Words fail me. Well, not really, but I'm reduced to burbling little ones, like "WOW" and "63!" and....sentences. Sentences fail me. You need to see this.

SHIRLEY BASSEY!




DAME SHIRLEY BASSEY!

That's blocked from work... but I can only assume it's Dame Bassey covering Pink's "Get This Party Started", which I also recently discovered.

I am convinced that woman can make absolutely anything sound classy and sexy.

The most amazing thing about Shirley Bassey is that she somehow manages to turn every song that she sings into a James Bond movie theme song.

And of course she's wearing a pink dress.

Amusing.

Holy crap!

How have I missed this woman's existence?

/Has/ she been knighted? Cool!

My player stops it halfway, but indeed, I am in awe. (And it does sound like a Bond song now!)

All Hail!

Wow!

I wonder if she does U and Your Hand?

Her face is so wrong for that song. Her voice, on the other hand, is such that I'd listen to her cover much more incongruous things than that.

Gosh.

That is made of awesome!

Holy wow.

She's still amazing!

Wasn't William Bennett saying you've got to teach your kids the classics?
