1952 Vincent Black Lightning by The Drunken Swimmers

[STANGGAPPA]

Don't worry boys, this shit is awesome!

[WeezerFan666]

What the hell is everyone going on about? This is a really good version - not a smidgeon on the original but when you're covering one of the best songs ever written what are you gonna do?

As it is this is probably my favourite cover of this; different enough from the original to actually be interesting, and it works well with the country-tinge you gave it here.

[Savage6K]

Solid work, gents.

[1234savage]

man, this is really bad. get a real singer and you might be alright. unbelievably bad.

[Chupacabrayo]

is this supposed to be funny? what's the matter with the vocalist? is he trying to emulate a particular sound, or is he really just that bad?

[hollowpoint45acp]

Now i know what the taliban was warning us about. I'd rather have acid in my ear than listen to this crap.

[geezerbutler69]

This is truly awful. Its nice that you employ a special needs singer and all, but man, this shouldn't even be on the web--its really that bad.

I do congratulate you on being able to drug all the sound guys so they can keep a straight face through this farce.

[gaijin312]

Hey thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. Which Thompson song should we cover next? We may just do an all Thompson cover album, but with a ska backing band. I think you'll really dig it.

[geezerbutler69]

i saw a kid on a bike get hit by a car once. as he was lying in the street yelling in pain, he didn't sound as bad as this singer.

I didn't have a camera to film it, but it would have satisfied your invitation to the other posters to do a better job.

[gaijin312]

I know life is confusing right now and your body is going through a lot of changes, but once your mom takes you to the gynecologist and they explain what's happening, you'll feel better and won't be so angry all the time. Grrr. Being a teenager sure is tough!

[geezerbutler69]

the only thing that's confusing is your belief that you have talent.

[0988isolator]

this is an insult to Richard Thompson. Die in a fire, pricks.

[gaijin312]

Richard Thompson loved it so much he came over and jerked us all off.

So let's see you do better you no-talent cum dumpster.

[0988isolator]

see, that's where your argument fails, moron--it is not necessary to do "better" to comment--all that is necessary to comment is an ear that works. Mine works fine, and can easily recognize how devoid of talent you are, especially the caterwauling vocalist. if that's you, i really feel sorry for you thinking you have an ounce of talent.

As for the jerking off--i doubt Thompson could get into the regular circle jerk you fucks regularly have. Yet another insult to the master--by a pissant.

[gaijin312]

Thank you! All of your comments were very constructive and we'll try to work them into the next set of Thompson songs we cover & post on YouTube. We'll make sure to credit you. Thanks again! Have a wonderful day.

[0988isolator]

Die in a fire.

[joetech69]

Very nice cover of this tune. Fine job fellas. Even though I prefer the faster more bluegrass version, I really enjoyed this one.

Thanks.

[gaijin312]

Thanks for the kind comments. We have a much more version if you're interested.

[hexicola]

this is very poor. i couldnt watch it all the way thru, it annoyed me that much.

[gaijin312]

You have no taste, and will die missing everything that is cool and interesting in life.

[gaspode18]

@hexicola Seconded. It might have helped if they had actually been playing the tune of '1952 Vincent Black Lightning'.

Knowing the words is NOT enough!

[mickenoss]

Shite.

[gaijin312]

If it's such "shite", let's see you do a better version then.

[gyrader]

more importantly, why is it "shite"?

[songster22046]

"Shite" is Irish for "shit". I like the Irish, they gave us Jameson's, Declan McManus and U2, and a great way to curse. Mick's taste is all in his mouth, though...

[burnout399]

That is really well done cover

[VincentLightningMC]

What the hell is this? Fookin Kariokie? My God.. This guy should have a Tonsillectomy!.. Please if you are going to cover The King's 52VBL try listening to it once to get the cadence and the soul of it.. if I were in the audience I would be throwin a beer bottle by now...

[Savage6K]

It's called a cover, douche-fag. As such, they were free to take liberties with it, which in this case meant making it totally fuckin' sweet. Besides, your mom always requests this song when she comes over.

P.S. Learn to spell.

[VincentLightningMC]

Sorry Savage.. I didn't relize the vocalist was your lover..By the way tell your mom to shave her back before she hits the pub again some of the fellas have complained..

[conksu]

Only to hide the giant erection he'd have after hearing this song....

[nudunbduvys]

just aswell RT int deed, otherwise he'd be turning in his grave

[Savage6K]

I agree with the off-screen voice; this IS great.
