I dig it. I don't think Robin would even be able to keep it that simple were he to redo it (trumPET!). Something mystic I really like in this. Cool quality to the voice, and I can't always sing perfectly in key, and I don't think the boys ever did either, so I think even that lends something cool.
And you bash Clapton on your posts? Horrible!! You look like Tom Petty's retarded brother. Worse cover I ever heard. It looks like a Monty Python rejected skit. At first, I thought it was a comedy bit. Then I realize you really do think you are good, which makes even more funny.
whats eating you astroman?you fear the ISB, you cant handle the moves, there mythical lyrics scare you at night like a 3 foot buzzard stalking you as you play golf with the arms of manequins, whilst shouting religious blasphemies at the passers by, but theres really no need to panic man, clapton will save you with his greatest hits!
Hey, this is I guess your best cover. Your voice matches quite good to the song. Can you play Ducks On A Pond sometime? Would be great to hear it and also cool if more of the invisible brethren out there would try their best on the Strings Songs. I unfortunately don't own a cam (yet;)
Robin is one of the most "UN-up his own arse" people I've ever met. He's more likely to be disparaging of his work than anything.

Nicely done Simon. Was that filmed on a video camcorder or something? The grainy static gives it the song an extra melancholic edge i think ;)
Do you mind if I leave a link for my own ISB cover plz? - "Way Back in The 1960s"
