Forget Marilyn Manson, Deicide and Mercyful Fate - this is REAL black magic/occult music! This guy is a voodoo priest. I bet he could turn you into a zombie.

Of course Pops voice is always SUPERB.

I love that Pop Staples, a gospel singer, is sing about Papa Legba. He gets it, it's just a role in a movie, not who he is.
Every time I hear this song I think of the scene at the 1:40 mark. great movie

Love it!!

A brilliant, brilliant, delightful, funny, poignant movie that everyone should see. Thank you David Byrne.

heard this song for the first time today and it blew my mind

The audio for this video is distorted: the pitch is higher than in the original film. This alteration is not divulged, and constitutes a change to the original piece.

I wonder if Pops Staples ever caught hell from anybody for singing a voodoo song. I would figure that, in the Christian circles he ran in, a lot of folks would get unnecessarily grumpy about that.
