My Instrumental Version With The Original Starman - Starmans Umbrella

[LittleMissEmoGurl]

Shits goin' doooown on this vid X)

Some people*coughcoughleggyladycoug­h* need to gtfo the internet or stop thinking it's srs bsns.

[watchallzero]

I love the Starman theme and it sounds great in this mix. If you've not seen the movie Starman check it out great flick.

[Highway123456789]

Everything about this, from Video to song, kicks ass.

[ileeasa]

Uh..

Yeah,

This video effing rocks!!

Love this son :D

Wooo

[SomeRandomG33k]

So many butthurt children complaining that it sounds like Umbrella.

What did you expect, that songs will never sound similar, after hundreds of years of music?

[leggylady]

RIPOFF!!!! This is currently being used on the Virgin media ad! the original that has been sampled is the theme tune from John's Carpenter's film "Starman". It was written by Jack Nitzche, who also did the music for "One flew over the cuckoo's nest".. I wish folk wouldn't steal fantastic music, put some beats over the top and claim it as their own!!!!! I hope that Jack Nitzche's estate are aware of this and the loyalties being paid accordingly??!!

[SomeRandomG33k]

@leggylady ...Calm down, it's called sampling. He will have asked for permission or bought the rights to it, otherwise he'd be facing copyright laws.

[leggylady]

@SomeRandomG33k Drop the patronising tone! Even asking for permission and even if permission is granted, the original composer will be due royalties.

Sampling is the scurge of the music industry, you don't need to be talented to have a hit anymore...... do something original ffs!

[SomeRandomG33k]

@leggylady Again, calm down.

All I saw was you going crazy in a comment, didn't mean to "Patronize" you, good sir.

[leggylady]

@SomeRandomG33k oh, I am calm... you on the other hand can't read. I would have thought that the word "lady" in my user name would make it pretty obvious that I'm not a "sir". BTW Patronise is spelt with an S not a Z.... you're obviously a yank!?

[SomeRandomG33k]

@leggylady English actually.

I meant "sir" in the comical sense, not the insulting one.

Sorreh m8.

Oh noes my spelling is not up to scratch it seems, better correct it cos the inturnet is such srs bznz

[dsimmelink04]

@leggylady nobody stole anything unless you count GarageBand (which consequently is royalty free if you use any effects from it). Vintage Funk Kit 03. Recognize.

[leggylady]

@dsimmelink04 I'm sure Jack Nitzche would disagree with you!

Too bad he died a few years back.... that's probably why Dan Black thinks it's ok to rip off his Starman theme!

[ryanisaflaymer]

he lookss likea rapist and "hookus pookus? "

[Roland0fDarkTower]

there's original music out there, trust me. maybe people have been saying the same thing in songs for hundreds of years, but there's different music. you just haven't heard it yet. probably never will. same goes for you.

[TheMrJamzkee]

Hello there Imarni Gillham :)

[TheMrJamzkee]

This song should be EVERYWHERE.

[livinginoblivion]

The loop I'm hearing is the main theme from Starman

[davenrai]

thank you nba 2k11

[ratheradorkableOx]

this song, is beautiful.

[lgb400]

the song is from starman

[skilymelie]

tres bon !!!

[TheHeroAlex]

under my umbrella ella ella eh eh eh

[hanners4337]

totally in love with this song and the video.

[wtfitsmelina]

the beat he stole from umbrella

[angelluna8775]

love it

[getaname20]

Dan Black some out with some real shit, But this is definitely an exception!!

[jargan1983]

This video has so much win. Love it!

[chargrilledcharlie]

Anyone else reliase that he's completely ripped off the theme from the 80s movie starman? Some artist, must take real talent to do that!

[hitman7621]

@chargrilledcharlie doesnt sound hardly anything like it except the very beginning is similar. but after hundreds of years of humans making music, what did you expect? That all songs sound completely different? physically impossible.

[10sup10]

just one listen, and you're addicted.

[kaykayyish]

2:20--what movie is that supposed to be?

[trumpetgirl5]

@kaykayyish I think it's from the John Carpenter thriller 80's movie "The Thing"

[kaykayyish]

@trumpetgirl5 cooolio, thank yooooh!

[leggylady]

@trumpetgirl5 close... John Carpenter's "Starman"

[acari27]

ahhh thats it! the starman theme!...i remember really liking it when i watched the movie...im a little annoyed people keep ripping off stuff so much...but i loved that movie...jeff bridges played a good alien..and the lyrics are pretty good...but the guy that features is a way better singer

[acari27]

can anyone tell me what the classical piece is that hes sampled in it?...i recognise it...i just cant remember what it is...really thats the riff that makes it and the feature singer

[leggylady]

@acari27 it's the theme to John Carpenter's film "Starman". Written by Jack Nitzche who also wrote loads of other film themes including one flew over the cuckoos nest. He's dead now... I hope his estate are aware of the blatent rip-off and royalties are being paid accordingly now that this has been used for the new virgin media ad!

[TheJamesonCooper]

I love this song! listen to this is like fly into the sky ;)

[unclebob1978]

I don't usually like making comments on YouTube, but holy shit, this brilliant video is just so full of PURE WIN I just have to give kudos to Dan or whoever brainstormed the ideas for this video!

[demonikmagic]

something about him makes me think he's nerdy but still funny and awesome at the same time...

[upland77]

Can't stop listening to this song. It's AWESOME!

[SaladNinja3569]

'Tis ah gude tune, aye

[Jsith90]

What the fack, Dan Black is....white.

[GoonJrTV]

this has been out for a year?wtf?

[trugsby]

It's one thing to sample a song like 'umbrella'...which would be fine.

But this song really feels like the artist is trying to pass it off as his own.

I think this song would be much more liked if he threw in bits of Umbrella to pay homage.

[Mercs760]

no, just no. isn't like rihanna gave out a shout to garage band for the loop. at one point music will cross its bound to happen. it will be all done, it will all be said. plus rihanna is just a run of the mill pop star not saying this guy isn't but she basically shows up and sings someone elses song and dances in a video.

[paperrulz]

@Mercs760 rihanna is just a run of the mill pop star? Are you kidding me?

[Mercs760]

@paperrulz no i am not.

[earlydawnrose]

Love the song and video but I was wondering if someone can help me. The background symphonic sound is familiar to a movie soundtrack. Would anyone know what I'm talking about?

[wastepolice]

The movie was 'Starman' from 1984.

[earlydawnrose]

Thank you. I thought I recognized the song.

[linerage]

needs more publicity

[addison1977]

Awesome, love it

[jessica1362]

where is this song from?! i have heard it before but cant remember where...

i like it alot though! :]

[s17wes]

main soundtrack from the 1984 film starman

[MikePres91]

isn't that just Rihanna's Umbrella?

[MrSoehnke]

@MikePres91 The beat is on Garageband. Everyone can use it. Forgot which beat it is but if you have garageband ud find it pretty fast... Thank You i-Life!

[juventinorocks]

@MikePres91 wtf lol i agree lmao but its not as this came b4

[chillyqueen16]

who gave this fag a recording contract

im seriously

no talent and hes ugly

[mLukas093]

when kid cudi is in there is so much better

[hypakid92]

I FUCKING LIKE THAT VIDEO and the song

[lovedcfc]

strange video. creative, but not sure I like it completely.

good song though :]

[joaquin224]

great song!!!!

[booshakka]

it's still a good song, though

[twilightlvrlol]

im gonna pretend i never saw this video cuz now that i saw it i totally look at this song differently lol

[GooberTerd]

weird video....

hahaha

i still love dan though. =D

[dars2fun]

:3 ive been searching and searching.. found it :DD

[CorruptedHunter]

dude watch this high its so fuckin amazing:) im trippin ha

[AirRun415]

ah found it!

[PaperMadePals]

Probably one of the most creative and well thought out music videos ive ever seen!! wow

[trugsby]

he ripped this song of Rihanna...anna...anna...eh...e­h...eh...

[LarssonOfficial]

you call this "sampling" and it's limited to the drums in this track

[flossbee]

Actually the strings are a sample too. Its from the Starman theme. Google it or youtube it.

[orangeguy81]

actually the beat he "stole" is a loop that comes from Apple's Garageband app. They both used it.

[MusicizPwr]

@orangeguy81 lol it came from a really old movie starman

[MusicizPwr]

@orangeguy81 lol it came from a really old movie starman

or are you talking about the drum loop?

[londongirlrox]

I got this song on iTunes and loved it! There's just something about the way the song sounds that I like. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

[THOMASJOHNSEN818]

@londongirlrox Its got that little beep woman like,thats why.

[monkeyssister]

DUDE YAH! idk why but my favorite part is when he says seems like a stand prettymuch unseen. haha idk i feel studly(;

[greendayee11]

i know what you mean...tht is my fav. part 2

[lordnipple]

It should've charted, i love it for the same reason you do.

I still ask local stations to play it...to no avail.

It's a really good mix of stuff, Rihanna, and the soundtrack to Starman (from the 80's)

It's a gorgeous song...i only wish it could've charted for him.

[Bitchslap0813]

@londongirlrox I know what your talking about its like the song draws you in that you can't explain.. got this on itunes too and its on my repeat.. haha

[stephw922]

wow? i lovee this songg! it was free on itunes surprisingly!

[NicholeCandy]

found it on itunes, thought it was gonna b cheap and cheesy crap but i was wrong!!! this is great! ^o^!!

[dirnt1]

This is one of the most original music videos ive seen in a while! Kudos!

[attatae]

so rihanna let him use the track or what?

[perezryan02]

no ,actually rihanna copied the track and if this guy becomes a hit then they wont care if he copies other peoples tracks

[guerreroenpantalones]

i love this. i love the song, and i love the video. (i also love how it was free on itunes, and ill bet its about to be a big hit, just like fireflies)

[attatae]

[esthery2k]

[DiagoFrancis101]

[xXFlamingCheetahXx]

I hate Rhianna and Jay-Z ,,, But I love Dan Black, He made this song good even though it has this backing :P

[6403421]

[mercredi2012]

[savesthed4y]

[thisside0fme]

I just saw it on TV and loved it immediately !!!

G R E A T

[49kalafatis]

[EllieClifford95]

Yeahh It is :)

[edlaurs]

Is it just me or does it sound like hypntz, what's happening

[ChekhovsGun]

He "lost the track"

[ccs926]

.....also, he struggled back. He had wanted easy stuff to please him...something in the dark began to squeeze him....

and it resulted in this amazing song. =)

[1337FoxTrot]

[WetKant]

lame song, cool video

[varkiss]

the Sample of Starman is terrible!! J'adore.

J'adore ce sample. Je ne vois pas pourquoi tout le monde parle d'umbrella alors qu'il s'agit de la musique du film Starman. film magnifique

[enjoylifeandrock]

As The lights of a car go by in the stream Seems like I stand pretty much unseen But I open my eyes and beams Come out Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see Score adds up Angels play Let my lonliness get blown away Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see X2

[enjoylifeandrock]

Gimme, gimme, symphonies

Gimme more than the life I see

When I wanna quit, I suffocate it

I chew repelicious, stress repetitious

Vicious, I'm one outside you

Up above the streets on the DCY-er

Higher, fire in my guts

In a rut, but what I've got

Is in a can, no other human

But I do get lonely, scared I'm phoney

[enjoylifeandrock]

Dreams, schemes, moments wasted Taste that tasted Fate I'm fated Re-edited again then copy, pasted The lights of a car go by in the stream Seems like I stand pretty much unseen But I open my eyes and beams Come out Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see Score adds up Angels play Let my lonliness gets blown away

[enjoylifeandrock]

Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see Score adds up Angels play Let my lonliness gets blown away Gimme, gimme, symphonies Gimme more than the life I see I lie down in the dust just under your eye A scrap of paper, thin as vapour Filling my clothes like smoke A couple of the words in my heart are broke I throw, I miss, something, nothing

[enjoylifeandrock]

I can't disguise I was hypnotised Lost a track, struggled back I wanted easy stuff to please me Something in the dark began to squeeze me Seen it, there, been there in the mirror Totally focused, no hocus pocus Dare I give in to this thing gripping my skin To win, thinking how to add The lights of a car go by in the stream Seems like I stand pretty much unseen But I open my eyes and beams Come out

[thewavesrider]
