Bad Idea. Put a sock in it, Scarlett.

Great idea! It'll be the best thing since Lou Reed and Nico.

Johansen's gonna sing an album of Tom Waits covers. I think it's a good idea. You?
I'm too drunk to explain why I think so, but I'll stand by my opinion later, if need be.

I'm not sure.....
anything involving Scarlett Johansen is good idea. Anything involving Tom Waits is a good idea. Somehow, this could go terribly wrong. She must drink whiskey and chain smoke Lucky Strikes, then it will probably be OK.

Thirded. If she has the whiskey tenor singing voice I think she does and can pump out an Astrid Gilbertoesque croon - that might be okay.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm gonna have to check it out. It'll be worth having, though for some reason I gotta feeling it's gonna get filed next to my Bill Shatner albums - background music for rainy Sundays or whatever.

Wonderwoman(Linda Carter?)did a record with George Benson which wasn't so bad.Seeing her on TV battling the Nazis the other day reminded me of it.

Don't know if Scarlett Johannson can sing yet.Mostly I just stare at her serving wench figure.

Cheerful enough lass

Well, Brittany Murphy sang Paul Oakenfold's Faster Kill Pussycat and did a pretty good job.

Is it going to be early Tom Waits stuff or the 'found music' Tom waits? If she can sing, I could see her pulling off some of the Closing Time or Heart of Saturday Night Stuff. Somehow, though, I can't imagine her singing "Sixteen Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six" or "Filipino Box Spring Hog."

I saw her in Scoop and she was really boring.
I would rather buy an album of her co-star from Lost In Translation, Bill Murray singin Tom Waits songs.

I'd rather be fingerpainting with acidly toxic paint rather than hear her sing.

Completely overrated...........

She is smokin' hot. But Tom Waits? Why not Celine dion instead?
ps though... When you hear her interviewed, she DOES have a bit of rasp in her voice.

If Tom Waits thought of it, OR, condones it, well, I'll give her a chance at least.
