There's a commercial that Cat Power did last year where she covered Lana Hall's "How Can I Tell You" ... that song haunts me, and it's not fair that she never recorded more than the 30-second bit. Lana Hall's version is okay, but very 60s. Cat Stevens recorded it also, but it really needed a woman's voice. Can we start a petition to get her to record the damn thing? It's so incredible. Sadly, I'm now going to post the You Tube video of the commercial so you can hear what I hear, and so I can hear it again ...

Oh, I love this song too. I looked for it, but never found it. For some reason I thought it might be Regina Spektor.
A lot of people think it's Regina Spektor, but it's not ... there's actually a huge debate around the internet about it but her own label and the "best ads of 2007" articles all credit Cat Powers/Chan Marshall (her birth name). There is evidently a second album of covers coming out this year and hopefully she'll record the whole thing for that.
