If leading an imaginary band of skeletons playing jazz with a skull topped baton is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

I wonder if why she was walking around with the skull on a stick. The police probably took it from her.
I guess you could say she
Lost her head.

It was part of the swing revival in the 90s. It is less electro swing and more like modernized jazzy swing. The female singer sounds a lot like Billie Holiday.
This is the song that actually got air play - back when radio actually played stuff that didn’t fit pop norm.
My personal favorite song.
And my favorite ballad of theirs, featuring Katharine Whalen (who, like I said, sounds amazing.)
And one more - because I realized I the first two song don’t feature her voice.
