Emilie Autumn

I was looking for a song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  Its not the first time I've looked for this song.  Its by the Dream Academy called "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want."  Its from the scene where they're in the art gallery.  Bad ass song!

I started a little research, thinking that I'd find somewhere to find it.  I mean, come on, you mean to tell me its impossible to get the tune just because there's no soundtrack for the movie?

So I started digging.  Wikipedia listed a bunch of groups that have covered the song.  And I came across Emilie Autumn, for she covered said tune.  I typed her name into iTunes, where I am able to point and click anything I want...

Well, surprise, surprise... I really like this girl.  How fucking strange is that?  I listen to classical in my car and jazz in my apartment.  I not really into goth chicks.  But I gotta say, she's pretty damn good.  I'm listening to her as I type right now.  And it may be that I'm digging on someone who is a little to trendy.  High schoolers gasp when they hear the name.  Or maybe I've tapped into some hip sound.  Who knows?  Who gives a shit?  

And the funny thing is that my little girl cat seems to like her.  Maybe my little Moon cat is a goth chick cat.  My boy cat seems very unimpressed.  He enjoys the classics.  I see him digging on some old Brubeck.  And he loves him some Miles and Coltrane.  Think he digs most on my old jazz.  And I've seen a sly cat grin when I dust off some Dead bootlegs.  But maybe I discovered that I've got a goth cat in the house too.  Bless their little hearts...............
