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

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. |
