(Almost)  Correct  Version  Theme  from  Shaft  Penn  Jillette  Michael  Goudeau  Isaac  Hayes  

Description:

I was listening to an old podcast from the Penn Jillete Show, and he was airing his grievances with "Theme from Shaft." Since he's my hero and because now I can't hear the song without thinking about the problems, I fixed it. It's now "He's a complicated man; no one understands him but his woman." It used to be "He's a complicated man, but no one understands him but his woman. (John Shaft)" That is redundant and implies that Shaft's lady friend might be named "John Shaft." I left in the first occurence (by accident), but I think that just magnifies the point. This is for you, Penn. Enjoy!

It was Isaac Hayes. If Sammy Davis Jr. had performed this song, you would have laughed your ass off. YES! See "Shaft." I picked up the DVD the other night for about $6. You could always rent or Netflix. But you have to see it. It's one of the greatest movies ever.

The song by itself is good, but nothing compares to it in the movie "Shaft." Just hearing it and seeing Richard Roundtree walking in New York... I got a tingle down my spine. It was great.
