  • At least change it up a little! Sounds like karaoke

  • This is ok, but REM does a MUCH better job with this song!!

  • We set the Manchester Ship Canal on fire before it was cool.

  • Since I live on the Cuyahoga and saw REM perform at this at Public Hall in Cleveland when it first was released in the 80's, I give it my blessing. A fine rendition.

  • Wow - u guys are being too tough - I like it. Cool cover of a tune that would be pretty obscure to a non-REM fan. Bass line is fine by me, too. The only thing it lack is a little of the drive of the original, but this is in a radio station, not a recording studio.

  • REM wud b proud to hear this gud job guys

  • Incredibly good! I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if it wasn't for the accordion and different backing vocal.

  • Thumbs up if you know what the Cuyahoga is!!!

  • @ohiocanalgirl a river?

  • @ivorbigonee yes the Cuyahoga River in Ohio was on fire!

  • The bass line is spot on w/ the original. My only issue is that no R.E.M. is great w/out a Rickenbacker.

  • great great cover.

  • wrong wrong wrong

  • @bklyntigr Agreed. It isn't just the lack of a Ric tone in the mix. The bass is off. The drums don't sit well. Unsure exactly how to pinpoint it except for wrong. If they did their own rendition of Cuyahoga, with a slight twist, I wouldn't be so heavy handed at criticizing the cover.

  • @whoapower yes it is a slap in the face

  • Huge fan of both bands (then & now)-- Colin doesn't bring the vocal texture that Michael has, but omg I can actually hear the words!

  • He's no Michael stipe, but he does a decent job of singing a classic REM tune. How about trying "gardening at night"?

  • lmfao! as I soon as I heard this I wrote it down! thank you for the upload! :)

  • Brilliant.

  • That is stupidly incredible. This might be a better version of Cuyahoga than R.E.M.'s.

  • Amazing cover!! R.E.M. is tough to cover and they Nailed it!!!

  • ♫ Nice Cover ♪

  • @ClassicPitchoun Understatement, in my opinion.
