"When I had the idea to do an album of Tom Waits songs, before I had even met Dave [Sitek], someone suggested I sing 'Falling Down,'" Johansson tells Spinner. "But I decided it was too corny for me to do just because it has the lyric about 'Scarlett and me.' But Dave hadn't even noticed it. When I mentioned it, he thought the synchronicity was crazy and I never even thought twice about it after that. I was like, 'Yeah, let's do it.'"

"With 'Falling Down,' our pursuit of making one song with both Kermit the Frog and David Bowie on it became a success," Sitek adds.

I *adore* Scarlett J.

I was so embarrassed by this, though. It is terrible!! Oh, I hope the rest of the album is better!

Love her. Heard her sing beautifully before. This, however, is a disappointment.

it would be a good song if she kept the words and losted everything else. the lyrics are great; although, it may be hard to concentrate on them.
