Most honest rendition ever of this song, I listen to it every once in a while, it's like Gary wrote it that day. The setting with the pickup on the driveway and one floor houses is a perfect match. Super!
Excellent rendition! You are the freaky neighbor I always wished I had! Everything about this video was great - bright sunlight, neighbors in background, birds chirping, big-ass beard, smiling singer...thank you for posting this video!
Great voice, one of the better renditions I've seen of the song. To get the best understanding watch the movie (which contains the FULL version, which most people dont hear watching the TV show).
"You did catch my simple error"... Oh so that was a (moronic) attempt at irony that just went right over my head?! LMFAO @ you! Wow, I really didn't even think you'd bother trying to qualify that one! So tell me, which one are you: a child or a retard?
When was it stated that the comment was over your head? You might want to refer back to that comment and examine a little more. I did accept the error, the only question I asked was what irony tasted like?
Listen man, I'm not really sure what it is we're actually arguing about. Whatever it is though, I don't think it's very important. So, on that note, I think I'll bid you a valedictory "cheers and God bless"...
What you mean he can't sing?? He can!! It's a brilliant voice. It's not pretentious, it's honest! and it's cool. yes there's a struggle in it, but sure so is there a struggle in the song...
well no matter what all these other cats are saying, i grew up watching mash.. and i never knew unti ltoday that the song even had words. and the feeling that you put into was cool enouhg for me, so thanks! I now have a new tune to work on! rock on Gary!
if you've never heard the lyrics i assume you have never seen the movie that spawned the show...if you liked the show GO RENT THE MOVIE...awesome casting...great flick...way better than the show...
great cover !

Don't mean to be a prude, but there was a section that was left out. After you say the first chorus, it follows with,
"The game of life is hard to play,
I'm gonna lose it anyway,
The losing card I'll someday lay,
so this is all I have to say."
Then you come in with, "the only way to win is cheat" because you already establish that life is a game. But other then that, good job
