Anybody have a link to a non-autotuned version? This is terrific - but the autotuning is very obvious, and I've heard Hugh's voice before - which I can guarantee was not out of tune.
@CatsLairArchives: Yeah, it's a novelty band but give them a break--they do gigs for charity. I will admit that I could have done without the AutoTune on this one, though. It's classic blues--you don't really need to carry that much of a tune. You have to feeeeeeel the music. And dammit, if you can't scat, you shouldn't be doing a Cab Calloway song!
hugh a man of immense talent. quintissentially english and represents everything that is great about the dying breed " the english gent". not to mention his old mucker stephen fry a man from the same mould. love em both.
Hmm... So I like the jazz version of this by The Big bad Voodoo Daddies. The music isn't what I imagined with this song, but Hugh's smooth voice still makes the music work amazingly. =)
I like or should i say love Hugh. I do not want to be one of those crazy fans or someone who says that they cant live without them. Hes probably already tired and stressed alot,and cant go to the sleep. NOONE can take away Hugh's mucical talent,good looks,and amazing acting skills.
interesting take man i really like the keys on the track but what happened to the classic creeping horn line dude, i mean that trumpet player with cab slays me every time...

This isn't easy for me, as I am a huge fan of Hugh Laurie, but this version is pretty terrible. I think the version he played on Wooster and Jeeves was much better, but then again, I'm not really a fan of Band from TV.
I know! musician (plays piano, guitar, sax, harmonica and drums as well as sings), comedian, actor, authur, biker, rower (before footlights) and don't forget a Third-Class Honours degree in archaeology and anthropology from Cambridge! he is truly a national treasure
God damn Hugh Laurie. The man can sing, act, write music, play any instrument he sets his hands on, and... What's that? He wrote a bestselling novel called The Gun Seller? Is there anything he CAN'T do?
Just To Let You Know Hugh Laurie Sings The Main Vocals In This Song! :) I Love Him! His Music, Acting, Everything Especially House, Band From Tv And Not Forgetting A Bit Of Fry And Laurie
Yes. Hugh Laurie's been singing for a long time. Check out his videos here from the Fry & Laurie show from the BBC(Great Britain). They're hilarious too :-)
I do believe, most of this song is indeed sung by Hugh Laurie - therefore you should list him as with the vocals, too. And whatever piece you take form Band from TV, you need to list him under "additional vocals" at the very least. ;)
Wow, it's so different to the Jeeves and Woorseter version. I was looking forward to the 'tee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee, ra-di-ra-di-ra-di-ra', though lol!
Wow, if that is Hugh thru the whole thing, he is fantastic! I love his voice quality. Also the female voice is great. Tight band. I love it. Just saw them on a Late Show. Forget which one. I LOVE the way he drops his voice at 2:12. Check it out. Nice. 2:33 also cool. Thanks for posting.
Does Hugh Laurie sound American all the time now? I was watching some House bloopers and even when he wasn't speaking script he still sounded American.
He has a strict rule for himself to always stay in character on set. Even when the camera's not rolling. Outside of the House set though he has an English accent.
Yeah I realised when I was youtube linking to everything Hugh Laurie related and Stephen Fry was talking about how Hugh is totally American on set at all times. Thanks though :)
Eh, I don't think that they sang right. It just sucked ALOT!! THIS ISN'T THEY WAY CAB CALLOWAY SANG IT AND I JUST didn't like the way they KILLED THE SONG!
Does anyone know where I can download this song? Do NOT tell me iTunes or LimeWire pls, b/c I have neither. I hate iPods and LimeWire gave my last compy a virus and it died. Dx Thanks! 8)
thanks I'm doing that now, I love this song so much,and this Band. Its such a great idea, play gigs and donate to charity. And who doesn't love Hugh Laurie jamming on his keyboards? Uh, love that man!
that song really speaks to me jeeves
