The Mars Volta Birthday

[bluemaddness]

The Mars Volta did an awesome job on this cover. I would love to hear them do it live.

[Mambo64]

This is the first time I'm hearing this version. It's excellent. I would say The Mars Volta has superb taste in the songs they choose to cover.

[1stonelamb]

Wow! This is cool.

Has Cedric met Bjork? I wonder... :p

[mace82]

read the lyrics.

this song is actually pretty depressing, unless you consider molestation delightful.

[tarsid]

this makes me feel good and smile. :D

[shadyjimbo]

the mars volta is my favorite band in the whole world but honestly bjork does one hell of a job on the original version

[kuzmaniac05]

i agreee mars volta is fucking amazing my fav.

[miggy01]

I agree, I prefer the Sugarcubes version. Her wail in the chorus is amazing.

[hypoclit]

i'd have to agree this is a "feel good" tune. well all of their shit feels good to me but the tone of this song is brighter!!!!

[afropuppetpimp]

cedric has a higher voice then bjork and its so much prettier. i find that amusing!!

[chaosawaits]

are you on drugs? have you heard how high bjork's voice is?

[smooch0999]

actually i see afropuppetpimps point. Bjork and Cedric sing this song on 2 different pitches.

[JLKnoxville]

@afropuppetpimp Bjork's voice is infinitely better. Don't get me wrong, I love them both, but Bjork is in a different league, IMHO.

[solorazgrizwing]

man, this makes me smile.

[rodssslive]

Wow...!!! Who wouldve imagina a sugarcubes cover man!!! One of my favorite songs from them... Wow Mars volta you are comin back!!! You are coming back!!! yeaaaaaaaaaah

[HydraulicSandwich]

where were they?

[guitaoist]

so unexpected- thats their rules

[terrorhawk3072]

i agree but its not that unexpected. bjork is a big influence of cedric's.

[gallavan00]

Excellent song choice, great band, thumbs up all around

[ayoforyayo4]

very different. i like it alot. very good choice.

[gaypiles]

this is definately the best cover they've done. I didn't like candy and the currant bun much either, but it's growing on me.

Fucken love things behind the sun though.

[TheFreeshooter]

its so heart warming in a way

[CaptainWombat]

I love this song, i wish it was on the uk bonus track too, i'm not amazingly fond of candy and the currant bun

[elcipeace]

neither am i

[varethika]

amazing stuff.!!

[intrinsicanomaly]

Ah! I've been looking all over for this! Awesome.

[aggrocontrol]

Its really great to hear my favorite band cover one of my favorite songs.
