Well Maybe Just A Half Drink More

George McCrea “I Get Lifted” – Oooh! Does anyone out there know if this song has been sampled? That opening groove is just begging to be looped and made into a hip hop song. This song has been sampled many times over. Top notch stuff. This is taken from Souljazz’s Miami Sound – Rare Funk and Soul from Miami 67-74 compilation.

Zooey Deschanel & Leon Redbone “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” – This comes to you via our friends at Antipopper, who have been posting some very interesting mp3s lately. This new version of the Christmas party classic was recently recorded for the soundtrack of Elf, and it’s just endlessly charming. Zooey Deschanel‘s singing voice is a revelation – this woman is quite simply living in the wrong era. Surely there must be a good old musical that can be remade for her to star in, right?
