“I Put a Spell on You”, She & Him on Conan, 12/9/2010 I love this interpretation of this classic song.  The arrangement is raw, visceral, even uncomfortable at times, and casts the song as a last desperate plea to a lost love.  Zooey exudes a newfound confidence in her voice, she’s really grown as a singer since that first album.
