It's hard to really make a good cover off a Radiohead song because their music is so different. There is a uniqueness to them that can't be copied, so a cover has to be completely different so it isn't compared to the original. Unfortunately this doesn't quite do this. The cover of Hey Ya is an example of what they should've done with this song.
she (the pianist) is improvising off of the chord samples from the original "idioteque" that's the only way i can hear how the intro/song are connected. it's pretty nice either way.
My girfriend worked at a mental hospital and pogonophobia is no laughing matter... That is why it is a phobia, an IRRATIONAL fear. Quit your bickering kids and enjoy matt! Tastes better than coke (the drink) :P
Haha! I was sitting here thinking "I never commented on a video in awhile." I love Radiohead, and personally wish I had one ounce of their talent. My brother must be using my profile again. (Leaves computer to beat up his brother!) Problem resolved...
my my there sure are many pogonophobic people around :) Do people really feel that threatened by a beard? Is it social programming? Mental disorder or maybe jealousy? I know I am envious and wish I never shaved mine :) yea I'm a sinner, guess i should learn to play the ol' fiddle like johnny quick and win me a fiddle o'gold :)we humans are such ridiculous animals...all of us
0 sec... Have a gigantic beard & know educated people? you are bound to hear things you're not familiar with chum. (if you have trouble understanding words other than pogonophobia, then there's still a chance for you to finish grade school)
i think this sucks because the songs loses all his sense of escape that makes you feel...i mean radiohead's one delivers me to another world...this one is..nothing
i completely agree. this is a disgrace in terms of being a radiohead cover, theyve just changed it into a crap song with common chords. theres nothing special or overwhelming or the thought of it being an amazing creation like the original. it really annoys me.
Ok, so check list. Gorgeous girl playing keyboards...check...talented band....check...amazing beard? yeah...I'm going to say this is amazing to the extreme.
Between this cover and the radiohead original, I actually get more excited listening to this version. I really hope to hear more from Obadiah Parker in the future.
I would def buy a cd with this song.
