872. Wicked Game (Chris Isaak) - Pat Thompson

This song is from Isaak's third studio album, "Heart Shaped World". Though it was released as a single in 1989, it didn't become a hit until it was featured in David Lynch's movie, "Wild At Heart", thanks to Lee Chesnut, an Atlanta radio station music director who was obsessed with David Lynch films and began playing the song. This led to it becoming a nationwide top ten hit in January 1991, the only hit song of Isaak's career in the U.S.

It is sung here by Pat Thompson at a session of the Hong Kong Folk Society at the Canny Man in Wan Chai.

That little camera's broken down all together now, so I couldn't do any recording at all at the most recent (and my last) session.

Bad record, but good song, !

Greetings, Chris
