Mother and Child Reunion (Paul Simon)

[ecberr1]

terrible

[robbopaloobop]

this proves that it is possible to turn a great song into something that hurts the ears

[varmlandgirl]

This version resonates.. nice cover~

[paulsimongirl]

Sorry no one comes close to Paul Simon. Nice try tho

[danwry]

huh? seriously? This is an awesome song...well, the origingal is...this cover SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

[brutolbombo]

absolute bollocks

[flapjackhank]

That is great music. The great songs prove that even if you've never heard of these performers before (like me) the song and the mood are timeless...Thanks for the posting. Let's all listen to more PS music, everyday. Yeah!...

[ThePantomimeDame]

No !!!!!!!!

[RBCtpc06]

I did not like when I first heard it, but I really like it, nice beat!!!!

[jbbraham]

shit

[prettylaidback]

f*ck them... dont think they know how to play differently... also... remember Community... tiny nipples band? this video is terrible, why are there so many people watching them?

[Koopa42O]

haha nice top comments. Split decision eh?

[SingWithInNow]

sooo cute - love the diversity of people

[crosbyyacht]

like this version a lot, nice island beat,

probably a lot of fun to dance to, if i knew how

[karenmariewagner]

Nice job!!!

[geechskinnerny19]

Horrible

[geechskinnerny19]

this is the worst thing I have ever heard. They completely ruined the song

[ladiesrock83]

Thank you all for your replies and support !!! She's doing pretty good now, still not great with her heart condition but she's better...this song reminds me of my childhood !!! Great version !! Thanx again timenfield5 and jamjax !!!

gina

[menerausu]

[ladiesrock83]

Cool version, tho I love the original, I love this song period....my Mom is in ill health and it is killing me, don't want to go on without her.

[timpenfield5]

[lyricesterisgod]

Do you morons think you could have synced this up better?

[lyricesterisgod]

I come here looking for Paul Simon and find this trash.

[Hope2009pc]

Pure Shit!!!

[jerryrigging]

first cover of this song I heard...thanks for the post

[PERIZ99]

Wtf..??!

[Rogedrums]

Paul Simon's original version is much better, but i love the bass player!!! bedouin soundclash can do much better to, they are both awesome!

[nuttydel]

Rubbish! They missed out half of the words! Paul Simon's version is the one you all need to be listening to.

[david510152025303540]

not bad

[62rome]

good cover.

[CommercialConnect]

what is the female backup singers name?

[quixote969]

@CommercialConnect Zaki Ibrahim

[knoxunflower1]

No false hope from me....I mean you SUCK!

[Homer8j]

I like Bedouin Soundclash, but the performance by the band itself is average at best. The female backing singer is absolutely terrible. I can only describe her "vocals" as intermittent sound of a cat being punched. The band itself is only the Singer, Bassist, and Drummer as far as I know.

[eleikus]

ugh. really bad

[smoothsensations]

Love This Version Of This!

[murdochmikey]

@smoothsensations

you're the only one, fuckstick.

[schu740guy]

this is an insult to paul simon

[reggaeman1956]

load of rubbish , needs lots of training to play reggae and sing in tune  its awfull , listen to the original, that was brilliant and well done , where did he get this band from , iraqu ,, my god ,, its the worst live band iv ever heard ""

[vvupvup]

natsukashi

[quixote969]

I love the singers vulnerability

[4GreaN2PsykO0]

theres puke all over my computer screen now

[tadtad59]

Jamaica and Jones/Strummer

[banjosteve911]

AGGGHHHHHHH....what a load of utter BOLLOX!!!!! hahahahahaha, its so shit, its great!!!

[banjosteve911]

F U C K !!!! that was the worst thing ive EVER heard....please remove this utter shit...

[jurian0101]

great song, horrible interpretation.

[chefypop]

it sounds like the record is broke....

[tenya33]

Horrible.

[rawdog42]

omg this song is ruined now

[crispmom]

wow! I always thought that his vocals sounded a lot like Paul Simon. This is so cool. :))

[142060]

GREAT SONG.!!!!

[grady88888888]

anyone can cuss this version , but in all honesty five years ago, when i first heard bedouin soundclash, i convinced my friends to buy the cd cuz it held the vocals and sincerity of early paul simon, this is a great cover and to find it is a gem

[chefypop]

wow..he doesnt know the words..did u get it..it was the second verse all three times..wow, they suck..but great song anywho....

[Galaor09]

Silly-ass version of Mother and Child Reunion

[kodachromefilm]

This sucks. Is he out to kill the song? He and his band is a joke.

[n64roo]

i agree totally, i wish talentless hacks like these fools would stick to their own shit instead of ruining great songs done by the masters

[bearnbaz]

Brilliant remake! Paul Simon would be proud. Bravo Bedouin Soundclash!

[quixote969]

I love this version

[airighdrishaig]

What a rubbish performance compared with the genuine paul Simon

[tage92]

Wow, that sucked.

[fresh3456]

why is it so fucking hard to find the original version of this song

[doily01]

great song :)

[mike68jones]

what the hell is this crap!?

[tommerrigan1956]

@mike68jones It's a live performance of Paul Simon singing "Mother and Child Reunion."

Hope this helps.

[dxfreight]

@mike68jones Thank God Paul is not dead yet! He would be turning in his grave if he heard this abortion. Lol

Merely my opinion.

[tailthrower1]

hahahaha. The whole band was a group of homos... hahaha

[buffspringfield]

Nice hat thats all I can say wheres Paul

[Condors55]

Very good stuff....

[YERUBILEEtheBand]

It's not so easy to do a reggae cover. Many think it's simple but it's not.

Besides, starting at 0:10 somebody's guitar really needs to be tuned!

[quadoxalon]

It's made a little easier when the original song is reggae-like :P

[YERUBILEEtheBand]

You're right. And, in that case there's no excuse!

Absolutely no excuse for playing an out-of-tune guitar in the beginning of the song.

[mike68jones]

who is this duche?

[tilatequilalover12]

he is absoloutly aweful

[tilatequilalover12]

he sux ass

[wumbybumby]

No one but Paul Simon should sing this song. FULL STOP

[tenor529]

This guy shouldn't be allowed to sing in public.

[LesSmith45]

i like this better that ziggy Marleys reggae version. his is to slow.

[LesSmith45]

Wow this is different, A little reggae version, Of course it doesnt sound like the original is because its not supose to. I does grow on you. I agree the orginal is way better. but this is an ok cover

[jrsone2]

well the original version was a reggae song, Paul SImon used Jimmy Cliffs backing band, and the rythm is based off Joe Higgs "Theres A Reward"

[jhravens]

Ths is a an awesome verson!

[quixote969]

I think this is a really interesting variation -- it's growing on me

[ptcpaul]

this is ccccccccccccrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaa­aaappppppppppppppppp

[tenya33]

Horrible.

[eddiepie79]

whoever put this up is truely a piece of shit.... this is horriable take it off now.....

[JISAJ]

wheres the real paul simon?

[aCiDcHaOZ]

this is really bad

[SunnySunshine000]

This gives pain in my ears ...

[shoebobs]

This hurts

[cazzag]

...dont know wat to say really...:-(

[cicciostar]

Not really bad...

[Mancavic]

Is this Bedouin Sound Clash??? They are so bad!

I do a WAY better version of this song than these wankers.

[iamlarsson]

TERRIBLE

[oktony61]

this sucks....the original is ao much better.

who are these people??

are they supposed to be reggae???

[JISAJ]

i agree..the original much better

[chunkyjb]

wow, this cant compare to the original

[candycane242008]

omg ive been trying to find this song,holy shit,i love you guys hit me up i love simon and garfunfel,sorry cant spell.lol

[busch7460]

excuse me smerrigan, but this is a very famous band. They tour all over the world, Do your research before making comments! They make a Hell of a lot more money than you!

[smerrigan]

#1.What's money have to do with anything we're discussing here? #2

I don't need to do research: the proof here's in the pudding;even if this band is famous or talented..they sure dont do themselves [or Paul Simon]justice with this performance..get off it already..busch,if you could get past you're obsession and detach yourself from the singer for a nanosecond-you might agree..

[smerrigan]

anyone who thinks this version is good obviously has never played an instrument or knows anything about singing on key etc lol

[smerrigan]

brutal..go back and practice the vox..sounds like you smoked20 packs of cigs before the gig..busch7460 is on crack and is obviously blinded by the singers looks..if you honestly think his vox are awesome you are tone deaf

[busch7460]

Please do not use drugs in comments!

[busch7460]

the singer is hot!!! the sound of his voice is awesome! He can call me anytime! everytime I watch him i can't help but drool over him!!!!

[balletshoesEm]

the backing singer is really awful.

[wtby1981]

I thought they did a great job.They sounded like they did added a bit of reggae to trhe song.

[smerrigan]

a bit of reggae? the song is supposed to be done in a reggae fashion lol you obviously neber heard the original

[colar23]

i oni heard vocal n Guitar rythm is loud enough others musical instrument gone soft :( even i use equalizer at 22khz lower, must ve something wrong with their stage recording setup or their'r doing the UnPlug ???

[diarmuid666]

I can hear the rest of the band fine. Did you think that it could be the quality ofn the recording, i mean there's no bottom end at all!

[knarisa]

yikes! the vocals are so outta tune!

[29palms4u]

Hey, Get off the guy, Sure don't see any of you doing it any better... Beside's, I'll have to agree mike redden 913's comment, That after listenning to it a time or so, Sound's a little better every time....

[smerrigan]

you mean, after everytime you drink another beer right? lol c'mon man, you're clutching at straws..this is god awful, admit it

[youvegotbighands]

Yeah, these guys try way to hard. This seems very forced and more up-beaty. The song is supposed to be sad yet hopeful, not pop-y and shit.

[smerrigan]

Way to whiny and poppy..good talent these days is rare..like all these r&b singers doing remakes of older tunes that they try to make their own by varying up the melodies on the vocals..they end up just butchering the tunes lol

[riflelarose]

quit it.

[Fingerhut28]

definitely prefer paul simon's version (to say the least)

[buzzpupster]

I think the lead singer has a great deal of charisma and talent. The backing vocals are terrible--they sound unrehearsed, definitely. The lead singer looks too young! And that is a compliment--

[AVFC20081]

shit! Paul simon would not be happy. hehe

[SpunionBoy]

awful.

[johnbucio]

Yeah, I have to add to this. This is bad... most of the songs from this tribute concert have been dissapointing

[beatlebrent]

YUCK! They Butchered such a good song! The dude can't sing, everyone's out of tune. Bleh. Kill them ALL!

[mikeredden913]

lighten up, didn't like it at first, but started to grow on me. Liked the ending.

[soldiergone2war]

thius really sucks, kiss my ass fucker

[deepsix34]

The guy can't sing at all. He's way off half the time.

[bluetulips1977]

this sux

[pieterroelofs]

backchoir is so bad

[tubebunny7]

Actually they are pretty good and the girl has a pretty unique voice, I guess it's the accent. It's the acoustics that are a bit misleading.

[dusenberg]

good singing bad remake
