Frank Turner - The Outdoor Type [Lemonheads]

[bpan8]

this is a crazily good cover, and kind of sums him up before recently... he could become famous, but he's happy wherever.

[jonathanhggns]

He's kinda too intense, the best part about the lemonheads is even though the tune's kinda upbeat and the lyrics are funny, Evan makes it sound so melancholy

Excellent work though, probably better than i can do

[heidipasadena]

i supported frank when he played in auckland. lemonheads/ smudge are one of my favorite bands. he let me play harmonica and sing with him on this one. good night

[gianichan]

Great performer performing a great song.

[saalis]

You can tell he loves the song too! :)

[seadog2313]

I love frank turner, hes amazing and always holds a special place in my heart



[hogwood62]

he looks funny with a ponytale

[magd2992]

Very Mountain Goatsy...

[aryanstallyan]

he ruined this very very much

[tomnicholasmusic]

Plan B's first record is on the shelf behind him. Both were reasonably niche when this was videoed but are doing pretty well for themselves now. "I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend, what if something's on TV that's never shown again" Too true. Hahaha.

[TheDuckielova]

he looks so better with his short hair

GOATIES 4 LIFE!!

[Dannycru]

its quite hard to cover this song with an english accent...you just have evan's voice in your head which is obviously gonna be better than your own

[LPWNCAKES]

you have ruined this song for me forever. that was terrible. have a long think about what you do before you do them. that sucked, keep that guitar in its case from here on in

[03edwardsa]

@LPWNCAKES dont listen to it then. frank is the best

[RockerAdrenalin]

I like it :)

[PaleKidNO]

Does anyone have the chords for this version?

[joeafish]

good tune but I dont like the accent on that song

[pr0ct3r]

i want his hair to come back like that :(

[Raconteur]

@pr0ct3r Me too! Start a petition?

[pr0ct3r]

@Raconteur haha we need to get on it!

[Raconteur]

@pr0ct3r We'll track him down and have a word with him about it lol.

[christophermorriss]

classic from mcphail

[aryanstallyan]

way too clean

[mcphail16]

Iplayer, and other catch up services, have made the line " I can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend" redundant.

[CrackDanny]

haha!

[allular77]

Not a good version. Lacks the passion that Evan puts into it.

[Andy3920]

@allular77

I quite like his apathetic take, suits the lyrics/context at least. *shrugs*

[SomecallmeJack]

@Sharpoon yeah, its on his album The First 3 Years

[LOLaches]

One thing I adore about Frank, is seeing him enjoy himself when he sings... <3 You can see that he really loves to sing, and he's so talented too. And when he's enjoying what he's singing, it makes it so much more enjoyable to listen to.

[alfrodo42]

Frank is pretty much just a damn kick ass person, whether he wrote it or not is irrelevant, he still rules ;D

[StoneManMaverick]

Absolute class song....frank rocks - lemonheads rule!

[youdontbelong]

So disappointed to find out he didnt write this.

[Shadius]

what difference does it make who wrote the song?

frank turners versions are awesome, regardless.

[feedtheyak92]

Its on "The First Three Years" he released it with his re-release of Love Ire and Song.

[punkhippe]

hey lemonheads i cant grow a beard, so fuck you lemon heads. but frank is god.

[TheCloody]

Got to give Frank his due, it's a tremendous tune.

[jpstirling]

hi frank- i really love this song and what youv'e done with it mate- i have just recorded this song and have put it on my youtube channel too

[ruinedmonk]

brilliant cover

[25068475]

fucking tuuuune!!

[maghamjoh]

who the fuck is he?

[slytherinsheirx]

Out.. doors... what the hell is that? :P

Good cover. :)

[sjws]

i love how much he enjoys singing this song

[xxxxRicixxxx]

it's more screaming then singing but maybe the acoustic in the shop is bad

[iRepEast]

because he is a natural punk

[sockpuff]

Here here. Frank is awesome and if he cares about anyone who hates him, i'll eat my hat.

[dbrom3]

hahahaha!!!!!

I second that, in fact I will eat my own face:)

[FatMoses46]

he's not playing it wrong, covers don't have to be exactly the same... it's the same chords he just strums in a different way.

amazing song anyway, could never get bored of listening/playing to this.

[DrWacky]

@FatMoses46 It's not only the way he is playing. Different guitars give different sounds aswell.

[hurley215]

he's playing it wrong. evan is so much better.

[ForwardMarsh]

God bless the great indoors.

[SuZysuz5]

could listen to franky t for hours....so i do

prefer this to the original...oooo controversial :P

[numptysmum]

wonderful . bugger now i have to check th erest of the vids:(

There goes my spare time

[DitzyChl0e]

my fave song ever. and i do not say that lightly. and before anyone says i am well aware this is a cover, but this sort of song is just better performed like this. one man, one guitar, proper music. ive been followin frank since million dead and love both them and him. well done frank!

[foxyred86]

could listen to this for hours.

[ednnewman]

Oh and Frank is a total legend.

[ednnewman]

You can buy this on itunes as part of the xtra mile compilation release.

[MightyTSMan]

Damn fine accent if ask me, the man is a musical genius and this performance a mere light hearted rendition of a truly fabulous song.

[Belushipower]

release it Frank! Make it a HIT! So Tom and me can buy more meat!

[1200james1200]

Awesome

[jackass04]

I think Frank should release this song when he next releases an album or ep. Well good :D Far better than the Lemmonheads.

[sosmallinc]

he already has

its on the split e.p. with jonah matranga

[mcphail16]

My god, you fools that are complaining about his "cockney twinge" and "shouting the song". This is music, gents and ladies. Frank is a bloody genius, seem him numerous times and he's a real 'fans musician'. You have no place to slag him off, especacially consdiering this is quite clearly recorded at a record store on like a digi camera, so his voice was never going to be amazing (no offence to the guy who recorded it, in my opinion its still a great vid!)

[elpasodesinger]

I Totally agrree, i had a friend who i showed a few you tube vids and he had the same sorta "oh he cant sing attitutde" so i dragged him to an intimate show frank did, and my mate went and bought everything by frank. See him live, it will change your life!

[scaredweepel]

heard so many guys sing like this! with the that terrible cockney accent ring to it!

[afcblandi]

He's not even cockney dickhead! He's from the meon valley near winchester you silly bint!

[scaredweepel]

if people are going to put videos on youtube of them singing and playing the guitar! Don't expect every single comment to be a compliment! Or for them to think awesome and amazing and the best guy since, 'ever'. Sorry but the his nothing rare, he's good but nothing more! Also quit the bully boy rubbish! I know the internet is like a defence line when it comes to insulting people but it's just pathetic!

[foriamtheway]

You lied about being able to grow a beard ;)

Hold a very special place in my heart for Frank, as always a brilliant cover

[ukhardore1990]

Billy Bragg does actually remind me lots of Billy Bragg.

This cover is lush.

I prefer this version.

[danmalone72]

this is actually so bad he is yelling not singing

[bobfenster]

That's not yelling. It's an original take on the song, perhaps with a little Billy Bragg influence?

[proibidoanimais]

excelent version!

[watlydirt]

amazin, seen him 11 times

[bobdole020]

I really like this version, its got character.... He may not have an amazing voice but, like bob dylan his singing is very emotive...

[ukhardore1990]

I think it's lush.

And quite frankly, I think if at least one person likes it then no-one has a right to say it sucks.

His voice is lush

[sockpuff]

haha - FRANKly

[lostandwounded]

original this song is by SHARON STONED

[Belushipower]

wrong! bung-boing!

Smudge from Australia

[zcaliber]

wow garfield you sure you know your stuff, complaining about 'originality' and the 'key', in a COVER song. *claps*

[presidentgarfield]

This is not a lemonheads song, for your information the song was written by Tom Morgan and was first used as a track by his band Smudge in the early 90's Evan Dando didn't write this song...Anyway this has got to be the worst version of it i have heard in a long time, its not original and it lacks any form of subtlety or nuance, and the key made my ears bleed...Please frank if this is one of your favorite songs can you work on it a bit !

[sarahthepigeon]

gerid, this guy is not a hippie.

theres no way he grew up in a tent.

he went to Eton ffs!

hes got a good voice tho. :)

[KYUZZ2]

the original song is from a german band called "sharon stoned"

[Benjamoo]

cockney? what?

[iamkloot7]

lose the cockney accent

[flowerytights]

I love Frank Turner. He is amazing...xxxx

[wilkodevort]

fucking amazing! brilliant frank!

[teamescape06]

Better than the original, easily. Frank Turner, we salute you!

[Lemonhead86]

uhm.... even Frank would slap you for saying that.. this is great but the original is tops. (obviously.)

[lazmartin]

I think you'll find he would agree with you, however, i feel he would be horribly wrong and modest.

This version is immense...period.

[Lemonhead86]

im not saying it isnt good.... i'm simply saying it's ridiculas to compare it to dando's version....

[therabbit27]

I agree. Evan is better. He's got better voice, and last but not least, that's his song with his thoughts and feelings.

[gerid38]

this guy does a good personal take on it though, but yes Evan's is better. This guy looks like a true hippie. He looks like he grew up in a tent (lol). F.Y.I. though....Evan didn't write this one. A friend of his penned it. He's done other covers on albums as well. Peace...and don't forget the pleasure of walking till it's light outside!

[EddieAR]

It's good to know that people likes The Lemonheads, It's a really good cover. I'm still waiting to listen to Into your Arms or Hospital. Well Done Frank

[stands2]

frank does the lemonheads justice
