I guess you've figured it out by now, I love the word-play in lyrics to the extent that every fourth blog post is about songs with awesome lyrics. This post will be no exception, so take cover.
A friend turned me on to an Israeli singer named Asaf Avidan, who in Israel has become very popular but also a little controversial for his decision to sing in English. He sounds almost exactly like Janis Joplin (or at least is doing a VERY good impression of her, maybe with a little Jack White thrown in there for good measure). I was actually a little surprised to learn he was male after listening to him. However his voice is still very unique compared to Joplin's. I won't leave you all hanging though, plus I'm a little tired so here is a little Asaf Avidan and the Mojos.
