Paul Anka sings Soundgarden (Black Hole Sun)

Live performance at the Jazz festival in Montreal 2005
In my eyes, in disposed,
In disguise:as no one knows
Hides the face Lies
The snake, the sun
In my disgrace
Boiling heat, Summer stench
'Neath the black
The sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I'll hear you
Scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind
Tired friend
Times are gone
For honest men
And sometimes
Far too long
For snakes
In my shoes
A-walking sleep
And my youth
I pray to keep
Heaven send, Hell away
No one sings
Like you anymore
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just
Disappear
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come

@KatrinaMess check out his version of smells like teen spirit. works better i think. i usually watch the version of him on letterman

[KatrinaMess]

I can't decide if this is really brave or just utterly bizarre! Yes, the orchestra is on, but the Vegas/ Anka "happy sounds" are really at odds with the lyrics. Maybe both. Brave yet utterly bizarre. I don't care for it.

[JendaHrbac]

Huge Soundgarden fan but this is just great version. The whole album is superb. The orchestra is just dead on, they don't miss a beat. Wonderful!

[uliqed]

This is so ridiculous :)

[mumblegrunt]

this is fuckin shit

[kajuku666]

This one shows me how many classics Soundgarden created...listen to Rusty Cage performed by Johnny Cash, you'll like it

Pearljamporch: you're a self-righteous dick.

[scodav]

Amazing performance. At first it really seems like he's feeling it (love the string charts), then, midway in, he proves he doesn't have a clue!

@pearljamporch O fuck you. Of all the genres in the world, rock is the one that really shouldn't have any sacred cows. By making this cover Paul Anka is more rock than you traditionalists.
