OK, You Need to See Jamie Campbell Bower Sing Lizzo’s About Damn Time in His Stranger Thing Vecna Voice – Seventeen

A Stranger Things x Lizzo crossover is not something we had on our 2022 bingo cards, but now that its happened, we couldnt be more grateful.

On August 3, Jamie Campbell Bower the actor behind Stranger Things season 4s sinister villain, Vecna made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During the interview, host Jimmy Fallon asked Jamie to recite several iconic phrases from pop culture in Vecnas menacing voice.

For you, Jimmy, anything, Jamie said, before repeating Julia Robertss famous Im just a girl line from Notting Hill, the Cocoa Puffs slogan, and Roses passionate declaration to Jack in Titanic, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls.

Then, to our absolute delight, Jamie delivered a spine-chilling rendition of Lizzos summertime bop, About Damn Time.

In a minute I'm a need a sentimental man or woman to pump me up. Feeling fussy, walkin' in my Balenci-ussy's, tryna bring out the fabulous, he sang in his demonic tenor. Yes, weve watched it a dozen times over. Yes, we need him to recite the whole song. And yes, we cannot believe how seamlessly he drops his voice to the unhuman level of Vecnas.

Earlier in the interview, Jamie detailed the process of creating the monsters unforgettable roar.

It took a few months to get right, he shared. We did the read-through, and I was there kind of at the table reading with everyone. I sat behind Millie [Bobby Brown] and I was doing the voice, and it started in this like very kind of like nasally kind of area, kind of more like Freddie Kreuger and it just wasnt landing.

He went on to explain that he researched past horror villains such as Hellraiser and the actor behind Pinhead, Doug Bradley. From there, he landed on the deep, booming voice that seems to come out of the darkness.

I loved it, it was amazing, Jamie added. So I just kind of worked on that, and Im a singer so I kind of just relaxed myself, relaxed my larynx.

In any case, About Damn Time is most definitely a song that could snap us out of Vecnas trance just as long as hes not the one singing it.
