woman's artistry and her lovely soul.

[penylane68]

go home

[Untitled3891]

i'm sick of people always critizicing everybody who has made a cover for one of the beatles songs, i don't say that the beatles are bad, cause i also like them, but come on they're not the best the band and they have done as much as other bands or singers.. so it's ok if a good singer like rickie lee wants to cover the beatles...

[ldnearthesea]

Terrible voice? Check Rickie Lee Jones singing "Makin' Whoopee" with Dr. John on this site, and then make a comment afterwards about RLJ's voice. Like most great singers, she can sing using several different "voices" for effect. Not only that, she's written most of anything she's ever recorded, plays guitar and piano, and does good covers: jazz, blues, r&b, rock & roll, country/western, gospel: she's done it all, kinda like that guy she used to hang around some 30 years ago, Tom Waits.

[kint909]

@ldnearthesea Without knowing her, the voice here IS pretty bad. Maybe not representative for the rest of her work. And how much she wrote is not related to her voice.

[andyinoregon]

Please replace reality TV with shows like this.  Thank you Jon and Rickie Lee and thanks for sharing the video.

[HomerMFishbulb]

Exactly. What a treat!

[PiNi0n]

It's horrible !

I love this song and she destroyed it.

[renoufarnold]

this girls voice is terrible, she oompletely destroyed this song

[unclebobunclebob]

"this girl's?" do you have any conception of what "this girl" has accomplished as an artist? She was goofing around. Where is your sense of humor?

[BlargyBlue]

Excellent.

I wish Rickie Lee Jones could really perform with what's left of the Beatles. Maybe they could do this song. Bring the house down.

[garzaeduardo]

just love that post nasal drip.best rendition ever.

[verdalee]

The Realest musical artist ever.
