Also, Hank Williams' Thighbones Were Exhumed
And Presented to the Drummer

I know I'm usually about the books, but the cannibalization of Conway Twitty's voice for Anita Cochran's ""(I Wanna Hear) A Cheatin' Song" is just too ghoulishly bizarre to let it pass without comment.

Cochran assembled the five-line vocal track from samples of 1980s Twitty records. None was longer than three words; some were shorter than one. "He sang the word 'song' a bunch of times, but we couldn't find it in the right pitch," Cochran says. "So we took the word 'wrong,' took the 'wr' off it and put on 's' to build the word 'song.'"

"Wrong" strikes me as an entirely appropriate word, under the circumstances.
