God Help The Girl is a project put together by Stuart Murdoch from Scottish band 'Belle & Sebastian'. At this stage, they have released a few singles, an EP and an album. The album is basically the soundtrack to a movie that hasn't been made yet. Stuart Murdoch has written the story and the filming begins next year. God Help The Girl features three female singers and a few guest singers and players... along with Stuart himself. Although, he does take a back seat and the girls take care of most of the singing. "Funny Little Frog" is actually a Belle & Sebastian song from 'The Life Pursuit' album. The 'God Help The Girl' version isn't too far from the original orchestrally but the singer this time around gives it more of a 'Dusty in Memphis' sound. It is beautifully sung by Brittany Stallings who won the part from an online competition where people could add their vocals to a demo. Don't get the wrong idea though, this was no Britain's Got Talent. She was picked from 400 entries and going by this song, I hope we hear more from her in the future.
