  • that song really speaks to me jeeves

    sorry to hear that sir

  • i like the blues brothers version better

  • I miss Cab Calloway... Good try tho

  • Thumbs Up If You Are Whatching This In 2011! :)

  • omg im in love with his voice :o i definitely can imagine house singin this while operating on the brain

  • The autotune is a deliberate construct like Cher's Believe, although somewhat more fine.

  • very bad version.

  • 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.

  • Finally a truly modern musical version

  • laurie's voice is a bit autotuned but it doen't matter though :S

  • The first minute of the song is giving me an eargasm!

  • I love this Song!!!

    I love Hugh Laurie!!!

  • love it!!!!!

  • Hugh Laurie is amazing. <3

  • @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.

  • All they need is stephen fry and a one line of "ho die ho die ho sir?" and the songs set! Great auld remix!

  • I wonder how it feels to be in jo green's place...

  • 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...

  • his voice soothes my heart!!

  • I love Hugh Laurie ;D

  • hugh laurie is simply amazing. <3

  • this song is amazing on jeeves and wooster! steven fry and hugh laurie. <3 !!!

  • Hmm, who does that sexy voice belong to? =PP

  • hehehe Lester Holt! That's so awesome!

  • Hugh does Minnie in on of the Jeeves and

    Wooster episodes ....

  • RIP Cab Calloway. He would have loved this. See Blues Brothers 2.

  • They have performed it like the original, but I've yet to find it here on YouTube.

  • Hugh's voice is awesome! It's a great cover.

    I LOVE HUGH LAURIE!

  • I love these guys! Hugh is amazing :) <3

  • This is just awesome. Can't get enough... never heard the original until after i watched this.

  • Wow.....I was expecting the old version.

    Really nice twist to the song.

    Hugh Laurie can sing pretty well too =)

  • fantastic song

  • niall

  • Why are people giving me thumbs down, am I not allowed to have an opinion? I simply prefere this version.

  • personalmente creo que han DESTROZADO la cancion plenamente. la original los deja por el suelo, ..

  • i love this song! i'm very angry that itunes makes you buy the whole album to get this song though..... :(

    p.s. hugh laurie is amazing at everything he does

  • This brings back such memories from the first Jeeves and Wooster show.

    "tee dee hee dee hee dee hee...sir?"

  • @sgtpepperislonely hugh is cab calloways messenger!

  • I want hugh laurie!! he is perfect!!

  • Hugh Laurie is just too good for this world... but I'm glad he's in it! I love everything he's done.

  • i prefer the classic but this i nice too

  • i love Hugh he singing so great...

  • God why does Hugh Laurie have to be so amazing at EVERYTHING?? XDDDD

  • maybe because he´s Hugh laurie

  • 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

  • golden.

  • This is such an awesome cover.

    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?

  • I yotally agree with you!

    He's amazing!!!! <3

  • I love Hugh Laurie! He is amazing and I love his band. How many songs do they have? I only found two and none were original.

  • Don't quote me on this but I think they only do covers

  • I love this song now, I love Hugh Laurie's jazzy/blues voice... and the other musicians are brill too ^^

  • laurie is singin, huh ?

  • he sounds sooooo good in this song!

  • Where can I download this song?

  • I just keep finding things to LOVE about Hugh!! Thanks!

  • If they played this on the radio I'd turn it up. Cab Calloway must be spinnin' in his grave - to the rhythm!

  • Hugh Laurie <333

    & James Denton

    This. is. awsome. ^__^

  • Hugh Laurie's voice sounds really nice in this song. =]

  • laurie freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hugh :)

    <3

  • Grunberg got Laurie in the band when he was a guest at House. That's how it got started.

  • Loveeeee it!!

    Dammit, iTunes! Why'd you have to make it 'Album Only'?! Dx

  • Hugh Laurie is genius. (Y)

  • 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

  • @measures06

    Don't forget Jeeves and Wooster! :) S2

  • love it xD

  • Mortel ! Genial ! Super chanson merci à Band from tv et surtout Hugh Laurie !

  • hugh laurie es el mejor

    ojala hagais un concierto en ESPAÑA

  • EEEEEEEE XD XD XD

  • best band ever

  • anybody know where I can download this song?

  • Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but NBC newsman Lester Holt plays bass and sings/narrates. He deserves credit.

  • Okay. House and Matt Parkman IN THE SAME BAND? YES.

  • yep...Greg Grunberg(Matt Parkman) is the one who started the band :-)

  • Okay, this is just cool. :)

  • Oooh, oooh, oooh, his voice is so sexy <3 I love Hugh Laurie!!

  • Who sings it? Hugh??

    Oh my Gosh. I love him a thousand times more! He's awesome!!!

    xoxo

  • 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 love this song!

  • 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. ;)

  • man is there anything that Hugh Laurie cant do?

  • OMG!!!

    this song is absolutly great

    I have no words for this

  • Love this!!

    I love Hugh as an actor, as a personality and his voice... OMG! This man has everything!

    The band rocks!!!!

  • There is Jesse Spencer in the band

  • FUCK YEA HUGH LAURIE IS THE SHIT

  • Hugh as a voice as incredible as those blue eyes!!

  • I never knew Hugh had such a good voice!

  • is it Hugh singing all over the song?

  • 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!

  • Especially with the 'sir' on the end :)

  • This is one Good Band, and Hugh just amps it up a notch .. great piano/organ player....

  • This is FREAKING AWESOME.

  • Wow!

  • Hugh Laurie has a good voice...!

  • I will always love the original best, but this is an interesting cover. I love the band's sound. It's almost like a different song.

  • I saw Cab Calloway do this live in a dinner theater type setting. It was excellent.

  • i think its Hughs voice at the start!?

  • it was on Jay Leno.

  • 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.

  • is hugh that main vocals in this song?

  • This is so awesome! This is an amazing rendition. You go, Band From TV, especially Hugh Laurie.

    And that whole TV news reporter thing is awesome :P

  • I am just blown away by how good this is. Man. TV's got talent.

    Also, Hugh Laurie is officially my hero.

  • If Hugh made an album it will top charts haha

  • its not only hugh in the beggining its him the whole time through

  • nice. they definitely put a modern spin on this classic song

  • Hugh! <3 he's awesome!

  • is hugh singing in the 0:01??

    He´s very good at singing!! ;) NICE

  • Only for House Hugh speaks American

  • Hugh sings to isn't?

    Hugh is a sexsymbol;)♥

  • That was BAAAAAD ASSSSSS

  • he sounds gr8!

  • 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 :)

  • Hugh sings good :D

  • I Love When Hugh Laurie Sings This On Jeeves & Wooster :)

  • YES!!!!

    "hid-y, ho sir"

  • Huudy hi! huudy ho!!

  • love the song..and hugh

  • Just two words : HUGH LAURIE!!!

  • i love Hugh's voice

  • hugh is the best!

  • i agree!

  • i loooooooooooooooooove hugh!!!

  • house it the man

  • They just put their own spin on the song to it make their own. If everybody sang the song the same there would be no reason to play the song.

  • love the song

  • OMG.... This is soooo great song! Hugh have such a beautiful voice. God I LOVE HIIIIIIIIIIMM!!!!!!! LoVeUsOmUcH, LOVE U LOVE U LOVE U!!!!

  • Adoreeeeeeeei!!

    Fine... Very Goooooooooood!!

  • he did sing it in jeeves & wooster i love this song

  • Lester Holt of NBC News plays bass on this song and that is him also doing some of the "rapping" or "news reporting" section of this song.

  • i think Laurie does the vocals at the beginning

  • he does it mostly all the way through

  • hugh you are so talented you can do almost everything I love u hugh

  • I love the lady in this. She says all the things we want to do to Hugh ;)

  • they shall come to germany .__.

  • dude hugh laurie can sing, i had no idea of this band till i came across it earlier there very good.

  • Its cool that they got Hugh Laurie in on this song; he actually sung it once on Jeeves and Wooster if i remember right

  • Yeah, he did sing it then! It was hilarious :D

  • He did indeed, but this version is much better i think :)

  • Marvellous, Does anyone know when the DVD is due out? It was discussed a long time ago. I wonder what is holding it up?

  • 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)

  • you can use one program, its called Free YouTube to Mp3 Convert , find it on google, you will have this song from youtube in mp3 version =)

  • 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!

  • This is a REAL band, They can sing, they have good songs, and they play the instruments very very good. they are just awesome! :D
