@shanel1975 Actually, this song was written in the 60's by a guy named John Loudermilk. I believe the Norah Jones version came before the Kevin Little remix. A lot of artists have actually covered it.
thanks for that! you are indeed correct! I had no idea this song was made so long ago! Wikipedia: "Turn Me On" is a song by John D. Loudermilk that was first recorded and released by Mark Dinning in 1961, as the B-side to his single "Lonely Island". Other notable versions are by Nellie Rutherford and Nina Simone.[1] Norah Jones released her version as the last single from her debut album Come Away with Me. The song was also performed by Shelby Dressel during her American Idol audition.[2] It has been suggested that the song influenced the composition of Leonard Cohen's 1969 song "Bird on the Wire".[3]
This is Cocorosie. They always flip styles around to interesting effect. Note the album version of Werewolf versus the live version of Werewolf you can find here on youtube.
obviously if you dont listen to reggae or dancehall on regular basis your gonna think its shitty. but say it cause its just not your cup of tea not because you dont normally listen to it. your just being ignorant. Love Cocorosie and Kevin Little #JamaicanPridr
:) play nice, kids. Everyone has different tastes. I like both songs and I think it was a compliment of sorts that hey remade it. :) Cocorosie isn't for everyone...but they are talented. And hipster? Dude, WAY harsh.
I've listened to many live versions of this, sometimes she says "Pour toutes les reines massacrées en Jamaïque.." For all the queens massacred in Jamaica. One show in particular Bianca begins by saying "In Jamaica they killed their queens, oh it's a sad, SAD story.."
@milleannipassisunt I hope its not too late but the french part is c'est pour toute les reines massacres de jamaque which means for the murdered queens in jamacia
Did they cover this song from kevin little "turn me on" song?? the lyrics are exactly the same...Or I wonder if this guy made a cover of this song...which one is the original??
@milleannipassisunt - it is in French if that hhelps you? My French is pretty rusty so I'm not sure exactly what she says...I alomst thing she's saying 'c'est pour tu, la reine' which means it's for you, queen'...which sounds weird, but then, they are pretty weird, aren't they?!
@shanel1975 i know that's the random part like who would imagine them doing a cover of this song of all things and they always have mustaches and stuff

Good videoooooos! I've fallen in love with cocorosie once again. *-*
Holy shit. Cocorosie covering Kevin Little. My life has just been made. How.. does the world know about Kevin Little? Woah.
i love the original and this so much *_*
You do a wicked job on these video's Shanel1975!
Does anyone else think that the melancholy tone of this song is supposed to emphasize the sadness of the patriarchal lyrics?

Hannah Eastman lmao
Hannah Eastman top kek
I... I don't see what is funny...
Cocorosie wouldnt normally support a song with such an obvious entitled/non-consensual attitude.
great video, thanks so much, also I appreciated the other one (summer breeze).
Es casi tan hipnotizante como escuchar a Portishead.
Just a dude from 'Merica passing through. But I got my 4X4 truck stuck in this brilliance and done threw my gun rack away in honor of Bianca's.
obviously if you dont listen to reggae or dancehall on regular basis your gonna think its shitty. but say it cause its just not your cup of tea not because you dont normally listen to it. your just being ignorant. Love Cocorosie and Kevin Little #JamaicanPridr
