He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)

A week ago, Grizzly Bear played live on Seattle's KEXP. They played a cover that they've been working on during their first headlining tour: "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)" by The Crystals, one of the top Motown girl groups of the 1960's. The lyrics are a little disturbing, but Grizzly Bear turns it into a song they could have written.
