We hope your Hunger Games appetite hasn't been satisfied QUITE yet, as we have one more juicy morsel for your lips!! (well, ears).

The legendary Sting has taken it upon himself to take you on a haunting journey through the Deep In The Meadow lullaby, with additional lyrics and instrumentals that breathe a certain eeriness to the original short and sweet melody.

As avid fans, we KNOW you remember the tear-inducing lullaby Katniss sings to lull little Rue into her everlasting slumber - and now you can check out the FULL LENGTH version sung by Sting (above)!!

It's very pretty, but we're not sure we'd want either version sung to us before bedtime…lest we get nightmares!!

Thoughts??

We can't believe someone would do this to such a wholesome family!!

Teresa Hunt has been arrested and faces federal extortion charges after being caught in an FBI sting.

Teresa wants Discovery Communications to pay her $10,000 or cancel the Duggar show. In exchange, she would NOT release "shocking" photos of Amy Duggar — a first cousin of the family.

Discovery contacted the FBI who sent an agent to act as a Discovery rep. When he phoned Teresa, she apparently said she already had offers of $3,000 for the pics. She emailed them over and demanded $10,000 to shut her up.

Well… needless to say, they got her!

"People are going to stop buying CDs. People are going to stop selling and making them, so I am looking for different ways to get music to people, and the [app] at the moment seems to be the favorite. The app is the new model. It's very full and can also be constantly updated, so it's not a static thing. It's organic."
