What a great album! I've had this 2CD set The Essential Etta James, for a while now. Just popped it in...it's freakin awesome! But she does a version of You Can Leave Your Hat On. Ummm, well, it's good musically, but I don't think I'm going to be dancing on a chair for anyone. Besides, that would have to be a strong-ass chair.

Go over there, turn on the light
Hey, all the lights
Come over here, stand on that chair
Yeah, that's right
Raise your arms up in the air
Now shake 'em

On occassion I tend to go off on some rants, trying to guilt y'all into getting involved and sticking it to The Man. And don't get me wrong, I respect what this cat is doing...but I would never expect anyone (myself included) to dress up like a big piece of crap. (The pictures are OK, but you gotta check out the video)
