Cats in the cradle

[E442Comedy]

Great video, always loved that song, you done it justice, THUMBS UP :)

[Smackdaddy9]

A tech and not an artist.

[Wiselion1967]

Nice one



[ratchit316]

It is origonally Harry Chapin not Johnny Cash

[ViperRob42]

This guy kinda sounds a bit like Johhny Cash

[paulcliftonevans]

Good job!5****!

[psycowolf2]

really good just one thing man IN the moon?? and you freakos under a tribute is personal and if someone believes that is a song they have sung really well then its still a tribute

[5eNuph]

Your really close--nice style too

[WhitechapelLondon88]

You really sound like Johnny Cash, very good work!

Great voice.

[MRbballLover]

nice verson, but one thing. its a chapin song!!!

[watsol7]

Brother, this is an absolutely wonderful piece of work.

Ignore the fuckwits who are posting underneath me :-)

[Cheeta1020]

An excellent cover but UdReks does have a point, a tribute normally consists of a song the artist wrote themselves

[yomatostanyahso]

Dude it is just you and your guitar. What is not to like. I really like what I like. Your version is wonderful.  I feel you man, totally. 5*****.

[wondertape]

not a cash song it's a chapin's song it's even said on the history channel!!!!!

[UdReks]

I'm confused. This is a tribute to Johnny Cash, but a tribute of a song that Cash only covered?

It's confusing.

If you want to pay tribute to Cash, sing a song Cash wrote. If you want to pay a tribute to the song, well, then it's a tribute to Chapin.

The vast majority of music lovers think CHAPIN when they hear Cats in the Cradle.

[110565789]

you are not johnny cash but it is nice you have a nice voice thx

[nattyice11]

what the fuck

[strikecommando01]

who the hell are you .youre not johnny cash !!!!!

[Hauserdav]

Nice!

[ukranianboybartalbe]

very good. thanks!

[tophkr]

fuck yall jim croce did it first and best..

[Southernborn761]

yeah drop the f-bomb. your so stupid and it shows. the song was written by Harry Chapin & Sandy Chapin on the Warner/Chappel Music label....  Imagine that no lil kids cussin involved.

I dont think jim ever even record this song. yeah you just been skooled.. scooter no go outside and play with the lil kids as you cant hang with the grown folks

[Cheeta1020]

...I've seen people confuse the artist of this song a lot but i think this is the first time someone said Jim Croce, as much i love his music. Jim croce died in 1973. Harry chapin released this song in 1974. So in short...you are beyond what could be defined as an idiot.

[hallowiesindsie]

that was awesome . Any more vids?

[WindowShopper444]

Very good version!!

[meltogue]

Far cry from Johnny Cash.

You should see Harry Chapin Sing this song.!!!

[6oclockband]

even if you're not johnny cash, I have to say it's a great version of that song

[MAASproductions]

I gotta I like your version more than johnny cash's your voice is deeper and mellower

[SageIceDragonX]

I know whats bothering me about me..hes off tempo in his singing. It seems he is struggling between the slow pace of the original harry chapin version and the faster tempo of the johnny cash version. Its actually a bit annoying. Sorry. Good try though.

[NSBlue1]

awsome

[badmoonryzn]

This forum sure brings out a lot of morons. He is doing the Jonny Cash version you boobs, and he is doing it quite well considering he does not have a million dollar studio for recording his music. Lets see one of you naysayers perform something useful, and I dont mean picking your butt for goodies. It is so easy to spot inept turds that cannot do anything and show their jealousy by criticizing anyone who tries. I like you version! Keep up the good work!

[zoel86]

you are NOT Johnny Cash!

[hallowiesindsie]

Ill bet you can't do this song half as well, so shut the fuc* up.

[BalthasarVII]

don't call you Johnny Cash.

[lebitych]

please learn the proper words and do it again i like your singing but the words are wrong in places

[2ballmaster]

I almost mistook you for a broken record

[cddrummer96]

harry chapin sang the song, but good job

[M8cell]

great man, great.

[grover442]

You disgraced this song and Harry Chapin shame, Plus don't give up your daytime job! You sing poor!

[crazysonik]

dude that wasnt cool at all he isnt that bad for being some one who isnt a pro singer.... Give HIm a brake! i Bet you couldnt do any better!! so shut the hell up!!!!!

[boepointrX]

wirklich sehr gut gespielt, vorallem deine Stimmegeht wirklich die Richtung von Cash, fuckin awesome!

[pakijohn]

he's jst doin a tribute to Johnny Cash and the way he sings this song which is quite different to the original, dont think he's sayin Cash wrote it.Good version pal

[SleepyBoBos]

Awesome. Your voice is very Johnny Cash.

[crznskater]

dude listen im a musice prodser my number is 618-581-2010 i can get u a deal u r unbleaveable ui have a good voice call me and we wil get u famouse in no time

[brianm2k7]

LOL

[jesuslivesinmytoilet]

It's harry chapin, not cash. :/

[mess0693]

dont take this the wrong way or anything, but if you sing a song you should put who the song is originally sung by. Also by you putting it as a tribute to Johnny Cash is disrespectful to Harry Chapin who is the original singer. If you do a tribute, make sure you are doing a song originally sung by that person because it is disrespectful to the original singer because you are giving them credit for a song they didnt even write.

[denito79]

amasing voice but you rush little bit with lyrics

[kurtlanciano]

this song is hard to sing and play at the same time way 2 Go !

[dessbongo7]

Awesome Man, You Are Awesome.

[laxguitar50]

its good but your tone is a little wierd

[Fudzx]

Well, it's Harry Chapins song but Cash performing it alot better =)

[bfstalent]

YOU ARE RETARTED!!!! Cats in the Cradle is a Harry Chapin song!!!!

[2foxc]

you are not johnny cash or near as cool.

[AggroAaron]

Songs sounds great...but change the name...you are not Johnny so don't use this name!!!

[daydreambeliever121]

great cover you've got a good voice

[thedefendingchamp]

CHAPIN

[turnipgreen17]

why does this say Johnny Cash? Please change it...Its Harry Chapin. Sounds a little robotic, but not bad I guess.

[Hazzarddu]

Sounded a bit rushed.

But good.

[Luminathan]

It's a homage to Harry Chapin either.. ggod work anyway ;)

[XtremeBlu62]

you fucktard WTF why would you do this you are a bad person you asshat!

[bigkyle07]

[Sindoca]

by the way, nice cover

[Sindoca]

What hell, i tought it was Johnny Cash, but you're a unknow bald guy, get a life

[MissMandii10205]

We'll heres just another critique... I think you have an amazing voice you just apply it to the wrong kind of songs... Second Harry Chapin in the original writer and singer... Happy Singing!

[computerorcks]

1st off harry Chapin and Cat Steven are the same people just listen to the accent it is obvious then everybody has done a copy of this song it is a very popular song

[bcarter55]

Okay. Here's the deal.

You've offended a lot of viewers by not giving credit where credit is due. 1. Harry Chapin wrote and performed this song. 2. Cash is an amazing artist, but don't try to sing it as if it were Cash's song 3. Learn the words before recording. 4. You lack the passion that Chapin put into his "signature song". Don't take everyones criticism personally. You're trying to follow a musical icon. A dead one at that. No one will ever compare to Chapin.

[davyhboro]

why have you posted this????a)your guitar playin is shite at best.... b)jonny cash had fuck all to do with this track... c)youve just ruined an iconic tune all by yourself......just go back to ya day job....tosser

[06066305]

youtube has gone to shit... i cry...

[bizzarnavile]

WTF?

[IanRoantree]

I lol'd when i saw this title.

[paintballingguy]

Umm you don't know who wrote this song? Also you don't know the words..

[pinkfloydnumber1]

it's by harry chapin

[lukesprayisawesome]

i think its just his accent

[Hothrebel4]

its harry chapin not johnny cash smart one!!

[m4rk0exp91]

who the fuck is this?

[nandr33san]

who cares...its a great song, as long as it keep the same sound...

[zeek827]

planes to catch dude not plans

[hobie360]

hey mate good guitar playin and singing keep up the good work

[switchanja]

why call it johnny cash when it isnt him singing?????!!!

[Morokaibitar]

Sure its him singing... Not he who made it but he has done a cover to it.. Listen to him and you know why he call it JC idiot switchanja....

[lhoso]

I understood the lyrics to this song now. Its about a father whose son grew to be just like him. Like father like son.

[wwefanforever18]

this rocks! =D

[FBIGUY88]

Harry is better

[dexterbleeds]

ur an idiot.

[mahaka42]

Guys, just shut up and listen to the song. Just cause this version isn't as good, doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. (Personally, I like Harry's version best, though)

[goldsausage]

Awesome man.

[LoveVideoArt]

wtf....seriously. Not even close to what Harry Chapin, Johnny Cash, Guns and Roses, Ugly Kid Joe or anyone else did with this song. please delete this shit.

[goldsausage]

Guns And Roses didn't even sing the song at any point in their careers so it shows just how much you know ;)

[LoveVideoArt]

Your a retarded sausage lover. Guns and Roses are on youtube singing this song. And I know a shitload more about bands than you.

[goldsausage]

How do you know that you know more about bands than me? You don't know me. Anyway, I'm washing my hands of this now cos you've made it obvious that you're one of those pathetic people that resort to insults. Plus the creator of this video doesn't deserve to have any arguments in this comments column.

[LoveVideoArt]

I am a musician and listen to thousands upon thousands of bands on a regular basis. Plus you said Guns and Roses did not sing "Cats in the Cradle"...you are wrong. So that proves that I know more than you about that. I am not trying to argue..but you blurted out bullshit so I have to correct it.

[Irishboi4life]

That's absolutely not true. If you look on the youtube video that claims "Gunz N Roses" it says in the description that it was a mislabel and it's only there to get views. NOW WHO'S RETARDED.

Arrogant prick.

[Creach123]

dude you dont know shit guns and roses NEVER recorded this song EVER

listin to it by Ugly Kid Joe notice anything the same? you are an ignorant piece of shit go do your research if you want to actually claim things like knowin more then otheres when you dont

[smokeyoda]

I hate you

[viktor142000]

U SUCK MEN

[DuckyInThePond]

It's "planes" not "plans", just so you know.

[ramenlover]

johhny cash didnt write this song btw.

nice job.

[alphanomad117]

nice voice go to a studio and get this done it will be AMAZING

[MrsMatthewSanders]

OMG THT WAS RLY GOOD!!!!!! u went a little 2 fast on some of the words but it still sounded rlly good!. im looking 4 the bass tabs n i cant find the correct ones any were!!!!

[corkey444]

yah he could have slowed down a little bit but he has a great voice

[portistaylor]

he could have slowed way the hell down lol but yea pretty good voice.

[Creach123]

he does have a good vioce for johnny cash songs its very deep

[henryvermulst]

NICE VOICE!!

[Bluesflame92]

You`we got a really great voice!!!

[crustysockx]

not bad

[colemoe]

He messed up in Harrys the frist two couras its when you coming home dad not son but one hell of a good job

[Dnlc0]

nice job, i liked it :)

[ZombieEaterz]

Johnny Cash's actual version of this song is on my page, but you still did a good job man.

[trolller555]

your a fucking retard Harry Chapin was first and best to ever perform this song.

[Warners30]

Nobody else can sing this as good as Harry Chapin- kinda odd someone would make a tribute to someone with another guy's song.

[pseudohippie55]

idiot...johnny cash didnt make this song! it was written by Hary Chapin's wife and sung by Harry Chapin...get ur facts straight...it doesnt have Cash written anywhere over it...if the son died, then how can he "grow up just like" him???anser that moron

[hannahheroine17]

It's about his son, and he didn't make it for his wife, his wife wrote the song.  Talk about letting your husband know he's a bad father.

[Grungadin]

Actually, it was a poem written by his wife about her first husband, who was not Harry Chapin, and his father's awkward relationship. The song may be dedicated to Josh Chapin but the poem was about someone else, in no way related to Harry.

[pianoman543212345]

wow you sound just like Johnny Cash. Amazing!

[skiba79]

Great song...wank version. Why do a cover of a cover of a cover?

[ImEveryThingYourNot]

he wrote it for his son dumbass now wife!

[ToxicRainDrop]

original song was by harry chapin

[ToxicRainDrop]

forgot to mention good job

[jesustonight]

legend

better than any other bugger

[bwpdylan]

you sound pretty good make it a little slower

[pigsearanimations]

Bloody hell, everyone's so thick.

It's HARRY CHAPIN -CHAPIN!!!!!!!!!! NOT CHAPMAN!!!!!!!!!

And his death was the most awful waste.

This is a good recording, mate. However, as with most covers, not a touch on the original, But love it, I've played it quite a lot!

[LanceMetal]

dood i dunt give a crap wot these other doods say your awsome

[m3ndoan]

SO FUNNY...

[hotrod2314]

Cash may have recorded this but Chapman did a hella lot better n he wrote it for his wife. the song may be about his son but he made it for his wife

[pseudohippie55]

After verse 2, it should be "he walked away, but his smile never dimmed, it said: 'I'm gonna be like him, yeah, you know I'm gonna be like him'" It rhymes that way! OMG! lol...niice cover though 5/5!

[KermitLeFrog]

You like Hannes Wader, dont you? Your style of singing reminds me of him.

[hotrod2314]

hey bud this song is Harry Chapman. Second u don't sound like Johnny Cash

[dessbongo7]

Its Chapin, So Dont Start Hating Until You Get Your Facts Right. Johnny Cash Has Also Recorded This.

[tattypatty]

CHAPIN, dumbass....

[dessbongo7]

I Like This More Than The Real One :) 5/5

[decmetalhead]

your singing is slightly flat. Still great version but.

[detalsr8]

screwed up a lot of the words

[coolcoolman5533]

this is good but not as good as the real vid

[primeministersoffice]

guitar is out of tune. Also, the song isn't my Johny Cash.

[pinklomane]

*applause*

[michellesfchick]

wow, ur awesome !!!!

[siouxfan019]

your a duster man JOHNNY WAS AWESOME BUT THIS IS HARRY'S SONG NOT JOHNNY!!!!

[pseudohippie55]

Actually to be totally correct, the song was performed by Harry Chapin but it was written by Harry's wife-Jen Chapin while he was on tour-which adds a true story to the song

[bohica31812]

You do realise this isn't Johnny Cash's song, right? It's a cover of a cover of a cover of Harry Chapin's song

[squigglzzz59]

ur an idiot, it's been covered by harry chapin, UKJ, G&R, probably more, but it's a Cat Stevens song originally.

[bohica31812]

You're the idiot. Cat Stevens has never performed the song, ever. EVER. Harry Chapin wrote the song, and he's the person you hear when you hear the song on the radio.

[NoSuchPeoplePerson]

actually a lot of people do remakes of it... don't you know that? lol

[bohica31812]

I know that, but Cat Stevens is not one of those people. You guys are dumb. HE HAS NEVER SUNG THE SONG. HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SUNG THE SONG.

It is Harry Chapin, not Cat Stevens.

[squigglzzz59]

ya i know i wanted to see what ur reaction would be ;D pissed off a lot of people lol

[pseudohippie55]

Like many have said before me, it's a Harry Chapin song not a Ct Stephens song...do a little research before you start calling people idiots when they are actully right

Good remake of a great song

[bohica31812]

Thank you, I guess I'm not surrounded by retards after all

[quiltapatch]

you did the song justice! Great clarity in your voice.

[r0bBe2k7]

i love this song

[BerwickonTweed]

nice but i like the original better...

[ma1zn69]

its originaly cats stevens song

[kleinebudde]

No. It's originally Harry Chapin's song... I love the song.

[hupaolojones]

harry chapin dude

[squigglzzz59]

finally someone who's not an idiot lol

[darkenedgust]

yo retard jonny cash sings it to, and i prefer jonny cash as well.

[dbsk8r92]

[stormbouy]

ok i get it..its a cover of a cover of a cover..well at least nobody said it was a cat stevens song...anyway keep up the good work!

maybe someone will do a cover of your version one day.!(it wont be me though)lol

[sportfan1234]

good try... but maybe you should get the notes right

0/5

[KlasChrister]

2/5...

[Mariomarinette]

5/5

[darklord3431]

Mary

[LordRavenX8]

[monkeydufus]
