"Wake Up Little Susie" is our creepy cover of the song made famous in 1957 by the Everly Brothers. We cut our odd arrangement of that upbeat original to be included in a horror film soundtrack. The premise of the movie ... a young woman who wakes from a dream to realize her worst nightmare has come true. This is something sinister in time for Halloween ... a slow burn of suspense, equal parts beauty and menace, balanced precariously between waking and dreaming.
lyrics
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
What are we gonna tell your Mama
What are we gonna tell your Pa
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la!"
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Well, what are we gonna tell your Mama
What are we gonna tell your Pa
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la!"
Wake up, little Susie
We gotta go home
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up
