Under rehearsed and the vocals are real bad but surprisingly the guys have the right chords which aren't easy to work out. She's maybe a better singer than this would suggest. Hats off for getting the chords right though.
I was almost tempted to report this video as inappropriate. There is no word in the English or Arabic language for that matter that can describe how appalling this is.
Maybe the vocals needed a bit of refining, still, as a tremendous XTC fan, it's very rewarding to see someone pay homage to such a complex piece, and for the most part pull it off pretty well. XTC was,in my opinion anyway, the best band of the eighties ... screw the hecklers ...
Anyone who doesn't get this ain't no fucking musician. This is a fine version of a great song. Dumb-ass haters, continue on your blind trajectory of idealizing "art" as it conforms to your pre-fab aesthetics, and leave us to the real deal. RSM FTW.
@rawilson you mean anyone in a drunken stupor who doesn't get this. just because there's a lot more to being a musician, much less an artist, than technique (be it good to middling, or even bad), & even though one man's vomit is another's treasure, the "Portsmouth Sinfonia" these guys are NOT...
As a pro musician and mega fan of XTC, I am continually disturbed by the delusional need for people to get their 15 minutes of fame. I have an old super 8 of my Dear Grandma murdering an old Cole Porter classic from the 1980's - maybe I should put this on Youtube ....................................
My car was broken into and my XTC cd was stolen QQ. This was my favorite song on the cd with no comparison. As much as I would like to hear the original again I don't have the money to buy another CD and none on youtube so I have to listen to this version. I'm glad you tried but I know you guys could do a lot better with more practice!! Keep it up tho.

Take this woman away, blindfold her, then shoot her for the savage murder of a classic XTC song. This is a criminal version.
