Yeah you know that song. The one from Ghostbusters II. BUT..have you heard it from the most Jackie Wilson-est singer since..well..Jackie Wilson?
No, no one has. We must hear the majesty and irrestitably dancy bass line of this song being played by the only band that could make it shine, My Morning Jacket.
To the band: one stipulation. Please refrain from playing this song while inside the Statue of Liberty after you've slathered pink ectoplasm all over the ole girl. It has very dramatic consequences.
So sign the petition by posting below. I am not ashamed to beg, cry and wimper until this cover becomes a reality.
Jackie Wilson performing Higher And Higher (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1odvp-_bhk#)
I'll sign. And Jim must wear the red satin jumpsuit and boots.
I'm on board with this. 100%.
I'm not fashionista but it seems like the red leather jumpsuit goes well with the white furry moon boots
Not fair I suggested this a long time ago and you all ignored me

:o :D ;D
To make up for slighting my ego, I request all of you check out this most totally awesome blog that everyone ignored in the Music Tab:

It's a nearly-daily rip of a motown/R&B/soul 45 from the early 60s thru mid 70s, with a slight blurb and download link to each song. If you like Jackie W, you need to check it out.

How could people NOT want MMJ to do this song?
They probably don't even know the name of it or who Jackie Wilson is and thats most of the problem. But they know the song if they hear it. I'd consider it a musical education from Professor Yim Yames
As long as they play it at the regular tempo and not super fast like this live cut
Signed.
I say yes. I also say they should play it at the Boca Raton show.
I bote they play it in Tulsa since I'll be traveling 11 hours each way to see them play with Delta Spirit.
Matt Vasquez can sing a verse too. Everybody wins!

Thank you for the suggestion! Such a bad-ass concept.
