Seafood Cover

I've just been very pleasantly surprised. The final track on the new Seafood album is a cover version of "Willow's Song". For those of you with less culture, it has nothing to do with Willow from BTVS, but is in fact a song from classic horror/musical, The Wicker Man.

If you've seen the film, you may not remember the song very well, as it's the one sung by Britt Ekland as she dances naked around her bedroom whilst banging on the walls. And the poor policeman in the room next door is just trying to get some sleep. The nakedness is quite distracting, but all the same it's a brilliantly haunting piece of music, and the Seafood version is pretty damn good too. Sadly however it did not lead to any naked girls dancing round the flat (though I didn't actually check all the rooms - maybe she was in the back bedroom?). Think I might go and watch the original version on DVD. Just for research and comparison purposes you understand...

Inicidentally, not only did Britt not actually sing the song in the film, it was not even her naked body the whole time - the actual girl used for the longer shots was called Lorraine Peters. Apparently Britt was slightly pregnant at the time and they decided to use someone else's bottom. Never trust anything you see on screen!
