Screamin' Jay's grunts, groans, moan, screams, and gibberish about voodoo on the immortal I Put A Spell On You are the very definition of stoopid! Jay recorded it lying on the floor with the mike in one hand and a bottle in the other. He was so drunk that by the next morning he forgot he'd cut the song; when it became a hit he had to learn it from his own record before he could perform it. As a bonus super - musicians Mickey Guitar Baker and Sam the Man Taylor are backing Screamin' Jay on the song.
