Energy

It can't be easy to borrow a line from a song as great and catchy and well-known as Jackie DeShannon's great "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" and not the rest of the song. Props to the Apples in Stereo for somehow finding someplace else to take this song.

When You Walk in the Room

Sometimes stuff just don't make sense. When you consider she had a smash hit as the singer of "What the World Needs Now Is Love," and was the writer of "When You Walk in the Room," "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" and, yes, "Bette Davis Eyes," and that she was cute as a damn button—check out the way she comes in early in this clip and the embarrassed look she gets—how on earth was Jackie DeShannon not a much, much, much bigger star? It's as if Reese Witherspoon wrote great pop songs.


Such is life. As sweet solace, at least we have guitars playing lovely tunes.
