I'll let the Romanian viewers vote on whose is more Romanian, but yours is definitely the second best cover I've heard on YouTube. Canstey84 did a nice one too but he sang the English version.
this is hilarious for me since im romanian and i understand what your saying and pronuntiation is acctualy on but a strong american accent okey good playing though
Since I had to learn this from text and know nothing about Romanian, I'm glad to hear it is recognizable at all. What surprises me when I play it live is that although I mean it to be funny, a lot of listeners actually think it's a good song!
You're welcome! A funny looking old guy like me will never get as many views as you guys, but I'm sure having it posted in response to yours has gotten me a lot more views!
There's only four chords-- F, C, G, Am. Four beats on each, repeat as needed. I'm surprised you asked for the chords and not the words! That was the hard part.
Yes, unfortunately I'm too busy to do repeated takes of a song until I get it perfect--when I get close enough with only little mistakes, that has to be good enough. Glad you like it. With that user name, can I assume you're a Velvet Underground fan?
Heroinnn... be the death of me... and I feel just like Jesus' son.. SWEET JANNEEEEEE.. but she never lost her head, even when she was giving head... YES! I love Velvet Underground! Even despite the fact I wasn't even born when they came on the scene.

@mrazbaby746 I've been told I resemble Steven King, Gary Burghoff, Dave Von Ronk, Don Ho, and Mike "Bubbles" Smith, but Sean Lennon is a new one.
