Nature Boy (Eden Ahbez Cover) [as featured in the Smallville season 10 trailer]
Kerli posted a link on her Facebook and Twitter today stating that, "The brand new promo for Smallville's final season is EPIC and exclusively at E! Online featuring Kerli's amazing take on the classic 'Nature Boy'!!!" The song was originally performed by Eden Ahbez in 1947 and has been covered by many dozens of artists, including Nat King Cole, becoming both a pop and jazz standard over time. The song was also featured in the 2001 movie "Moulin Rouge". Check out the sample of Kerli's rendition below!
Lyrics:
There was a boy/ A very strange, enchanted boy/ They say he wandered very far, very far/ Over land and sea/ A little shy and sad of eye/ But very wise was he
And then one day/ A magic day he passed my way/ And while we spoke of many things/ Fools and kings/ This he said to me/ The greatest thing you'll ever learn/ Is just to love and be loved in return
The video:
And, the article:

I love it. Her voice really reminds me of Björk in it. I know they get compared a lot as is, but this song especially sounds like her.

I thought so, too! Very peaceful, but yet edgy

Actually, there was a rumor going around that this song will be on her new album. No credible resources have confirmed it though.

Actually, according to a source at Island/DefJam records, whom I contacted today, this track is going to be on the new album. That's about as official a source as it gets. I run The Definitive Smallville Soundtrack, hence my calling the label.

So if it is going to be in the album (Somehow I don't feel like it is going to be) then we have a little idea of the theme for it.
Re: Nature Boy (Eden Ahbez Cover) [as featured in the Smallville season 10 trailer]
yeah, i know.
I love it, but it's not really KERLI, something feels a little off.
still, I can't get over how amazing this really is.

Kerli's Song "Nature Boy" on Smallville
Wow. Nature Boy in album.. this is awesomeHere is post from Kerli's blog on MySpace about it: Kerli's Song "Nature Boy" on SmallvilleTelevision spots for the CW's show Smallville, which premiers September 24th, features a new song creation from Kerli called "Nature Boy". Check out the spot here :
Re: Nature Boy (Eden Ahbez Cover) [as featured in the Smallville season 10 trailer]
If they are using the song for a TV show, wouldn't there be a copywrite issue on letting her use it for her album? I mean Smallville probably paid her to write the song and now owns the rights to use it, so she wouldn't be able to use it for herself if they did.

Re: Nature Boy (Eden Ahbez Cover) [as featured in the Smallville season 10 trailer]
Nature Boy isn't Kerli's song, why would it be on her album?
and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't tell us on Formspring that she's trying to make it a free download if she wasn't allowed to give it out.

SEE THE NEW SMALLVILLE TEN TRAILER WITH MUSIC BY KERLI!
Celebrate the final season of SMALLVILLE with a brand new trailer full of iconic clips from the show’s ten-year history. Featuring music from Kerli, the trailer is the best way to get ready for the season premiere of SMALLVILLE on Friday, Sept. 24. Kerli’s cover of the jazz standard “Nature Boy” sets the tone for the story of Clark Kent’s journey from a boy to the greatest hero the world has ever known.See the trailer now, and learn more about Kerli below. Become a fan of SMALLVILLE on Facebook, and become a fan of Kerli on Facebook.Born in Elva, Estonia, a tiny, then-Soviet occupied town of 5,000 people in the forest, Kerli grew up with a dream to escape from her surroundings.“I’m a passionate person,” declares the blonde-haired beauty, who once drew a picture in a diary when she was 13 that depicted her going to America. “Where I come from, it was a shame to show your emotions. You could never be too happy, because something bad might happen. I wanted to live every moment. I looked around me, and it was beautiful, but I wanted something more.”Ignoring material comforts and new clothes for lessons in singing, ballet, acting and classical piano, at fourteen Kerli entered and won Euroalaul, an annual televised competition to select a song to represent Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest. After the win, she decided to concentrate on singing.“I haven’t had a single dream that hasn’t come true,” says Kerli of her remarkable path, which led to her auditioning for Island Def Jam Chairman Antonio “L.A.” Reid who signed her on the spot.Her debut album “Love Is Dead” earned her a large worldwide fan base and led to major television appearances and radio presence both domestically and abroad.The success of this album culminated in her wining a 2010 EBBA (European Border Breaker Award) and sparked the interest of Alice in Wonderland director, Tim Burton.Burton later requested that Kerli work on the film by lending her vocals to the Almost Alice soundtrack in which she contributed two tracks “Tea Party” and “Strange”, a duet with Tokio Hotel.“The moment you really let go, that’s when something comes to you” says Kerli on her growing success and with her long awaited second album due this fall she is definitely ready to take it the next level, “The bigger the dream, the more time it takes to come true”.

I didn't think so, I don't see why Kerli would want a cover on her album.

Especially after all she's said about cowritten songs... I'd say expect it as a promo or a free download

I'm surprised their not gonna make it available on iTunes. I'm sure that's what Smallville's reps want but it doesn't matter to me as long as I get the full version soon.

I think a lot of companies and artists like to put songs on iTunes and others don't because they don't get paid how they want too. iTunes does things their own way, I remember Prince didn't like how iTunes won't pay in advance so he refused to put his CD on iTunes.

It costs a fee to put stuff up on iTunes? Wow, I wonder how much my friends paid to put their CDs up...

^^ Oh, I have no idea , lol. I'm just trying to figure out why more stuff isn't purchasable on iTunes and the only reason I can come up with is because they're afraid it would cost more to sell than it would make in sales.

Because they get leaked, maybe? I don't really know... But, I guess, people do like shiny things. In this case, the shiny thing is the collectible b-side... Oh, forget it

No, it's okay! I perfectly understood. The "huh!" was a curious "huh". I find it interesting
