That was awsome man. One of my favourite songs of all time. Such a good message. "I don't mind spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees" Thanks for the great post, you killed it. I will never get over the negativity some people bring to these message boards.
Screw does guys who are obviously jealous at the performance you set down. I think you have a great voice nicely done dude keep on the good work.... i'm dutch so forgive my english!
Hey mate, Just want to say thanks for the awesome cover, I played your version in a music test i had and got 20/20! Woot! You're a great singer too! So don't listen to all the bastards who say you're bad or that long hair sucks, cause I've got long hair too! Rock on!
@thiswintertime You're right, it's a Joni Mitchell song. However, Counting Crows did their own version of it, and that's the version that he based the arrangement off of.
Dude, It's a joni mitchell song, not from the counting crows, they just covered it. Your version doesn't sound like any of them if you ask me. But you still do a great performance! Great! Besides that there's nothing wrong with? your hair, do nothing with it.
yo.... vocals are great bud but i would look up a tab or somethin cause the guitar is a lil wrong .... great first impression... and no offense but ya gotta do somethin about the hair its kinda creepy ... post some more i would like to see some more keep it up
First impressions were bad, but mate... Its quality. Looking through quite a few of these acoustic versions of this song, and i have to say yours was the best i came across. Nice work.
I really liked this. The beginning might not be perfect, but by the second verse you sound great - and more importantly, you do it with feeling. Nice job!:)
I didn't really think about it, I just put it. However, now that I have had time to think about it, I suppose there is a good reason for it. I cannot assume that everyone in the world has heard this song, and I certainly don't want anyone mistakenly thinking that I wrote it.
Clearly it is unnecessary to a person of your fine taste in music, but I'd rather be too clear about it being a cover than not clear enough.
@theorioleguy Because he's honest. A lot of YouTube people try to get people to see their video by misleading people to think it's the original artist.
@theorioleguy Man, +$x##%?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Youtube you´ll get smacked for whatever reason. Thanks for entiteling this as a cover, TheClev. You know why? Because it´s annoying to have to go through several bedroom webcam covers before finding the original, when this is what you´re looking for. Thousands of videos does just that, by being entitled as the original recording.
Thanks! I think a lot of people like to drone in piano or falsetto or both because they think it's a sad song. Really, it's more of a social commentary with comical sarcastic lyrics. Therefore, I tried to sound light-hearted.
fav'd because I'm trying to figure out the arrangement you use (I especially like the transfer between G and C9...slick shit).
If you could throw a quick .crd up somewhere, I'd appreciate it. I'd love to be able to do this at gigs without having to take a break to retune (then another break to retune afterward).
You missed a few chords buddy haha, but that's ok. This tune is usually played in open tuning, I can't recall which one at the moment, open G I think. Good job on the vocals anyways.
To be honest, I never really learned the song. I was just goofing around one day and thought "Hey, this sounds like Big Yellow Taxi." Hence, this shoddy, frequently incorrect version of a good song was born. Normally I would welcome criticism, but on this particular song I expect it.

great dude..but check out some videos that show you the open d tuning that is the correct way to play this..it will make your version even better
