Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings’ blistering rework of “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In”–the Kenny Rogers and the First Edition song that doubled as a dream-sequence soundtrack in The Big Lebowski–has been in our heads ever since last night, when we popped Lebowski into the DVD player for some potential Halloween-costume research. No disrespect meant to Rogers’ performance, which we have much fondness for, but Jones completely owns this song, and we’d love to see what sort of night visions this version would score.
