Nellie McKay "David" live in Detroit

[jakiner]

maybe it's about david & goliath?

[Drworm89]

@jakiner I've read that it's about her professor from college.

[jakiner]

@Drworm89 I'll pour her a drink

[usmc1088]

@Drworm89 Professor David Eisenbach. At the beginning of the recording, she says the word "hcabnesie" (eisenbach, spelled backwards) several times.

[SensationallyRad]

@usmc1088 Thank you for clearing those first lyrics up!

[Alphabex8]

is this song about David Attenborough?

[shigalbigal]

Weeds :)

[OxnardGamer]

@shigalbigal YEA!

[sabadabodueira]

i agree jason's song is similar....but both songs are great, so i don't give a shit =)

[jasonchiu0803]

Really? The songs really don't sound like each other at all, not even close really. listen to it carefully.

[JoshSitar]

Holy shit. I just checked out that Jason Mraz song because of these comments and it's quite clear he nicked the whole thing!

[crispers45]

I don't think this sounds like Jason Mraz's lucky at all :|

I see the connection, but they are two clearly different songs with two very different backgrounds, lyrically and composition wise

[Jazzygirl864]

woah doesn't Jason Mraz have a song like this? O.O

[HAIRRox]

fuck jason mraz, your listening to nellie mckay!! and he is so queer(and not queer in the cool gay way, but queer in the unoriginal way.)

[exaviervega]

haha, should go in a book of quotes, "he is so queer(and not queer in the cool gay way, but queer in the unoriginal way).

[Beast52864]

since when is being homo cool lol?

[granyoga]

I love this song

[9707XN]

The chorus sounds very much like the jason mraz song, Lucky.

[shutupnlistentome]

I know right :P

That's a drag :pp

[djinni11]

ya theres actually questioning whether or not jason mraz "borrowed" the song structure cause nellie released this first

[fitzmacdeoson]

Nellie, you make the heart sing with you

[KnutFreakKid]

i don't usually like songs when they're live, but not only do i like this one, i like it better than the original!

[gumpgarbonzo]

I was at this show. What a great evening of music.
